‘The Buckingham Murders’ Box Office Collection
After ‘Jaane Jaan’ on Netflix and ‘Crew’ last year, Kareena Kapoor returned with her crime thriller earlier this year. Kareena Kapoor starrer ‘The Buckingham Murders’ hits theaters on September 13, in which she plays a British-Indian spy. The opening day earnings of the film were nothing special. However, viewers and critics have praised the film. The film earned Rs 1.15 crore on its first day of release. The film was critically acclaimed upon its release, but was a disappointment in terms of earnings. However, the earnings of the second day increased slightly, but if seen in the context of the weekend, it is very less.
‘The Buckingham Murders’ is the only Bollywood film to release this week, taking on the re-releases of ‘Tumbaad’ and ‘Veer-Zaara’. ‘The Buckingham Murders’ and ‘Tumbad’ released on the same day. Despite the re-release, ‘Tumbad’ has surpassed ‘The Buckingham Murders’ in terms of earnings. ‘Tumbaad’ collected Rs 1.65 crore on the first day, which is Rs 50 lakh more than ‘The Buckingham Murders’. If we look at the second day’s earnings, according to Sacknilk’s report, ‘The Buckingham Murders’ has collected Rs 1.90 crore, while ‘Tumbad’ is said to be between Rs 2.50-2.75 crore.
