Srikanth box office collection day 1: Rajkummar Rao-starrer opens better than Madgaon Express, Laapataa Ladies; earns Rs 2.25 cr

The film is the biopic of Srikanth Bolla, the founder of Bollant Industries, and is directed by Tushar Hiranandani. Srikanth’s story is especially noteworthy as he overcame all odds despite being visually challenged.

In comparison to recent releases like Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi starrer Do Aur Do Pyaar and Dibaker Banerjee’s LSD2, the film has had a strong start at the box office. While Do Aur Do Pyaar could only make Rs 50 lakh on first day, LSD 2 started its box office journey with just Rs 15 lakh. Srikanth has also performed better than Rao’s last few releases. His last theatrical release Bheed made Rs 40 lakh on the first day and HIT: The First Case made Rs 1.35 crore, as per Bollywood Hungama.

Srikanth, backed by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar of T-Series, also stars Jyothika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar in pivotal roles.
