Anurag Kashyap’s Raman Raghav 2.0, which released on Friday, had a slow start at the box office by collecting Rs12 million (Dh646,316) on its opening day in India.
The film, which stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role, is loosely inspired by notorious psychopath Raman Raghav who embarked on a murderous killing spree in Mumbai during the mid-1960s.
Raman Raghav 2.0 collected Rs12 million on Friday. The film released in 770 screens across India, read a statement from the makers of the film.
Trade analyst Komal Nahata tweeted: “Opening of Raman Raghav 2.0 poor. Opening of other releases terrible. Going to be a bad weekend at box office.”
The movie released with six other films in India, including Junooniyat and Hollywood’s Independence Day: Resurgence.
Both these films have not earned favourable reviews, however the critics have lauded Raman Raghav 2.0 for being a taut thriller with impactful performances by not just Nawazuddin, but also Vicky Kaushal.
Distributed by Reliance Entertainment, the film is produced by Phantom Films, co-owned by Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena.
