Haunted 3D leads at box office with Rs 13.35 cr; Main Vaapas Aaunga, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata struggle
Manoj Bajpayee's Governor has been struggling the most to perform at the box office compared to Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past, Main Vaapas Aaunga, and Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata.
Last Friday, a buffet of films was served to the audience. With four releases, not only did the screen share get divided, but too many choices also left the audience torn about which films to watch. Kangana Ranaut’s Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga, Vikram Bhatt’s Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past, and Manoj Bajpayee’s Governor released on 12th June. However, it is Mimoh Chakraborty starrer Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past which seems to be emerging as the winner with its box office run. According to a report by Sacnilk, on day 5, the film collected another Rs 2 crore across 4,332 shows, taking its total net collection to Rs 13.35 crores and total gross collection to Rs 15.67 crores.
