'Thugs of Hindostan' tanks: Biggest day-1 grosser becomes 'biggest shocker'
The combination of Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif hasn't helped Thugs of Hindostan garner box office numbers after the first day. After minting a record Rs 500 million on Day 1, the multistarrer's fortunes have been in a free fall as it collected just above Rs 1.33 billion in the first five days after release. By the time the weekend was over, the movie seemed to have gone out of favour with the audience as it struggled to notch up even a tenth of its Day 1 figures on Monday and Tuesday. Bollywood analyst Taran Adarsh summed up the box office figures as follows: Hindi: Thursday: Rs 507.5 million Friday: Rs 282.5 million Saturday: Rs 227.5 million Sunday: Rs 172.5 million Monday: Rs 55 million Tuesday: Rs 43.5 million Total: Rs 1.28 billion Tamil + Telugu collection for five days: Rs 49 million Grand total: Rs 1.33 billion Adarsh called the movie the biggest shocker of the year in a tweet.
