Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan begins its journey at the box office on an underwhelming note.
Salman Khan’s much-anticipated film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka hit the big screens on Friday (April 21, 2023). The Farhad Samji directorial had created a lot of buzz among the audience ever since it was announced. However, upon its theatrical release, the family entertainer opened to poor reviews from the critics which reflected on its box office numbers as well.
The Salman Khan-Pooja Hegde starrer failed to beat the opening day box office collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (Rs 57 Crore).
As per a report in Sacnik, Salman Khan-Pooja Hegde starrer, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan minted an estimated box office collection of Rs 13 Crore on its first day of release.
| DAY | BOX OFFICE COLLECTION (IN NETT) |
| 1 | Rs 13 Crore |
After an underwhelming opening at the box office, one hopes that the film witnesses a jump in its business with Saturday being an Eid holiday.
Meanwhile, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#KisiKaBhaiKisiKiJaan is underwhelming on Day 1… More so when one compares it with #SalmanKhan’s #Eid releases from 2010 to 2019… Metros weak, mass pockets better, but not great… Extremely important for biz to jump multi-fold today [#Eid]… Fri ₹ 15.81 cr. #India biz. #KBKJ.”
Earlier in an interview with Outlook India, the film’s leading lady Pooja Hegde had opened up on how she bagged this Salman Khan film.
The publication had quoted the actress as saying, “Basically, when Salman Sir had seen Mohenjo-Daro, he had told me that we will definitely work together on something and we kept saying that yes, we should. Then when I joined the films, Sajid Nadiadwala sir was also on board and I just did ‘Housefull 4’ with him and it just all felt into place and sunk in really beautifully.”
Touted to be a remake of Ajith’s 2014 Tamil film, Veeram, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan stars Salman Khan, Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh Daggubati, Bhumika Chawla, Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill, Palak Tiwari, Siddharth Nigam and Vinali Bhatnagar.
