Sarfira Registers Low Collections For Its First 3 Days

Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira has collected over Rs 12 crore at the box office in three days since its release on July 12th. The film has become among the lowest earners in Akshay’s recent releases, with a low key opening of Rs 2.4 crore which is lesser than the opening of Mission Raniganj (Rs 2.8 crore) and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (Rs 16.07 crore).

The film saw a gradual increase on Day 2, earning over Rs 4.25 crore with a 70 percent rise due to good word of mouth. It followed on Day 3, Sunday, as the film collected Rs 5.25 crore showing upward trends. There was a dip on Monday with an overall occupancy of 9.07 percent as the film earned only Rs 0.64 crore.

In the post-pandemic era, Akshay’s films have struggled to hold at the box-office after initial days. Apart from OMG 2 (2023) and Sooryavanshi (2021), none of his films did well at the boxoffice. His next has Sky Force and Singham Again in his slate, releasing later this year.

Sarfira is directed by Sudha Kongara and also stars Paresh Rawal and Radhikka Madan in key roles. It is a Hindi remake of her Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (2020) starring Suriya and was released in theatres on July 12.
