Baazaar, Kaashi Box-Office Collection, Day 1: Saif Ali Khan’s Stock Doesn't Open Well, While Sharman Joshi’s Suspense Has Intrigued Hardly Any
It was not a very good Friday for Saif Ali Khan Chitrangda Singh, Radhika Apte and Rohan Mehra's starrer Baazaar and Sharman Joshi and Aishwarya Devan starrer Kaashi
After playing his part well in the web series Sacred
Games, Saif Ali Khan returned to silver screen with Gauravv K Chawla’s Baazaar
co-starring Chitrangda Singh, Radhika Apte and Vinod Mehra’s son Rohan. On the
other hand, Sharman Joshi delivered a suspense thriller, Kaashi In Search Of
Ganga, co-starring South actress Aishwarya Devan. But looks like, it was not a
fantastic Friday for both movies. According to Taran Adarsh’s tweet, Saif
starrer has collected only Rs 3.07 Cr, while Kaashi pocketted just Rs 20
lakh.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the numbers of Baazaar
and wrote, “#Baazaar had an extremely poor start in the morning shows, but
picked up pace during the course of the day... Has fared much better than the
recent Saif Ali Khan starrers... Mumbai circuit is driving the biz... Fri ₹
3.07 cr. India biz.”

Baazaar is a good film. SpotboyE.com Editor Vickey
Lalwani rated Baazaar with 3 stars and wrote, “First things first. Fresh from
the web series Sacred Games where he played his part well, Saif Ali Khan is
finally shining again on the big screen. The Nawab of Pataudi is so good that
he erases all the bad memories you have of his past few years when the
filmmakers did not do justice to his skills. Rohan Mehra does his late father
Vinod Mehra proud. What a break! And what a performance! The film begins and
ends with this young man. Baazaar is a complicated (good for you if you know
the intricacies of how Dalal Street functions) film of the egos of these two
males in the big bad world of stocks, but yet extremely entertaining with a lot
of dialogue-baazi.”
While rating Kaashi In Search Of Ganga, he rated the film
as 1.5 stars and wrote, “There's too much happening in the town called Kaashi
and the man called Kaashi. But yet the pace of the film is painstaikingly slow.
And so beyond a point you are not interested in who's the mastermind behind the
disappearance of Sharman Joshi's (Kaashi) sister. And so, Kaashi can be summed
up as a thriller which loosens up so much (after the interval, to be precise)
that you are just waiting for it to end. That says it all, doesn't it?"
Let's see what Day 2 holds for both movies. We shall
bring you the update tomorrow.
