Lal Salaam box office Day 6: Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s film continues its underwhelming run, yet to hit Rs 15 crore mark

With music from AR Rahman, Lal Salaam was released with a lot of expectations, but it opened to mixed reception. On the first day, the film collected about Rs 3.55 crore. While it managed to rake in Rs 3 crore consistently over the weekend, since Monday, the collections have dropped to Rs 1 crore. Throughout the weekdays, the film has managed to only collect Rs 1 crore every day, which is a bleak number for a film featuring Rajinikanth.

Despite its thematic focus on religious harmony, Lal Salaam has struggled to resonate with audiences. Produced by Lyca Productions, the film boasts a diverse ensemble cast featuring Vishnu Vishal, Vikranth, Livingston, Senthil, Jeevitha, KS Ravikumar, Thambi Ramaiah, and Vivek Prasanna in supporting roles. Additionally, cricket legend Kapil Dev made a cameo appearance.

With Vishnu Rangasamy co-writing the screenplay with Aishwarya, AR Rahman composing the music, and Pravin Baaskar editing, Lal Salaam is supported by a talented technical team. However, its tepid performance at the box office has added to the ongoing woes of Tamil cinema, which has been having a bad year till now. Except for Captain Miller and Ayalaan, there hasn’t been a decent hit in the industry yet. A lot of hopes were pinned on Lal Salaam, but it has all been in vain.
