Noor Box Office Collection Day 1: Sonakshi Sinha's Film Starts On A 'Dull' Note

New Delhi: Actress Sonakshi Sinha's recent release Noor got a dull start at the box office, says trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The film opened to damp reviews and made a meagre Rs 1.54 crore on the opening day. Noor opened in 1450 screens along with Raveen Tandon's Maatr and Aparna Sen's Sonata. The film critic also said that Noor "needs a major jump over the weekend to leave a mark." According to a Box Office India report, Noor's first day collection is "not even 50 per cent of other heroine-orientated films." Sonakshi Sinha's Akira, which released last year, opened at Rs 4.81 crore. Last week's film Begum Jaan with Vidya Balan in lead made Rs 3.94 crore on the first day despite competition from Fate Of The Furious.

Taran Adarsh gave the box office numbers of Noor's Day 1 collection:

In his review for NDTV, film critic Raja Sen said: "Sonakshi Sinha musters up a couple of sincere moments but frequently tries too hard, while her character comes across airheaded, incompetent and unlikable." He gave the film two stars out of five.

Noor also stars Kanan Gill, Shibani Dandekar and Sunny Leone as herself in a special song.
