Akaal, starring Gippy Grewal, Gurpreet Ghuggi, and Nimrat Khaira in key roles, was released in theatres yesterday.

Reception of the film
The Punjabi magnum opus was released yesterday. It opened to mostly positive reviews from critics, describing it as a perfect ode to Khalsa warriors. Even initial word-of-mouth has been favorable, which boosted the overall walk-ins through evening and night shows. As a result, the biggie has come up with a decent score.
Akaal is off to a decent start!
Akaal started with an average occupancy of 8%. In the afternoon shows, it went up to 14%, and in the evening shows, it was around 13%. Surprisingly, the night shows didn’t show any jump, and the occupancy remained at 13%. So, it could be seen that the film had a scope to score big but couldn’t enjoy its full potential. Still, a decent 85 lakh net came in at the Indian box office on day 1, as per Sacnilk.
