With the starting of the September, Bollywood presented the treat of two films, namely, ' Zanjeer ' and ' Shuddh Desi Romance ' to the audience. Also, this Friday marked the debut of two actors, Ram Charan Teja and Vaani Kapoor in B-Town, through their respective films.
Taking in note of the remake of 1973's classic cult ' Zanjeer ', Ram Charan Teja 's ' Zanjeer ' failed to create the niche, followed by poor box-office collection. The movie indeed had the strong star cast comprising of Ram Charan Teja , Priyanka Chopra , Sanjay Dutt , Prakash Raj , Mahi Gill , Atul Kulkarni and the dashing director Apoorva Lakhia , who had earlier delivered hits in action genre. In spite of all the plus points, the ' Zanjeer ' remake spunk at the box-office.
According to the reports, ' Zanjeer ' opened with inferior occupancy of 20-25% all over India at the box-office. Also, the figures didn't rise up till the first day's last show. Made out of big-budget, it made below than average business of 3.5-4 Cr at the box-office. With such a poor opening collection, it is estimated that ' Zanjeer ' will have to strive hard in the coming days.
While the rival release, ' Shuddh Desi Romance ' was in full swing since morning and the occupancy was increasing after one show to another. Even in UP, where people prefer action oriented films, they picked up ' Shuddh Desi Romance ' over ' Zanjeer '.
