Crakk Box Office Collection Day 1: Vidyut Jammwal, Arjun Rampal's Film Faces A Slow Start
Vidyut Jammwal and Arjun Rampal's 'Crakk' faces a tough start against Yami Gautam's 'Article 370'.
New Delhi: Vidyut Jammwal and Arjun Rampal's action-packed project, ‘Crakk’, hit a rough patch with critics, receiving a lukewarm response upon its release. ‘Crakk’ is also facing competition from Yami Gautam's political thriller ‘Article 370’, which made Rs 5.7 crore on its first day.
The movie ‘Crakk’, which was directed by Aditya Datt, made four crore Rupees in India on its first day, according to early figures on a trade website. The cinema ticket price dropped to Rs 99 on February 23, Cinema Lovers Day. Because of this, the movie was able to attract more viewers.
With the weekend ahead, the real test for ‘Crakk’ lies in its ability to compete with Yami Gautam's film, which has garnered positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike.
Despite its initial setbacks, ‘Crakk’ did manage to surpass Vidyut Jammwal's previous film, ‘IB71’, with a first-day haul of Rs 1.55 crore in India. Additionally, it outperformed ‘Commando's’ opening-day collections.
With an estimated budget of Rs 80 Crores, including production and advertising costs, ‘Crakk’ holds promise for an adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience. Directed by Aditya Datt, the film centers on Siddhu, a daring adventurer from Mumbai, whose quest to participate in an extreme sports tournament unfolds amidst personal challenges and risks.
Arjun Rampal on his transformation
Arjun Rampal, who underwent a rigorous physical transformation for his role in ‘Crakk,’ shared insights into his preparation. He told ANI, “For this role, I had to go way lighter and work on my agility. I swam every day in open waters to increase my cardiovascular strength. I ran 10K thrice a week and ate clean. I had to make sacrifices to get in shape and tip the scale in my favour. I ate a lot of protein and followed a strictly veg diet thrice a week.”
