102 Not Out & Omerta Box-Office Collection, Day 2: Films Register Steady Growth

102 Not Out and Omerta registered an improved performance on Day 2 of its release. 

To begin with, Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor starrer 102 Not Out saw 57% growth in collection and made Rs 5.53 crore on Day 2. The film is being received very well and of course with talent powerhouses like Big B and Chintu ji, you can’t expect anything less.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, took to twitter and shared the numbers. 

His tweet read, “Strong word of mouth is translating into BO numbers... #102NotOut witnesses an upward trend on Day 2... 57.10% growth... It’s all about maintaining the pace today [Sun] and also on weekdays... Fri 3.52 cr, Sat 5.53 cr. Total: ₹ 9.05 cr. India biz.”

SpotboyE.com has it that Friday night at multiplexes was a housefull for the film 

The word of mouth for the project is strong and the critics are also appreciating it. SpotboyE.com Editor, Vickey Lalwani reviewed the film with 4.5 stars and wrote, “I couldn't decide who is better. Remember those days when Amitabh Bachchan and Dilip Kumar starred in Shakti and the headlines read: Kaun Kisko Kha Gaya? So yeah, you too want to know I am sure the same in this case. But the beauty of these two superstars has always been that they never tried to outdo each other, and this time is no exception. There couldn't have been 102 Not Out if Umesh Shukla hadn't cast either of them. Rishi, who plays the 75-year-old son Babulal Vakharia, leaves you speechless with his expressions. He does less talking and more emoting. On the other hand, the 102-year Amitabh Bachchan who has all the lines that will make you a fan of the writer Saumya Joshi, comes up with a performance which is as sterling as Piku and Paa.” 

Talking about Rajkummar Rao’s thriller Omertà, the film earned, Rs 1.09 crore on Day 2. 

Taran tweeted, “#Omertà witnesses growth on Sat... While the growth is substantial, the overall total remains on the lower side... Sun biz holds the key... Fri 54 lakhs, Sat 1.09 cr. Total: ₹ 1.64 cr. India biz.”

The film has garnered mixed reactions with many appreciating Rajkummar Rao for his power-packed performance. SpotboyE.com Editor, Vickey Lalwani reviewed the film with 4 stars and wrote, “Hansal Mehta has deep-dived into Mukul Dev's story (thanks Mukul) and made a well-researched film, in fact so well-researched that if Omar gets to see it in the Hyderabad Pakistan jail he will fall off from his chair. Over to Hansal's antagonist. He is not the cherry on this cake but the whole and sole of the film. And mind you, not many actors from today's generation could have carried out his role without getting dramatic in at least few scenes. Rajkummar Rao is blessed and hence, special.”
