Ajay Devgn’s new film Baadshaho is doing a great job at the box office counters. Baadshaho’s opening day collections were recorded to be Rs. 12.03 crore and the movie has upped its collection figures by over double the amount on Saturday. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported that the Milan Luthria-directed heist drama has made Rs. 15.60 crore on Saturday, making the total amount shoot up to Rs. 27.63 crore. “Baadshaho has a Rocking Saturday,” he tweeted. It appears that the prediction made by Mr Adarsh is turning out to be true: “Baadshaho starts on a solid note. Biz should only grow stronger on Sat and Sun,” is what Mr Adarsh had tweeted earlier.

Badshaaho is set against the 1975 Emergency and also features names like Ileana D’Cruz, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta, Sanjay Mishra and Vidyut Jammwal on its cast while Sunny Leone makes a special appearance in a song.
Baadshaho opened to middling reviews on Friday. In his review Saibal Chatterjee said: “Baadshaho is the sort of film that banks solely on style. The story is strictly bare-bones, a glaring fact that is sought to be disguised through the means of gratuitous chase scenes and meaningless banter.” Baadshaho released along with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, which made some Rs. 2 crores on its opening day. “Baadshaho has no climax worth the name. It ends. Just like that. Seriously,” Mr Chatterjee added.
Baadshaho is the director’s fourth collaboration with Ajay Devgn, after movies like Kachche Dhaage, Chori Chori and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai.
