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.

However despite all these factors the movie seems to have failed to impress the audience.

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.
