Tejas box office collection day 7: Kangana Ranaut’s patriotic drama crashes on first Friday, earns Rs 40 lakh

Keeping aside her Chandramukhi 2, Tejas is Kangana’s fifth flop since Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019). Her films Judgementall Hai Kya (2019), Panga (2020), Thalaivii (2021), Dhaakad (2022) have not performed well at the box office. However, the actor’s upcoming directorial Emergency, which she has also acted in and produced, was scheduled to release on November 24, but has now been postponed. Chandramukhi 2’s total earnings wrapped under Rs 40.5 crore.

Reacting to the low footfall for Tejas, Kangaan had taken to her social media platforms to request the audiences to watch the film in theatres. She said, “Even before Covid, theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically post Covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy with family and friends or else they (theatres) won’t be able to survive. Thanks.”
