Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Daayra ticket-window earnings day 3 : Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran promised a raw and gritty procedural with Daayra and delivered just that. The Meghna Gulzar movie rolled out in theatres on Friday and was received well by critics. The movie has been steady at the ticket-window so far. Let us see how it performed on Sunday
Adding to this, Daayra ticket-window earnings day 3: Kareena Kapoor in a still from Meghna Gulzar's movie. Daayra ticket-window report The latest update from Sacnilk states that Daayra has collected ₹ 1.75 crore rupees on Sunday, by 10 PM. On Saturday too, the movie had managed to collect ₹ 1.75 crore rupees. This shows that the movie has stayed steady at the ticket-window over the weekend, after collecting ₹ 1 crore rupees on Friday. This brings total India gross collections to ₹ 5.40 crore rupees and total India net collections to ₹ 4.50 crore rupees so far.
Meanwhile, Daayra revolves around Ajooni (Kareena Kapoor Khan), who heads an SIT investigating a police encounter. It involves multiple men accused of gang-raping a young girl and then burning her to death. The encounter was carried out by DCP Raman Kumar (Prithviraj Sukumaran) and his team, who claim they all tried to flee during custody. What Ajooni uncovers during the investigation forms the crux of the story.
Notably, Kareena addressed the contrast between her role in Daayra and her association with Rohit Shetty's cop universe, where police characters are presented in a larger-than-life commercial setting. “Every director operates in a different universe,” she shared, describing Rohit Shetty's cop universe as “larger-than-life” and Meghna's world as “grounded, realistic, and complex.” “As an star, I feel fortunate to straddle both worlds comfortably,” Kareena told news agency ANI.
As per the latest buzz, The HT review of the movie shared, “There is an unmistakably filmi quality to some of the characterisations. Kareena, for instance, brings a distinct screen presence to Ajooni, although some of her lighter expressions can feel slightly at odds with the gravity of the investigation. I also find the choice of her name, Ajooni, interesting in this context. The word appears in the Ik Onkar, “Ajooni saibhang”, broadly referring to one who is beyond birth and death, self-created. Whether there is a deeper intention behind the name or it is simply a character choice, the movie doesn’t spell it out.”
