Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom did good business over the weekend. The 4-day weekend really benefitted the film as it saw a jump of Sunday i.e. Raksha Bandhan. As positive word-of-mouth is in the air, we expected the thriller to pass the Monday test with flying colours. In reality, the numbers are less than expected.
After taking a start of 2.75 crores on Thursday, the espionage thriller went on to garner 2.75 crores*, 3.25 crores* and 4.50 crores* on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively. On Monday, the numbers were expected to stay at least at 2 crores as there’s no negativity for the film on social media. However, the numbers have dropped below the 2 crore mark.

Recently, Akshay Kumar addressed how number game has shrunk due to COVID. “If the movie does 30 crore business that means it is equivalent to 100 crores otherwise. If the movie does 50 crores then it equals 150 crores (under pre-pandemic circumstances). So that’s where it stands,” Akshay said while talking to SpotboyE.
