Raksha Bandhan Day 2 Box Office Collection | Raksha Bandhan Friday Box Office Collection

Along
with
Aamir
Khan’s

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
Akshay
Kumar’s
family
entertainer

Raksha
Bandhan
also
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
Thursday
(August
11).
However
releasing
on
the
holiday
of
Raksha
Bandhan,
the
Aanand
L
Rai
directorial
got
a
disappointing
start
at
the
box
office.

Raksha
Bandhan
minted
Rs
8.20
Crore
on
Day
1.
Akshay’s
earlier
releases

Bachchan
Paandey
and

Samrat
Prithviraj
had
opened
at
Rs
13.25
Crore
and
Rs
10.70
Crore
respectively
at
the
box
office.

According
to
reports,
while
Aamir
Khan’s

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
had
an
upper
hand
in
the
multiplexes,
Raksha
Bandhan
fared
slightly
better
than
it
in
the
single
screens.

Talking
about
its
performance
on
its
second
day
of
release,
the
Akshay
Kumar-starrer
witnessed
a
drop
of
around
25%
in
its
box
office
figures
as
it
was
a
working
day.
If
the
early
trends
are
to
be
believed,

Raksha
Bandhan
minted
a
collection
in
the
range
of
Rs
5
to
7
Crore
on
Friday.

Previously,
before
the
film’s
release,
director
Aanand
L
Rai
had
said
in
one
of
his
interviews,”I
don’t
know
how
much
it
(the
film)
will
be
liked.
But
I
do
know
that
nobody
can
dislike
it.

Raksha
Bandhan
cannot
fail
to
touch
the
hearts
of
every
Indian.
It
is
the
most
relatable
film
I’ve
made.”

He
had
further
added,
“At
a
time
when
we
are
rapidly
losing
our
family
values,

Raksha
Bandhan
will
remind
us
of
those
family
films
that
told
us
how
important
it
is
to
hold
on
to
those
ties
that
make
our
life
meaningful.”

However,
upon
the
film’s
theatrical
release,
it
received
flak
for
its
regressive
story
telling
and
flimsy
plot.

Raksha
Bandhan
marks
Akshay
Kumar’s
second
collaboration
with
Aanand
L
Rai
after

Atrangi
Re.
The
film
features
Bhumi
Pednekar
as
his
leading
lady.
