'Panga' Box Office Collection Day 1: Kangana Ranaut's Film Starts On A Slow Note

Kangana Ranaut's critically acclaimed film 'Panga' couldn't set the box office on fire on its opening day.

New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut’s much-awaited film ‘Panga’, which hit the silver screens on January 24, has received rave reviews from the critics and fans. The sports drama co-starring Jassie Gill, Neena Gupta and Richa Chaddha couldn’t set the box office on fire on its opening day. The film started on a dull note and minted a total of Rs 2.70 crore on first day. ‘Panga’ is expected to perform on day two and three, owing to the positive word-of-the-mouth publicity. Bollywood critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office collection of ‘Panga’ on Twitter. He mentioned that the film picked up pace in the evening shows at selected multiplexes.
