Where will Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran stand in John Abraham’s list of top grossing films?

After multiple delays, John Abraham‘s Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran has finally released yesterday. As we reported yesterday, the period historical drama started on a low note but showed substantial growth in the morning and night shows. While we have predicted the opening day collections of the film to be around Rs 5 crore, the business might show an upward trend as the film got a good screen count of 1935 screens.

Talking about the first weekend collections, we are expecting a jump on Saturday and Sunday collections and earn around Rs 20-25 crore at the box office. The film also has the advantage of being a solo Bollywood release, which will surely help Parmanu to remain rock-steady in the weekdays. Parmanu has high chances of beating the lifetime collections of Force 2, Dostana, New York and Madras Cafe to become the sixth highest grosser of John’s career. Though it’ll be interesting to see, whether Hollywood release Solo: A Star Wars Story will affect the business of Parmanu or not.

Parmanu is a historical thriller we didn’t know we need. Watch it for those unsung heroes and take a moment to revel in the glory of their success.” So are you planning to watch the movie this weekend? Share your thoughts in the comments section below…
