Arjun Kapoor Starrer "India’s Most Wanted" Isn’t Doing Well At The Box Office

India’s Most Wanted was released on May 24 and is the latest film at the theaters at the moment. It’s an action thriller film directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and featured actor Arjun Kapoor as the lead role.

Inspired by a true story, the film is about five men carrying out a mission to track the most dangerous terrorist of India and catch him alive. India’s Most Wanted also stars Sudev Nair, Rajesh Sharma, Prashanth Alexander, Shantilal Mukherjee, and Devendra Mishra in the main cast.

Although the film was one of the most highly awaited ones, the number it achieved at the ticket window was not so impressive. On the first day of its release, the film collected 2.1 crores, then later it only earned 3.03 crore for the second day and 3.53 crore for the third day although it was weekends. The film has collected in total 8.66 crores until now, a somewhat disappointing number considering that it was shown at over 1000 theaters across India.

India’s Most Wanted did not receive positive reviews from the audience, as well as the critics who watched the film either. According to some reviews, despite having good promotional campaigns, only a few parts of the film was enjoyable. Therefore it was hard to attract the audience to buy the tickets.

Although Arjun Kapoor’s performance was highly appreciated, the film was criticized for having very poor writing and direction, making it get rated for 3.4/10 on IMDb only. According to a review by Raja Sen on Hindustan Times,

Meanwhile, actor Arjun Kapoor will appear in the black comedy film Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar alongside with Parineeti Chopra and will act opposite Kriti Sanon in Panipat, a historical drama film directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar.
