Indian 2 Box Office Collection day 1: It seems like Kamal Haasan’s film is not off to a great start. The highly-anticipated sequel, directed by S Shankar, was expected to emerge as one of the big hits this year. While the reviews are not in the favour of Indian 2, it has been revealed that the film has recorded a slow start at the box office, collecting Rs 26 Cr in all languages.
According to Sacnilk.com, Indian 2 recorded an opening day collection of Rs 17 Cr in Tamil. The film drew the second highest collection on Day 1 with its Telugu version. The report stated Indian 2, known as Bharateeyudu 2 in Telugu, collected Rs. 7.9 Cr. Meanwhile, in Hindi, titled as Hindustani 2, the film collected Rs 1.1 Cr.
In Hindi, it faced competition from Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira. As per the outlet, Sarfira collected Rs 2.40 Cr in Hindi. The film is a remake of the Tamil film, Soorarai Pottru. Meanwhile, both films also faced off Kalki 2898 AD. Into its third weekend, the Prabhas film has collected Rs 548.60 Cr in India alone in three weeks.
Indian 2 is a sequel to Indian, which released in 1996. S Shankar released the sequel after 28 years and it has not impressed the critics. News18’s review of the film read, “Everything looks great on paper. And Hindustani 2 is a great attempt. But it still falls short. It lacks the freshness of Hindustani and the makers try their best to make the canvas, magnitude, and scale bigger and better. Unfortunately, the film loses itself in its own ambitions. And while it stays true to its larger-than-life feel, dramatic tonality, and flamboyance, that also becomes a weak link for Hindustani 2. In short, it lacks the depth, the gravity, and the layered intricacies of the subject it had set out to explore. Halfway through it, you’ll feel as though you’re stuck in a labyrinth as Senapathy keeps aiming at one corrupt official after another giving them a cold-blooded death.”
