Ittefaq Box-Office, Day 2: Word-Of-Mouth UPLIFTS Collection To Rs 5.50 Crore

Sonakshi Sinha, Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna’s mystery thriller, Ittefaq has collected Rs 5.50 crore on day 2 of its release. The film’s collections were rather average on the first day -- Rs 4.05 crore. However, the film showed an upward trend on the second day of its release. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the collections of the project thus far and wrote, “#Ittefaq shows an UPWARD TREND on Sat... 35.80% growth... Sun should be stronger... Fri 4.05 cr, Sat 5.50 cr. Total: ₹ 9.55 cr. India biz (sic).”

Positive word of mouth from critics and audience alike seem to have worked in favour of the film. The total collection of Ittefaq (till now) stands at Rs 9.55 crore.

SpotboyE.com’s Editor Vickey Lalwani rated the film with 3 stars and wrote that the plot keeps you at the edge of the seat throughout. Praising the star cast he said that Akshaye Khanna, Sidharth Malhotra, and Sonakshi Sinha pull off their respective roles rather well.

However, according to him, the plot could have been more racy and pacy, “The film could have been better and there is room for improvisation. But I'll go with THREE- one for decent performances by Sonakshi and Sidharth, one for B Rji's 'upcoming' grandson, and one for Akshaye who if you haven't gauged by now, is a scene-stealer.”

Directed by Abhay Chopra and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Dharma Productions, the film is inspired from the 1969 film by the same name, directed by Yash Chopra, which starred Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Iftekhar. The makers of the film had decided to not promote the film anywhere. But before the release they promoted it on digital media by starting a campaign against spoilers. Many Bollywood actors got together to request the public to not disclose the secret after watching movie and not encourage spoilers.

Lets’ wait and watch to see what Sunday has in store for the film.
