Akshay Kumar's latest film, "Sarfira", has gotten off to a disappointing start at the box office. According to reports, the movie collected only Rs 2.5 crore on its opening day, making it the lowest opening day collection for an Akshay Kumar film in the last 15 years. The film's collection on the second day showed an increase, but it was still not impressive, with the movie earning Rs 4.25 crore. This represents a 70% increase over the first day's collection, but the total collection of Rs 6.75 crore is still a far cry from the film's budget of Rs 100 crore.
The film faces stiff competition from Kamal Haasan's "Indian 2", which was released on the same day. "Indian 2" has a bigger budget of Rs 150 crore and has performed better at the box office, collecting Rs 25.6 crore on its opening day and Rs 16.7 crore on its second day.
Akshay Kumar's recent films have not performed well at the box office. His big-budget film "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan" with Tiger Shroff was a flop, and his other films like "Mission Raniganj", "Raksha Bandhan", "Samrat Prithviraj", "Bachchan Pandey", and "Selfie" also failed to impress audiences. His only successful film since 2022 is "OMG 2", which was a superhit and also starred Pankaj Tripathi in a key role.
The poor performance of "Sarfira" at the box office is a cause for concern for Akshay Kumar and his fans. The film's failure to impress audiences on its opening day and its low collection on the second day do not bode well for its future prospects. With a big budget and a talented cast, "Sarfira" was expected to perform much better. However, it seems that the film has failed to connect with audiences, and its chances of recovery are slim.
The box office performance of "Sarfira" is a significant setback for Akshay Kumar, who has been one of the most consistent and successful actors in Bollywood in recent years. His films have always been eagerly anticipated and have generally performed well at the box office. However, his recent string of flops has raised questions about his ability to choose successful films and his enduring appeal to audiences.
The success of "OMG 2" earlier this year had given Akshay Kumar's fans hope that he was back on track, but the failure of "Sarfira" has dashed those hopes. The actor's fans will be hoping that he can bounce back from this setback and deliver a successful film soon. With several films in the pipeline, Akshay Kumar will be looking to redeem himself and prove that he is still one of the top stars in Bollywood.
