Samrat Prithviraj Day 3 Box Office Occupancy: Film hardly sees any growth on Day 3; expected to collect Rs. 13.25 cr. on Sunday

The Chandraprakash Dwivedi directed historical drama Samrat Prithviraj starring Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar hit screens on Friday. After much hype and massive promotions, the film which was made on a budget upward of Rs. 200 cr. hit a total of 3750 screens in three languages. However, contrary to expectations the film which also features Sanjay Dutt and Sonu Sood, started off on a less than expected note with just Rs. 10.70 cr. coming in on Day 1. Following this, on the second day, the business of Samrat Prithviraj witnessed a rather minimal increase of only 17%, managing to draw in a further Rs. 12.60 cr.

Now on Day 3, reports suggest that Samrat Prithviraj that has been facing an uphill task at the box office has continued to flounder. With little to no momentum in multiplex-dominated sectors, the historical drama is heading for troubled waters. As per trade predictions, the film is likely to see hardly 8-10% growth on its third day as compared to its second. With key money-spinning circuits like Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and other not contributing as usual the overall business of the film has taken a serious hit. On the other hand territories like Rajasthan, CP, and CI have seen a decent spate of collections, however, the business from these single-screen dominated sectors is not really enough given the film’s massive budget.

Speaking of budgets, Samrat Prithviraj which was made on a budget upwards of Rs. 200 crores still has a long way ahead before it can be termed as a break-even venture. Sadly, as things stand today, the chances of Samrat Prithviraj entering the Rs. 100 cr. remain bleak.
