Shamshera box office collection Day 3: Ranbir Kapoor film has a miserable first weekend

Ranbir Kapoor's Shamshera is not doing great business at the box office. With poor reviews and a muted fan reaction, Shamshera is struggling at the theatres.

Ranbir Kapoor's Shamshera has failed to impress the audience. The film which marks Ranbir's return to cinema after 3 years, has done average business during its first weekend. While the expectations were high, it looks like the audience are not very happy with the action-thriller.

Shamshera embarked on its journey with an opening of Rs 10.25 crore on Day 1. The opening is way lower than what the industry expected out of it. While the film was expected to take off during the weekend, looks like the collection remained low despite good word of mouth. In 2 days, Ranbir's film has managed to earn a mere Rs 20 crore. According to early estimates the film's Sunday earning has also not been great.

The storyline of Shamshera follows Ranbir Kapoor's character being pitted against Sanjay Dutt. The latter plays the role of an evil, merciless and cold-hearted man named Shuddh Singh. The film is set in the 1800 fictitious city of Kaza, where a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved and tortured by a ruthless authoritarian general Shuddh Singh. The story focusses on a slave who becomes a leader and then a legend for his tribe. He relentlessly fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. Shamshera also stars Ronit Roy, Saurabh Shukla and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles.
