The Abhishek Bachchan starrer Ghoomer recorded a total collection of ₹1.1 cr on Saturday, showing a 29 percent growth from its opening day figures. The R.Balki-directed film had opened with an ₹85 lakh figure on Friday. Ghoomer stars Saiyami Kher in lead role, besides Abhishek Bachchan.
3 things you need to know:
- Ghoomer is inspired by the true story of a Hungarian rifle shooter named Kakoly Tatacs.
- Ghoomer director R.Balki also directed a segment in the Netflix original Lust Stories 2 earlier this year.
- Abhishek Bachchan’s last theatrical release was Manmarziyaan (2018).
Ghoomer estimated to collect 1.2 cr on Sunday
Ghoomer's collections now stand at 1.95 cr, after day 2. The film's Sunday collections reportedly will be similar to its Saturday figures. According to Sacnilk.com, Ghoomer showed the best occupancy in Pune this morning, where it has a total of 49 shows. The film recorded a 40% occupancy in the city, as compared to its average occupancy of 24.3% across all venues. As per the trade website Sacnilk, the film is estimated to collect 1.2 cr on Day 3.
Ghoomer was reportedly made on a budget of ₹25 crores, including Prints and Advertising costs. According to a report by Boxofficeindia.com, the film would have had a chance of fairing well at the box office, if the Saturday collections were twice as much as on Friday. However, Ghoomer’s success on box-office doesn’t look likely, with its current figures and trend.
Ghoomer also stars Shabana Azmi
Ghoomer is inspired by a true story and tells the story of a paraplegic woman who becomes a successful cricketer with the guidance of her coach. Besides Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher, the film also stars Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi in its primary cast. Azmi was recently also seen in Ranveer Singh-Alia Bhatt starrer Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
