Tejas box office collection day 2: Kangana Ranaut starrer remains low

After a disappointing opening day, Kangana Ranaut starrer Tejas failed to witness any growth on its second day at the box office. As per the early estimates, the film raked in Rs 1.25 crore on its first Saturday, which is similar to its first day. It currently stands with a grand total of Rs 2.50 crore.

Since there is a big World Cup cricket match between India and England today, the collections will be affected. It may turn out to be another forgettable affair for Kangana Ranaut after Dhaakad.

Yesterday, the actress shared a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) inviting her fans to watch Tejas and wrote, “Even before covid theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically post covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy with family and friends or else they (theatres) won’t be able to survive. Thanks.”

She said in Hindi, “Friends, my film Tejas released in theatres yesterday. Whoever has seen this film, has been giving us a lot of appreciation and blessings. But friends, after Covid 19, our Hindi film industry has not been able to recover totally. 99% films are not even given a chance by the audience. I know that in today’s age, everyone has a mobile phone, and TV at home. But community viewing, in theatres which is an important part of our civilization from the very beginning. Dance, arts… every type of dance, folklores… are all essential. So, it is my earnest request to the Hindi film audience and specially the multiplex ones… if you liked Uri, Mary Kom and Neerja, you will also like Tejas.”
