‘Pataakha’ Box Office: Sanya-Radhika Film off to a Slow Start

Will the Vishal Bhardwaj film resonate with the audience?

Starring Dangal’s Sanya Malhotra and television actor Radhika Madan, Pataakha had a lukewarm start at the box office.

The Vishal Bhardwaj film raked in Rs 90 lakh on day 1. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, business will have to grow manifold to make a good impression on the cash registers.

#Pataakha Fri ₹ 90 lakhs [875 screens]. India biz... Had a lukewarm start at the start of Day 1 and should grow over the weekend... However, the growth has to be multi-fold since the starting point has been extremely low.

Pataakha tells the tale of two sisters who can’t stand the sight of one another, a metaphor for India and Pakistan’s relationship. The film also stars Varun Grover and Vijay Raaz.
