Kunal Kemmu’s directorial Madgaon Express is struggling at the box office and failed to churn out big despite the extended weekend on the occasion of the Holi festival. As per Sacnilk.com, the comedy-drama managed to earn just Rs2.60 crore, taking the total collections to Rs 9.65 crore after four days of theatrical release. 

It is facing tough competition with Randeep Hooda’s directorial Swatantrya Veer Savarkar at the box office, which was also released on the same day, March 22. The box office numbers reveals that both Madgaon Express and Randeep Hooda’s film are going neck-to-neck and their collections are more or less the same. 

Day-wise box office collections:

Day 1 (Friday) – Rs 1.5 crore

Day 2 (Saturday) – Rs 2.75 crore

Day 3 (Sunday) – Rs 2.85 crore

Day 4 (Monday) – Rs 2.60 crore

Total – Rs 9.65 crore

On occupancy front, Madgaon Express had an overall 23.87 per cent occupancy on its Day 4, with a major contribution coming from the evening shows.
