Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi led Jolly LLB 3 to the box office lead this weekend, leaving behind the competition. In comparison, the Anurag Kashya crime drama, released on the same day, sits at a total first weekend collection of Rs. 90 lakh (approx.), according to numbers shared by Sacnilk. Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi raked in Rs. 1.18 crore at the end of its first weekend.
The star power of Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, along with the brand value of Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB movie series, overshadowed the other releases in every aspect. Despite Kashyap claiming that Nishaanchi will generate better box office figures, his latest attempt at theatres has proved to be a disaster both in terms of release schedule and its failure to sell tickets. Ajey, on the other hand, showed better numbers despite lacking the marketing push of Nishaanchi.
