Rashtra Kavach Om box office collection Day 1: Aditya Roy Kapur's film records a dull opening

Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjana Sanghi-starrer Rashtra Kavach Om recorded a dull opening at the box office. The film released on July 1.

Aditya Roy Kapur's film, Rashtra Kavach Om released in the theatres on July 1. It faced a clash with R Madhavan's biographical film Rocketry. While we were mighty impressed by Rashta Kavach Om's trailer, the film has failed to leave a mark on its opening day. It recorded a rather dull opening of around 5 per cent on Day 1. This means that the weekend ahead could be a tough one for the film.

Rashtra Kavach Om opened to mixed reviews at the theatres. However, it failed to leave a mark. According to Box Office India, "Rashtra Kavach Om has taken a very dull opening of around 0-5% which means an extremely tough road ahead. The film is an action but the hero does not have a following or face value so the box office is always unlikely to respond. Either there has to be a fan base or the film has to have some brand value and sometimes even a newcomer is a better bet if he has the talent."

"Going by the trailer and look of the film there is an attempt to create a Sunny Deol of the 90's. This would be great for the way the box office is shaping up today but its not going to happen like this and no chance with these type of heroes with no mass appeal. As the film is an action film the opening day is a must and some decent number must go up on the board as the genre does not sustain like other genres. You can hope for improvement on day two but here the film probably has to treble up or at least double up which is a huge ask," the BOI report added.

Rashtra Kavach Om is an action thriller directed by Kapil Verma and produced by Zee Studios and Ahmed Khan. The film stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjana Sanghi, Jackie Shroff, Ashutosh Rana, Prakash Raj and Prachee Shah Paandya. It released in the theatres on July 1. The music of the film is composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee, Amjad Nadeem Aamir, Chirantan Bhatt and Enbee. Lyrics are written by Kumaar, Manoj Yadav and A. M. Turaz. The background score is composed by Amandeep Singh Jolly. In June 2022, the title of the film was changed from Om The Battle Within to Rashtra Kavach OM due to the makers facing trouble with regards to the title rights. In the film, laced with heavy-duty action sequences, Aditya is seen as a para commando.
