“#Manikarnika crosses ₹ 50 cr… Despite positive feedback, the biz is clearly divided: Some circuits holding well, some aren’t… Weekend 2 crucial… Fri 8.75 cr, Sat 18.10 cr, Sun 15.70 cr, Mon 5.10 cr, Tue 4.75 cr. Total: ₹ 52.40 cr.  India biz. #Hindi #Tamil #Telugu,” he tweeted.

‘Manikarnika’ garnered Rs. 8.75 crores on the first day while it earned Rs. 18.10 crore on Saturday, and went on to collect Rs 15.70 crores on Sunday. The film minted Rs. 5.10 crores on Monday and Rs. 4.75 crores on Tuesday, paving its way into the Rs. 50 crore club.

However, its collection marked a dip on Monday and Tuesday as contrasted to the weekend.

The film will face fierce competition during the forthcoming weeks as the much-in-buzz ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ is set to drop this Friday.

As per Bollywood news, Kangana has torn her own record as her earlier blockbuster ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ had collected Rs 37.50 crores over its first weekend. At the time of its release, it was the biggest first-weekend collections for a female-centric film.

‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ is a period drama relied on the life and battles of Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi and her war against the British East India Company, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
