Raksha Bandhan Day 4 Box Office Collection | Raksha Bandhan Sunday Box Office Collection

Akshay
Kumar’s
festive
release

Raksha
Bandhan
has
failed
to
strike
a
chord
with
the
audience
and
is
having
an
average
run
at
the
box
office.
Upon
its
release
on
the
August
11,
the
film
was
panned
by
the
critics
for
its
‘regressive’ story
telling.
Going
by
the
box
office
numbers,
it
seems
like
the
audience
too,
is
disappointed
with
this
family
entertainer.

Raksha
Bandhan
which
released
in
around
2500
screens
across
the
country,
received
an
opening
of
Rs
8.20
Crore.
It
witnessed
a
drop
in
its
collection
on
Day
2
as
it
was
a
working
day
and
minted
Rs
6.40
Crore.
On
Saturday,
the
Akshay
Kumar-starrer
saw
a
nominal
jump
in
its
business
and
collected
Rs
6.51
Crore
taking
the
total
three-day
collection
to
Rs
21.11
Crore.

When
it
comes
to
its
performance
at
the
ticket
windows
on
Day
4,
early
trends
hint
that
the
Akshay
Kumar
film
witnessed
a
little
growth
in
its
business
and
collected
Rs
6-8
Crore.
Overall,

Raksha
Bandhan
had
a
disappointing
weekend.

Earlier,
Akshay
Kumar’s
wife
Twinkle
Khanna
had
hailed
director
Aanand
L
Rai
for
Raksha
Bandhan
and
penned
a
long
note
in
praise
of
the
film.

She
had
taken
to
her
Instagram
handle
and
written,
“Raksha
Bandhan
made
me
laugh
in
the
first
half
and
cry
through
the
second.
A
movie
about
the
India
we
all
pretend
doesn’t
exist.
A
reality
that
we
wish
didn’t
exist.
We
have
changed
terms,
from
‘dowry’
to
‘gifts’
but
in
homes
across
social-economic
strata,
variations
of
the
custom
loom
large.”

She
had
further
added,
“The
wonderful
Aanand
Rai
has
skilfully
built
a
world
where
siblings
tease
each
other,
support
each
other
and
ultimately
triumph
together.
The
challenge
with
altering
mindsets
is
that
these
conversations
circulate
largely
among
the
already-converted.
It’s
perhaps
only
cinema
that
has
the
power
to
burrow
into
the
minds
and
hearts
of
people
across
the
board.

Raksha
Bandhan
may
make
you
smile
and
crack
up,
but
I
dare
you
to
leave
the
theatre
dry-eyed.”

Raksha
Bandhan
also
stars
Bhumi
Pednekar,
Sadia
Khateeb,
Sahejmeen
Kaur,
Deepika
Khanna
and
Smrithi
Srikanth
in
pivotal
roles.
