‘Shamitabh’ starts on a dismal note, collects Rs 3.5 cr on Day 1

Reportedly, ‘Shamitabh’ witnessed a decent opening in South India.

Expectations from R. Balki’s ‘Shamitabh’ starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush and newbie Akshara Haasan were sky high. However, reports suggest that the film has opened to a dismal start with just 15% occupancy rate.

Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adrash tweeted the opening day collections, which were a mere Rs 3.5 cr.

Adding to this disappointment is that, the mixed reviews the film has received has made the task of posting decent collections a challenging affair.
