Samrat Prithviraj Box Office Collection Day 4
According to Box Office India, "Samrat Prithviraj has seen a drop in collections on day four as it collects around the 5 crore nett which is over 50% down from the first day. There is a better hold in circuits where it was doing better over the weekend but other places are seeing falls in the 55-60% range. It could have decent final figures in the likes of Rajasthan and CI but it wont change the overall picture."
