Ghoomer box office collection day 1: Despite positive reviews, Abhishek Bachchan-starrer fails to earn even one crore

Ghoomer box office collection day 1: Director R Balki's latest sports drama, Ghoomer, led by Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher opened with positive reviews from the critics, but sadly, the movie failed to open on a decent note. As Sacnilk reported. Ghoomer collected only Rs 85 lakhs on Friday. 

Clearly, the super-strong box office business of last week's Gadar 2 and OMG 2 has overpowered and affected Ghoomer's business majorly. Before Ghoomer, Abhishek's last theatrical release was Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan (2018). As Bollywood Hungama reported, Manmarziyaan collected Rs 3.52 crores on its first day. Ghoomer has opened even less than Abhishek's debut film Refugee. As per the media portal, the 2001 movie collected Rs 1.56 crores on its first day. 

The climax scene of Ghoomer, where Abhishek Bachchan does a little victory dance is ideated by Aaradhya Bachchan. Talking about it, filmmaker R Balki told Bollywood Spy in an interview, “It was a very beautiful moment for me in our film. I am happy we managed to capture it, and obviously thanks to the people behind it who came up with the idea as well.” 

He added, "Abhishek was talking to Aaradhya and was telling her, ‘This is the end of the film.’ She had this beautiful suggestion, ‘Why don’t you do a little Ghoomer thing in the end and walk away?" He further called Aaradhya ‘the creator of that moment in Ghoomer’ and said, “That was Aaradhya’s first idea. For a child to have an idea and understand this stuff requires a lot of depth and love and I really want to thank her for that." As far as the box office collections are concerned, last week's OMG 2 collected, Rs 91.08 crore, whereas Gadar 2 smashed records by earning Rs 300 crore.
