Nawazuddin starrer Raman Raghav 2.0 gets slow start at box office

Anurag Kashyap’s directorial ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’ starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vicky Kaushal, which released on Friday, had a slow start at the box office. The movie managed to mint only Rs. 1.20 crore on its opening day.

The movie, which is loosely inspired by notorious psychopath Raman Raghav who embarked on a murderous killing spree in Mumbai during the mid-1960s, was released in 770 screens across India.

The movie released with six other films, including ‘Junooniyat’ and Hollywood biggie ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’. Both these films have not earned favourable reviews, however the critics have lauded ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’ for being a taut thriller with impactful performances by not just Nawazuddin, but also Vicky Kaushal.

Distributed by Reliance Entertainment, the film is produced by Phantom Films, co-owned by Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena.
