New Delhi: Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has been making headlines across the world since its official creators revealed the trailer. The film, starring Salman Khan and Pooja Hegde, has had a slow start at the box office. Salman’s comeback to the big screen as the main character after more than three years heralds the premiere of the family entertainer on April 21. And, as an Eid release, KKBKKJ was anticipated to do far better than it possesses.
Initial predictions suggest that the Salman Khan-starrer would earn Rs 25 crore on Day 2. The highly anticipated picture had a considerable increase following day one.
#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 pic.twitter.com/tqvpJbmRrR
