- Rs 2.04 crore was its opening day score
- Lucknow Central clashed with Simran
Farhan Akhtar's jail drama
Lucknow Central released on Friday and has made a total of Rs 4.86 crores, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on Sunday. The film has been at the theatres for two days now with its
single day break-ups for Friday and Saturday respectively being Rs 2.04 crore and Rs 2.82 crore. On Friday,
Lucknow Central had a clash with Kangana Ranaut's crime thriller
Simran, which has made slightly higher that Farhan's film. Directed by Ranjit Tiwari, the cast of
Lucknow Central also includes Diana Penty, Gippy Grewal and Deepak Dobriyal in key roles apart from Farhan Akhtar.
Farhan's movie may have scored slightly less than
Simran but witnessed a higher jump on Saturday. "
Lucknow Central shows 38.24% growth on Saturday," Mr Adarsh wrote in his tweet.
In
his review for NDTV, Raja Sen writes: "The importance of a solid supporting cast cannot be overstated. Ranjit Tiwari's Lucknow Central, a film about prisoners who form a band - a surprisingly popular theme this season - can be called engaging only because it is populated by very good character actors." However, about the film's climax, he adds: "It feels like it's taking place in slow motion, and because these scenes are set to a musical performance in the backdrop, the scenes put us in a fresh hell where the
Selfie Le Le song never bl**dy ends."
Lucknow Central is Farhan Akhtar's first movie after 2016's
Rock On 2, which turned out to be a box office dud. Will
Lucknow Central prove to be lucky for Farhan this time? Only box office figures will tell.
