The box office business of Kalank may further get affected due to the release of Hollywood superhero flick- Avengers: Endgame.
Kalank starring Alia Bhatt Varun Dhawan Madhuri Dixit Sanjay Dutt Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha has earned Rs 66.03 crore in just five days of its release. The film's release on April 17 which was a holiday and the extended weekend helped it cross the Rs 50-crore mark. However despite all these factors the movie seems to have failed to impress the audience.
On its opening day Kalank collected Rs 21.60 crore the highest opening day collection for any Bollywood film released in 2019. But the film's collection has dropped rapidly since then. It collected Rs 11.45 crore on Day 2 while on the third day the collection numbers touched Rs 11.6 crore. The numbers slumped further on Saturday to Rs 9.75 crore and on Sunday the film collected Rs 11.63 crore taking the total to Rs 66.03 crore.
According to movie critic and trade analyst the box office buisness of Kalank may further get affected due to the release of Hollywood superhero flick- Avengers: Endgame. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo's Avengers: Endgame is set to release on April 26 Friday.
