It could be stated as one of the biggest debacles in Shahid Kapoor’s career, despite clocking all-time highest opening for him. Backed by popular music and star cast, the movie opened with 13.10 crores at the ticket windows.
Though a multi-starrer, Shahid Kapoor’s character had an important part to play in the movie. Udta Punjab landed in a controversy with the censor board, which actually was a blessing in disguise for the movie. It recorded the start of 10.05 crores on opening day.
R…Rajkumar
Directed by Prabhudheva, R…Rajkumar is the third highest opener for Shahid Kapoor. The movie benefitted from chartbuster music and popular one-liners. It accumulated 9.50crores on opening day.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Batti Gul Meter Chalu was a social drama based on the issue of inflated electricity bills. Right from the start, the movie stayed low in pre-release buzz, which caused it to take a slow start at the box office. The movie took a start of 6.76 crores on opening day.
Mausam
Mausam is still amongst Shahid Kapoor top openers of all time, which was released way back in 2011. Featuring Sonam Kapoor in a lead, the movie scored an opening of 6.75 crores.
