Hrithik in Mohenjo Daro vs Akshay in Rustom
Taran Adarsh shared:
He wrote, ''#MohenjoDaro Fri ₹ 8.87 cr. India biz... Will need to show solid growth to leave a mark!''. It seems that 'Mohenjo Daro' had a steady start on Day 1. With 8.87 crores, Hrithik and Pooja Hegde's film did a surprising first-day collection.
The trade analyst also gave away the numbers for Akshay Kumar, Ileana D Cruz and Esha Gupta's starer 'Rustom'.
He wrote, ''#Rustom starts with a bang... Leads by a big margin... Emerges 4th highest opener of 2016... Fri ₹ 14.11 cr. India biz. The movie has become the fourth highest opener leaving Akshay's previous movie, ''Airlift'' behind by a huge number. However, Rustom just fell short to Akshay's 'Housefull 3' which is still in the top three highest engrosser movies of the year.

Akshay’s movie also stars Ileana D Cruz and Esha Gupta in the pivotal roles whereas Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’ will mark the debut of Pooja Hegde. ‘Mohenjo Daro’ is about the protagonist falling in love with his enemy’s daughter. Akshay Kumar-Ileana D’Cruz starer “Rustom” on the other hand is reportedly a film based on the 1959 Nanavati case.
