Puri Jagannath, who looked beaming with confidence prior to Bbuddah's release with all the glowing reviews and superb feedback, is now left in huge shock! Puri expected this film to take an earth shattering start at the box office. But sadly that didn't happen.
Bbuddah opened pretty badly especially in the Northern circuit. The opening collections were around 15 to 20 percent on its first day. Opening day collections in the Southern circuit were slightly better. First day nett figure is just above one crore(Rs 1.65 cr to Rs 1.70 cr) all over India. This is a terrible turnout for the film with so much hype surrounding it.
On the other hand Delhi Belly took a rocking start beating Bbuddah hands down. Although the film was targeted at selected audience, it collected around 7 crore nett on first day. Bbuddah will suffer at the box office if it doesn't pick up in the next few days. However, 75 percent of the budget plus production cost was recovered prior to the release. But what ultimately counts is the box office performance. Puri who is having high hopes on this film is shattered with this reception.
