'Aiyaary' opens to a dismal start, mints Rs 3.36 crore on Day 1

Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh and Manoj Bajpayee, 'Aiyaary' released on February 16

After winning over the audience with thrillers like 'Naam Shabana', 'Rustom', filmmaker Neeraj Pandey is back with yet another suspense thriller which released on February 16. Unfortunately, the film received scathing reviews and had a rather dismal start with collections of only Rs 3.36 crores on Day 1.

Sharing the collections of Day 1, film critic and trade analyst wrote on Twitter, "#Aiyaary has a DULL Day 1... Opening day biz is lower than Sidharth Malhotra’s last two films: #AGentleman [₹ 4.04 cr] and #Ittefaq [₹ 4.05 cr]… Evening/night shows were slightly better... Sat and Sun biz is extremely crucial... Fri ₹ 3.36 cr. India biz."

Here's the tweet:
