The weekend numbers for A Gentleman , Babumoshai Bandookbaaz and Vivegam are in and the Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline starrer has suffered the biggest jolt out of the three.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, A Gentleman has received a major setback, making only Rs 4.73 crore, which leaves its domestic total at Rs 13.13 crore. Overseas, it has managed to make Rs 7.03 crore.
The film was expected to fare well at the box office because both Malhotra and Fernandez enjoy a huge fan-following.
However, it seems Indian audiences have started moving towards content-drive films.
Here’s Adarsh’s tweet:
