‘Panga’ was critically acclaimed while ‘Street Dancer 3D’ got mixed reviews from the critics. Despite the rave reviews, ‘Panga’ couldn’t set the box office on fire.
The sports drama, which started on a slow note, could only collect Rs 1.65 on its fourth day. Bollywood critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office collection of ‘Panga’ on Twitter.
“#Panga dips on Day 4... Was important to hold at Day 1 levels for a respectable Week 1 total... Unable to improve its BO prospects beyond select metros... Weak in mass circuits... Fri 2.70 cr, Sat 5.61 cr, Sun 6.60 cr, Mon 1.65 cr. Total: ₹ 16.56 cr. #India biz,” Adarsh tweeted.
‘Street Dancer 3D’, which started off well, also witnessed a dip on Monday. The dance film minted Rs 4.65 crore to take the total collection to 45.88 crore.
#StreetDancer3D slips on Day 4... Decent hold in mass belt/single screens... Metros/multiplexes go downhill... Trending much lower than #ABCD2 [2015]... Fri 10.26 cr, Sat 13.21 cr, Sun 17.76 cr, Mon 4.65 cr. Total: ₹ 45.88 cr. #India biz,” Adarsh wrote on the micro-blogging site.
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s ‘Panga’ focused on the story of a forgotten Kabaddi champion. The movie co-starring Jassie Gill, Neena Gupta and Richa Chadha talked about a mother’s aspiration and narrated the tale of Jaya’s struggle and comeback to the game post marriage and motherhood.
‘Street Dancer 3D’ is the story of two rival dance groups from India and Pakistan, who compete against each other every time they meet. The Remo D'Souza directorial is set against the backdrop of a global dance competition and also features Nora Fatehi, Prabhu Deva, Aparshakti Khurana, Punit Pathak, Raghav Juyal and Dharmesh Yelande in key roles.
