Some action on Box office this weekend with Rajkummar Rao starring Srikanth and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes releasing on May 10. Both the films have collected around 5 crore nett which is a fine start owing to the recent releases in bollywood and overall Indian box office post Eid.
The collections of Srikanth will fall in the 2.25-2.50 crore nett range as the film will cross 2.25 crore nett but may just fall a little short of 2.50 crore nett but these are pretty decent numbers for the film which does not have much face value and limited commercial elements.
There should be some good growth for the film on day two but the story of the film will depend on what unfolds post the weekend. This film picking up over 2.25 crore nett when Maidaan could only do 3.90 crore on national holiday will be seen as a positive within the industry due to expectations being very low due to what happened on Eid.
Rajkummar Rao plays the visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla in Srikanth. The industrialist pursued his dreams despite his visual impairment, ultimately founding Bollant Industries. Alaya F, Jyotika and Sharad Kelkar also round out the cast of Srikanth. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani.
