Rocky Handsome box office collections: Friday release, the John Abraham starrer Rocky Handsome box office collections barely troubled the cashiers at theaters, logging just Rs 1.84 crore on day 1 (opening day) indicating that the film’s run is likely to end on a woeful note. Rocky Handsome is an action film in which Abraham’s chiselled body is very much in view.
While critics have not really panned the movie, still very few people look to be willing to make the trip to the theatre. While the ongoing cricket T20 World Cup can be blamed for the lack of customers at the turnstiles, the lack of depth in the movie is equally to blame.
As far as Rocky Handsome prediction at the box office collections is concerned, with the T20 World Cup throwing up extremely exciting results like the India vs Bangladesh one or South Africa vs West Indies match, where the games went down to the wire, prospects for movies are not good – and we are saying this despite a long weekend in place, which many filmmakers would salivate at releasing their films.
Also, with such thin crowds at theatres, Rocky Handsome cannot even depend on word of mouth boost as the numbers will hardly stack up to anything substantial. John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome reminds one of Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan as both the movies have little girls at the centre of proceedings, but that is where all the resemblances end. Rocky Handsome stars, apart from John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Diya Chalwad, Nishikant Kamat, Sharad Kelkar, Natalia Kaur and Kazu Tang; Director: Nishikant Kamat.
