New Delhi:
Hrithik Roshan's film
Kaabil had what
Box Office India has described as a 'poor' Monday, making Rs 4 crore on its sixth day. The film's current total stands at Rs 58 crore, reports
Box Office India, which forecasts a
dismal second week for the film despite no big film release planned for this Friday.
Kaabil's day-wise break-up as stated by
Box Office India is: Rs 8 crore on Wednesday, Rs 15.5 crore on Thursday (which was a holiday), Rs 7.5 crore on Friday, Rs 10.75 crore on Saturday, Rs 12.25 crore on Sunday and Rs 4 crore on Monday, its lowest day in terms of earnings.
Film earnings generally drop by 50% on the first Monday, reports
Box Office India, and in comparison
Kaabil's 45% slide might be seen as relatively impressive - however, this is because the total last Friday was low in itself, says
Box Office India. Shah Rukh Khan's film
Raees, which released simultaneously, leads
Kaabil by almost double the crores.
Kaabil opened on January 25, a day ahead of the Republic Day holiday weekend. The film received fair to middling reviews and
Hrithik Roshan's performance as a visually-challenged man plotting revenge on those who raped his wife and drove her to suicide has been praised by critics.
Kaabil, directed by Sanjay Gupta and produced by Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan, co-stars Yami Gautam as the wife of Hrithik's character. Brothers Ronit and Rohit Roy are cast as the villains of the piece. Actress Urvashi Rautela features in a remixed version of Amitabh Bachchan's
Yaarana hit,
Saara Zamana.
