“Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” BO, Day 2: Ranbir’s film records dip in earnings, after impressive start

New Delhi: Ranbir Kapoor & Shraddha Kapoor starrer ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’ recorded impressive start with the Box office collections on Day 1, however, the movie failed to sustain the momentum.

The movie hogged enough limelight, on back of Ranbir’s lover boy image & also director Luv Ranjan’s unconventional takes on romantic twists & turns of life.

The highly anticipated rom-com lived upto expectations of filmmakers on back of rocking start in initial days, however, the dip in earnings has come as a setback for Hindi film industry as well. In recent times, 3 big blockbuster movies including Shehzada & Selfiee failed to draw large crowd to the theatres despite festive season of Holi.

Luv Ranjan directorial reportedly minted Rs 10 crore on Day 2, as per trends, reported by entertainment portals.
