Rashtra Kavach Om box office collection Day 6: Aditya Roy Kapur's film falls flat
India Today
Rashtra Kavach Om released in the theatres on July 1. The Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer is not doing well at the box office numbers.
Aditya Roy Kapur's latest release, Rashtra Kavach Om is not doing well at the box office. The film, which released on July 1, has failed to impress the audience. The action entertainer had a dull start at the box office and managed to show only little growth in its collection over the weekend. It also faced a clash with R Madhavan's biographical film Rocketry. Rashtra Kavach Om recorded a rather dull opening of around 5 per cent on Day 1. On Day 6, it recorded a total of just Rs 7 crore. The film also stars Sanjana Sanghi.
Rashtra Kavach Om opened to mixed reviews at the theatres. On the opening day, the Aditya Roy Kapur starrer minted Rs 1.54 crore. However, the collection remained low over this weekend. On Wednesday, July 6, as well, the film failed to pull the audience to the theatres. Early trade estimates suggest that Rashtra Kavach Om raked in just Rs 7 crore on Day 6. Meanwhile, Rashtra Kavach Om had an overall 6.53 per cent Hindi occupancy on July 6. It had the most number of evening shows with 7.90 per cent. Jaipur recorded the highest number of shows with 10.50 per cent.
Reports suggest that the absence of strong actors and better-known faces was the reason the film failed to work. 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."
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.
