Ruslaan’s box office debut on its first day didn’t quite match the initial excitement surrounding Hindi cinema, where various genres thrived and big names like Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar contributed to its resurgence. Even after the success of films like Fighter, the industry seems to be facing challenges. Aayush Sharma’s action spy thriller, Ruslaan, released amidst this scenario, aiming to captivate audiences with its promising trailer and star-studded cast, including Jagapathi Babu. However, despite expectations, the film struggled to draw a significant audience on its opening day.
Ruslaan Box Office Collections
According to reports from Sacnilk, Ruslaan earned a mere Rs 60 lakh at the box office on Friday, marking a slow start for a movie of its genre. Despite a 6.42 percent occupancy in Hindi on its release day, the film fell short of making a substantial impact. With a reported budget of Rs 25 crores, the film’s modest earnings on its first day indicate a challenging trajectory ahead. Its success in the coming days, especially during the crucial first weekend, will determine its potential to recover costs and find favor with audiences.
Plot and Cast
Contrary to expectations fueled by its action-packed trailer and star appeal, Ruslaan’s lackluster performance on its debut day was unexpected. Despite having a formula seemingly designed to attract audiences. The film struggled to make a significant impact, as reflected in the latest figures circulating online. This marks a departure for Aayush Sharma from his previous projects under the Salman Khan Films banner. Such as Love Yatri and Antim: The Final Truth, which enjoyed the backing of Salman Khan’s production house.
Directed by Karan Lalit Bhutani, Ruslaan features Aayush Sharma, Jagapathi Babu, and Sushrii Mishraa in prominent roles. Supported by Vidya Malvade, Nawab Shah, and an ensemble cast. The story line follows a young boy who, saved from an encounter in which his terrorist father is killed. He grows up with a sense of patriotism and a desire to serve his country. His ambition leads him to aspire to join R&AW and become an asset to the agency. Tasked with a critical mission, he must thwart the plans of neighboring countries intent on undermining his homeland’s security and stability.
