It wouldn't be wrong to say that John Abraham's
Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran turned out to be quite a safe bet for the filmmakers of the film as it has managed to collect overs Rs 61.29 crore within four weeks of its release, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Parmanu's performance at the box office remained intact despite facing stiff competition from Salman Khan's
Race 3, which has churned over Rs 120 crore within four days of its release.
Parmanu's performance took a dip on Friday (due to the release of
Race 3). However, on Monday
Parmanu's collection gained momentum, earning Rs 38 lakh while
Race 3 witnessed a decline in its business, reports Taran Adarsh.
Parmanu and
Race 3 deal with extremely different subjects but they have been equally adept at performing well at the box office.
Parmanu is based on the 1998 nuclear test explosions that took place in Pokhran while
Race is a high-octane action thriller with strong ensemble cast.
According to Taran Adarsh,
Parmanu's consistent performance could be attributed to the film's strong content while
Race 3's golden run at the ticket window could be a result of Eid festivities. "Content scores and box office numbers do the talking... Eid festivities gave massive boost to its business," he tweeted.
Take a look at Taran Adarsh's tweet here:
Race 3 ranks second in 2018's top five opening weekend list, which is topped by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "
Padmaavat".
Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran features Diana Penty and Boman Irani in pivotal roles whereas
Race 3's ensemble cast comprises Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol and Saqib Saleem.
