Box Office Report Day 1: Know how Mardaani 2, Jumanji and The Body fared at Box Office on first day of release

Box Office Report Day 1: Know how Mardaani 2, Jumanji: The Next Level and The Body performed on opening day

This Friday, movie buffs were greeted by the release of three films -- Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 2, Dwayne Johnson-Nick Jonas starrer Jumanji: The Next Level and The Body featuring Emraan Hashmi and Rishi Kapoor. All three belong to completely different genres, and hence, the weekend makes for an interesting prospect to compare the Box Office collections of the three movies.

Rani's action-thriller film started slow and managed to earn only Rs 3.80 crore -- pretty much the same as that of its prequel that was released around five years back. A report stated, "The little plus is that it did not look like reaching this number in the morning so there was a pickup and this should mean good growth on Saturday. The problem is that there is only one week to do business and in that scenario, you need some sort of good starting point."

Taran Adarsh tweeted about the film's collection and wrote, "#Mardaani2 witnesses stronger occupancy post 3 pm shows, after a lukewarm takeoff in morning... Multiplexes are dominating... Riding on super-strong word of mouth + tremendous critical acclaim, the footfalls should multiply on Day 2 and 3... Fri ₹ 3.80 cr. #India biz."

Jumanji closed at Rs 5.05 crore as trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "#Hollywood dominates yet again... #Jumanji: #TheNextLevel embarks on an impressive start... Bigger start than its prequel #Jumanji: #WelcomeToTheJungle... Thu previews 1.15 cr, Fri 5.05 cr. Total: ₹ 6.20 cr Nett BOC. #India biz. All versions. #JumanjiTheNextLevel."

The film is an American fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan.
