The Ansh Duggal‑led film ‘Nakhrewaalii’ recorded a modest box‑office start on its opening day, with industry watchers hopeful of stronger earnings over the weekend.
Mumbai – The new drama ‘Nakhrewaalii’, starring Ansh Duggal, opened to a lukewarm response on its first day of release, according to figures reported by NDTV Profit. While the film managed to secure a presence across major multiplexes, the opening collections were described as modest, falling short of the high expectations set by its promotional campaign.
Trade analysts noted that the initial footfall suggests a cautious audience reception, but they also highlighted the potential for a weekend surge as word‑of‑mouth spreads. The film’s urban-centric storyline and star power are expected to attract more viewers during the Saturday‑Sunday window.
Producers remain optimistic, pointing to the weekend as a critical period for recouping early losses and achieving a sustainable box‑office trajectory. The next few days will be crucial in determining whether ‘Nakhrewaalii’ can convert its modest start into a profitable run.
The film’s distribution network includes a wide range of screens in tier‑1 and tier‑2 cities, and promotional activities continue across social media platforms, aiming to boost audience interest ahead of the weekend.
If the weekend performance aligns with analyst forecasts, ‘Nakhrewaalii’ could see a notable uplift in earnings, potentially stabilising its position in a competitive release calendar.
