 "Bhoomi, Haseena Parkar, Newton box office collection: Sanjay Dutt-starrer leads on opening day")
This week, box-offices across the country, saw three most-awaited Hindi films hit the screens along with some big Telugu and Hollywood movies. Sanjay Dutt-Aditi Rao Hydari starrer _Bhoomi_ clashed with Shraddha Kapoor’s Haseena Parkar . A relatively smaller (in terms of budget) film, _Newton,_ starring Rajkummar Rao, also released this week. While all the three movies were backed by some genuine hard-hitting content, their performance wasn’t that great at the ticket counters. According to film-trade analyst Taran Adarsh’s tweet, Bhoomi made Rs 2.25 crore on its opening day.
