A Gentleman Box Office Collection Day 1: Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez’s gets a fair opening in India, earns Rs 4.04 cr

Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez starrer A Gentleman's first day collections are out

Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez’s latest offering A Gentleman looked capable of becoming a huge hit with the hype around the lead actors' chemistry and the growing popularity of its songs but unfortunately it all failed to translate into a big opening at the box office. The film released yesterday and has managed to earn only Rs 4.04 crore in the Indian market, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The film faces severe clashes with Aadar Jain – Anya Singh’s Qaidi Band, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (which has received amazing reviews by the film critics), Ajith Kumar’s Vivegam, Amol Gupte’s Sniff, Stephen King’s The Dark Tower and Ryan Reynolds – Samuel L Jackson’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard. A Gentleman had a great scope of earning on Friday but it failed to take advantage of the holiday (Ganesh Chathurthi). However, they still have the weekend with them and Sidharth and Jackie's film might see a growth in numbers over the course of these two days.

“A Gentleman will have more audience because it has got more screens than Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. It should lead the box office this Friday. By Sunday, A Gentleman is expected to earn somewhere between 15 crore,” trade analyst Girish Johar had told Indian Express earlier.

Trade Guru Akshaye Rathi, had shared his prediction with BollywoodLife earlier, “Babumoshai will release in about 500 screens, Qaidi Band will release in about 700 screens and A Gentleman will release in about 1600-1700 screens. It’s hardly a clash between the the three films because all three cater to a different audience and belong to different genres. So the viewers have a variety of options which film to choose from.”
