Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt are coming together for a film after decades with Kalank. Getting a solo release, let's see how Kalank will fare on the first day of its release.
Talking about the box office collection, Kalank is expected to rake in around Rs 15 crore at the box office on its opening day. Citing the fact that kalank is releasing on a working Wednesday, the numbers might be affected during the first half of the day. The box office numbers are expected to rise over the weekend. The film will easily move past the Rs 100 crore mark in its week 1. However, the business will stand affected after April 26, post the release of Avengers: Endgame. Most of the Indians are Marvel fans and Endgame being the last part of the franchise, the turnout is going to be historical.
