After back-to-back successful movies, Navra Maza Navsacha 2 and Dharmaveer 2, one other Marathi film, Yek Number, was released yesterday. Backed by well-known credentials, the film stars Dhairya Gholap, Sayli Patil, and Tejaswini Pandit in key roles. It has been within the limelight on account of its trailer and overall concept. Unfortunately, it failed to go away any mark on the Indian box office on its day 1. Keep reading for an in depth collection report!
The film is directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, who has previously helmed a successful film like Ventilator. It was released in theatres yesterday and is generally running in Maharashtra. To date, it has received mixed reviews from critics, and even the word-of-mouth among the many audience is mixed. While praise is coming in for the direction, performances and the story, the predictable and not-so-engaging first half is being criticised.
Yek Number had an honest pre-release buzz on account of its concept revolving around Raj Thackeray. Nonetheless, by way of footfalls on the Indian box office, the film didn’t register a very good start and earned just dismal numbers. It’s learned that the film has earned 0.20 crore* or 20 lakh* on day 1. It’s an underwhelming start; today, it must aim to earn 70 lakh or more.
Running mainly across Maharashtra, Yek Number has secured a very good showcasing for itself because it is backed by Zee Studios. It’s jointly produced by Tejaswini Pandit and Warda Nadiadwala. The music consists by Ajay Atul.
Yek Number is claimed to hold a very good enough amount as its budget. While the precise number will not be known, it’s learned that the film is mounted at a price of 10 crores or more. With such a slow start, it’ll be interesting to see if it recovers its cost.
