“Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan”, starring Salman Khan, Venkatesh and Pooja Hegde along with a huge ensemble cast dropped Friday, grossing Rs 14 crore on day one of its release at the domestic box office and went on to earn Rs 24 crore on day two.
Despite Khan's track record of delivering Eid hits, this one doesn't seem to have struck a chord with the audience. After slowing down on Tuesday, the Farhad Samji directorial further fell to below Rs 5 crore on Wednesday. It is slowly moving closer to the Rs 100 crore mark.
The veteran actor's previous Eid releases usually scored big on the first day, “Bharat” earning Rs 41 crore, while “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” raked in around Rs 26 crore on opening day.
“Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan” has several supporting actors among the ensemble cast including Jagapathi Babu, Jassi Gill, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Shehnaaz Gill, Vijender Singh and Palak Tiwari. Salman's “Tere Naam” co-star Bhumika Chawla has a pivotal role in the film and his “Maine Pyar Kiya” co-star Bhagyashree also has a cameo. Ram Charan and Abdu Rozik also have guest appearances in the film.
“Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has several songs like “Naiyo Lagda”, “Billi Billi”, “Jee Rahe The Hum (Falling in Love)”, “Bathukamma”, “Yentamma”, “O Balle Balle” and “Lets Dance Chotu Motu”. “Bathukamma” is entirely a Telugu song while “Yentamma” also has Telugu lyrics. The film received mixed to negative reviews.
Salman will next be seen reprising his character in “Tiger 3”, directed by Maneesh Sharma. The film will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu this Diwali and will also star Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.
