Bollywood film Raksha Bandhan got off to a poor start at the box office as 1000 shows got cancelled on the second day of its release.
The drama film, starring Akshay Kumar in the leading role, earned INR 8.20 crore on its opening day. Sales dropped to INR 6.40 crores on day two. The total collection stands at INR14.60 crore.
Akshay Kumar’s three movies Bell Bottom (2021), Bachchhan Paandey (2022) and Samrat Prithviraj (2022) have been a box office disaster. His film Sooryavanshi (2021), produced at a budget of INR 160 crores, hit at that period as it earned INR 196 crores in India and grossed INR 295 crores worldwide.
