Kunal Kemmu‘s directorial debut ‘Madgaon Express‘ released on Friday and one saw a family comedy film in theatres after a while. The trailer had also received a good response, though the film seems to be having a dull start. The film is also a small film, and hence, a big opening was not even expected out of it.
On its first day, as per early estimates, ‘Madgaon Express’ has made Rs 1.50 crore as per Sacnilk. It has a slight edge over ‘Svatantrya Veer Savarkar’ which made Rs 1.05 crore. Though, the trade considers it as a low start for a movie as for a film like this which is in the comedy and entertainment genre, more crowd is expected. It is expected to do well in Maharashtra and Gujarat, though, it doesn’t have a chance in territories like Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar.
Post pandemic, small movies like this are not really doing well in theatres. Taking that into consideration, this is still a decent start as per trade and one can only hope that through positive word of mouth, ‘Madgaon Express’ manages to get more footfalls in the theatres over Saturday and Sunday. The film is facing competition at the moment, from Sidharth Malhotra‘s ‘Yodha’ which released last week and is holding up decently well (if not extra-ordinarily).
‘Madgaon Express’ stars Divyenndu, Avinash Tiwary, Pratik Gandhi, Chhaya Kadam, Upendra Limaye and Nora Fatehi.
