Samrat Prithviraj Box Office Collection
Against Akshay Kumar starrer's massive reported budget of Rs 200 crore, Rs 66 crore is like a huge loss. The film opened below expectations at the box office and continues to see a downfall.
According to Box Office India, "Samrat Prithviraj had a huge fall in the second week as collections came down 80% from the first week. The film managed to collect 10.75 crore nett plus to take its total to almost 66 crore nett. The business has been better in week two at places and these could even do well in week three but a big film like this cannot survive on some centres doing decent business."

"The film may add another 3-4 crore nett from here for a 70 crore nett or near finish which is a very poor return. The film has done better than the last Akshay Kumar film Bachchhan Pandey but really it had to do the business of Sooryavanshi or close to that to come out with a good result and it is way below that," BOI reported.
