From Firangi box office collections toTera Intezaar: Viacom 18’s delay in releasing Padmavati movie has given Bollywood box office a major setback in the first week of December as those other movies that have been released have not generated the kind of heat this Deepika Padukone starrer was expected to do. The delay in the film’s release has given way to films like Firangi, Tera Intezaar a chance to take the slot and avoid clashing with films like Murder on the Orient Express, Kaadvi Hawa, Sallu Ki shaadi and Fukrey Returns. However, films like Irrfan Khan starrer Qarib Qarib Singlle and Vidya Balan starrer Tumhari Sulu got a free run and performed well at the box office, while films like Sunny Leone’s Tera Intezaar and Kapil Sharma’s Firangi bombed at the BO. Let’s take a look at the box office collections of the movies running this weekend at theaters.

The film released on December 1 has earned 0.5 crore in its first weekend. (IE) -
