Mumbai: Looks like the positive critic reviews has not helped the John Abraham , Diana Penty starrer “Parmanu” on the opening day of Box office. The promotion of the movie was so weak that many cinegoers are not even aware of the fact that a movie based on Pokhran is released in theatres. Besides the IPL qualifier 2 match made the life difficult of John Abraham. The story will be same on Sunday as IPL final is to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The movie released on 1935 screens has collected an amount of 4.82 crore. If the collection increases in the weekend, which is quite expected the movie will perform good in the week days. The movie is in desperate need of word of mouth publicity. Earlier Parmanu was set for a release in December, but it delayed due to the Padmavat row. (WD)
