Sarfira Box Office Day 5: Akshay And Radhika's Film Faces Hurdles

Sarfira Box Office Collection Day 5: Akshay Kumar's recent film Sarfira has had a challenging start at the box office. Following an average response for his earlier release, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira also opened to moderate reviews. The film, which stars Radhika Madan, Paresh Rawal, and Seema Biswas alongside Akshay, is a Bollywood remake of the Tamil hit Sorarai Pottru featuring Suriya.

Sarfira is based on G. R. Gopinath's memoir Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey. The story centres on a man determined to create affordable airlines for low-income individuals despite numerous obstacles. Despite its inspiring plot and stellar cast, the movie has struggled at the box office since its release.

The film began its box office journey with an opening day collection of Rs 2.5 crores. It saw an increase over the weekend, earning Rs 4.25 crores on Saturday and Rs 5.25 crores on Sunday. However, there was a significant drop of over 70% on Monday, with collections falling to Rs 1.45 crores.

Interestingly, Sarfira experienced a slight recovery on Tuesday (day 5), collecting Rs 1.87 crores. This brought the total earnings to Rs 15.32 crores. Despite this uptick, Sarfira marks Akshay Kumar's ninth consecutive box office disappointment following films like Atrangi Re and Bachchan Pandey.

Akshay Kumar expressed his gratitude for being part of Sarfira, stating, "This is my 150th film and it is my best film. I am very thankful to Sudha for giving me this film and the opportunity to be in it." He also praised co-star Radhika Madan's performance, saying, "This is the best performance I have ever seen... She has gone through whole classes to learn how to speak Marathi and what to say."
