Sardaar Gabbar Singh box office collection: Pawan Kalyans film takes big dip after a good start

Pawan Kalyan-starrer Telugu actioner Sardaar Gabbar Singh raked in over Rs.30 crore on release day worldwide. However, the numbers have dropped on the second day across most locations, according to a trade expert.

"The film managed to collect Rs.31 crore on its first day worldwide. It's a phenomenal start, but the numbers dropped across major locations on Saturday, following the very bad initial response from fans and critics alike," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

Since the opening weekend is crucial for most big releases, Trinath feels it's really important the numbers for Sardaar Gabbar Singh don't drop further.

"The numbers have dropped drastically in several overseas locations. While the Thursday premieres registered record opening, the numbers on Friday and Saturday don't look good and that's a bad sign for the movie," he said.

The film also had a phenomenal opening overseas. The film was released in about 84 theatres in US and it has raked in about Rs. 5.3 crore in three days (including the Thursday premiere shows). Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the box office collections of the Pawan Kalyan-starrer.
