Shamshera box office collection day 3: Ranbir Kapoor-starrer struggles – check what analysts say

Shamshera box office collection day 3: Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Shamshera, which was released on Friday (July 22), has failed to keep with audiences’ expectations. The film which marks

Ranbir's return to cinema after 4 years, has done average business during its first weekend.

The film has earned meagerly around Rs 30-31 crore in the last three days, as per the industry trade analysts.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:  “#Shamshera struggles on Day 2... Substantial growth on Saturday was a must, esp after an unenthusiastic start...”

“Mass pockets remain below par, which is a worrying sign... Sunday business is the last hope to recover lost ground... Fri 10.25 cr, Sat 10.50 cr. Total: ₹ 20.75 cr," he added.

As per the early trends, Shamshera made Rs 9.75-10.75 crores on Sunday, taking the total count to Rs 30.50-31.50 crores in three days, a box-office report website koimoi.com said.  

It is speculated that the film may get discontinued from most of the places in the second week on the back of weak box office collection, analysts believe.

In his review, Adarsh termed Shamshera as ‘unbearable’ by giving a rating of half star out of five. He wrote on Twitter, “(It)Brings back memories of #ThugsOfHindostan… Even #RanbirKapoor’s star-power cannot save this ship from sinking… EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT.”

The film's plot is based in the mid-18th century, wherein Ranbir Kapoor, who is the lead protagonist, plays the role of a dacoit. He is pitted against Sanjay Dutt, who portrays the role of an evil, merciless and cold-hearted man named Shuddh Singh.  

The story revolves around a slave who becomes a leader and eventually a legend for his tribe, who fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. Shamshera also stars Ronit Roy, Saurabh Shukla, and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles, while for the female lead the makers have roped Vaani Kapoor.
