Shamshera box office first weekend: Ranbir Kapoor's film underperforms majorly, collects Rs 30 Cr plus

Shamshera has wrapped up its first weekend on a disappointing note at the Box Office. The film, fronted by Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt, has collected around Rs 10.40 crore (estimated number) on its third day at the ticket window.

This takes the overall first-weekend number to Rs 30.80 crore (estimated number) which is not just upsetting but disastrous for a film at this scale.

Shamshera saw a wide release on over 4300 screens. However, neither its giant starcast, the big banner, nor the level of its release has helped its Box Office figures.

The film is now looking at a lifetime run of around Rs 50 crore which was not expected at the trade run when the movie was announced.

While YRF has already sold the satellite rights to the film, thereby not incurring big losses, the theatrical business of the film is only going downhill.

So much so that there have been reports of show cancellations in a few circuits. Shamshera's major collections are coming from Delhi/ UP and the Maharashtra circuits.

However, the numbers are so low as compared to its budget that the film doesn't even require the Monday test to be declared a dud at the ticket window.
