October and November have witnessed the release of some landmark movies in Bollywood. Some went on to perform remarkably well at the box office, whereas some failed to impress the audience. Let's analyse where the latest release of this week, ie Tumhari Sulu and Aksar 2 stand in terms of their box office collection:
-
Director Suresh Triveni’s Tumhari Sulu that hit the silver screen on November 17, 2017 despite opening on a cold note has surely gained pace with time. The film that also features Manav Kaul, Neha Dhupia, RJ Malishka collected Rs 16.56 cr till 5th day. Tumhari Sulu saw a sharp growth of 60.63 per cent, probably owing to the word of mouth, as per media reports. Tumhari Sulu is a comedy-drama and tells the story of a Mumbai housewife Sulochna or Sulu who lands a job of a night radio jockey at a radio station. The film comes as a breath of fresh air for its lead actress Vidya Balan, whose last few films have not fared well at the box office.
