Saif Ali Khan’s last outing Baazaar proved to be a box-office dud. The film was applauded by one and all and even gained positive citric reviews but did not manage to collect the expected moolah. Now the actor is coming up with yet another flick, Laal Kaptaan, which hit the theaters, today. Ever since the trailer hit the web, Twittrerati had been eagerly waiting for the film to release. But looks like it’s not a Good Friday for Saif Ali Khan as the not-so-good reviews have been pouring in.
With the low buzz around it looks like the film is going to suffer at the box-office. To know the first day box-office collection of Sai Ali Khan starrer, we got in touch with the Film Business and Trade Analyst Girish Johar. He told us that the film’s first-day collection will be under one crore. The film may also see the drop in collections as next weekend, is the Diwali weekend and has 3 big releases lined up- Housefull 4, Made In China and Saand Ki Aankh.

SpotboyE Editor Vickey Lalwani rated the film with 2 stars and wrote, “Couldn't fathom what Navdeep Singh wanted to say in this over-indulgent exercise in the ravines. Did Singh want to go out for a holiday on a horse with one of the finest actors we have, Saif Ali Khan? Director of films such as Manorama Six Feet Under and NH10 has lowered his bar with Laal Kaptaan- and how! Saif hasn't, he puts his best foot forward- but Navdeep is always round the corner to drag it back in almost every frame. There are warriors, murders, animals- but nothing even holds attention for a short duration.”
