Box Office: Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi and Anant Joshi starrer Ajey record dull opening weekends, heading for disastrous finish
Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi netted just Rs 65 lakh in three days, remaining under Yogi Adityanath’s biographical drama, Ajey: The Untold Story Of A Yogi. Details Inside.
Besides Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi starrer Jolly LLB 3, two low-budget movies- Nishaanchi and Ajey: The Untold Story Of A Yogi, also saw the day of the light on September 19. While the former is directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, the latter is helmed by Ravindra Gautam and is a biography of Uttar Pradesh's present Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath. Here's a look at the opening weekend box office performances of both the releases.
Nishaanchi collects Rs 65 lakh in opening weekend, needs miraculous spike to reach a respectable figure
Starring Aishvary Thackeray and Vedika Pinto in the lead roles, along with Kumud Mishra, Monika Panwar, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Nishaanchi recorded a dismal opening weekend. Debuted with dull Rs 15 lakh, the movie witnessed a nominal jump on Saturday and collected Rs 25 lakh. It remained flat on Sunday and didn't show any signs of growth. The opening weekend of Nishaanchi wrapped at a low Rs 65 lakh net only.
One must note that this lowkey business came when the makers activated Buy-One-Get-One offers.
Day-wise box office collection of Nishaanchi:
| Day | Box Office |
| 1 | Rs 15 lakh |
| 2 | Rs 25 lakh |
| 3 | Rs 25 lakh (est.) |

Ajey: The Untold Story Of A Yogi, stars Anant Joshi in the lead role, along with Paresh Rawal and Dinesh Lal Yadav. The biographical drama opened with low Rs 20 lakh, followed by Rs 30 lakh on Day 2 and Rs 35 lakh on Day 3.
