Malang box office collection: Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani's suspense thriller makes Rs 39.65 cr in opening week

Aditya Roy Kapur , Disha Patani , and Anil Kapoor -starrer  Malang witnessed a promising collection after its opening week at the box office. The suspense thriller garnered Rs 3.20 crore on Thursday, pushing its total earnings to Rs 39.65 crore.

Trade analysts note the Mohit Suri directorial needs to maintain its momentum at the ticketing booths even during its second week to register a healthy total. This may prove to be difficult for Malang since it will now clash with the Valentine’s Day fresh release —  Lov e Aaj Kal . The coming-of-age drama, starring Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan, has been directed by Imtiaz Ali.

The other films running alongside Mohit Suri’s drama are Shikara ,  Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior , and  Jawaani Jaaneman.   Shikara has approximately amassed Rs  4.95 crore during its opening week, reports Bollywood Hungama.

Meanwhile, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday claimed  Goa’s image was being “maligned” in Bollywood films like Malang, which depicts Goa as a narcotics haven. He added in the future film shoots will be permitted in the state only after scripts are examined.
