Brahmastra box office day 2 collection: Ranbir Kapoor starrer makes Rs 37 crore; Fans praise VFX and performance

New Delhi: Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna has managed to do well at the box office despite mixed reviews from the audience.

It is said to have collected around Rs 3.5-4 crore nett in other languages on Saturday.

Besides, the movie has also recorded historic numbers overseas, especially in US and Canada. It has crossed the $3 million mark on day one including paid previews. A collection of around $9-10 million is predicted for the weekend.
