Kangana Ranaut’s solo directorial ‘Emergency’ has completed more than a week at the BO. Showcasing one of the most controversial and sensitive periods of Indian history – the emergency era of 1975, the movie has been the topic of discussion right from the word go. Several curve balls were thrown at the movie, and after fighting all odds, it made it to the audience. Further, right now it is battling for numbers at the box office.
Though the conspiracy and initial trade predictions didn’t stop ‘Emergency’ from having a decent opening weekend, the movie is losing business on the weekdays. After making Rs. 1.05 cr and Rs. 1 cr on its first Monday and Tuesday respectively, the movie has been able to mint Rs. 1 cr on its first Wednesday, followed by 9 lakh on Thursday, and 35 lakh on Friday. On Saturday, the movie picked up a little on account of being a weekend, and collected Rs 85 lakh, taking the overall collection of the movie to 15.55 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.
However, it has been noticed that this week has been overall slow. It is not just ‘Emergency’ that saw a fall in the business, but even ‘Azaad’ (which was released on the same day as Kangana Ranaut’s political drama), ‘Game Changer’ (released on Jan 10, 2025) and even ‘Puhspa 2,’ which was ruling the box office since December, saw a significant dip in their collections on Wednesday. Sacnilk’s report shows that ‘Azaad’ managed to have a business of roughly Rs. 0.54 crore, while ‘Game Changer’ made Rs 0.75 cr and ‘Pushpa 2’ minted Rs. 0.50 cr. Thus, when compared to their business, the ‘Queen’ fame star is right now enjoying the throne at the box office.
