The IPL final might have some effect on the collection on Sunday, but it should not be very significant considering the fact that moviegoers have heaped praises on the film. ‘Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran’ is based on the nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army at Pokhran in 1998. The film, directed by Abhishek Sharma and written by Saiwyn Quadras, Sanyuktha Chawla Sheikh and Abhishek Sharma, also stars Boman Irani playing a crucial part.
The business of the film is as follows:
Friday (Day 1): ₹ 4.82 cr
Saturday (Day 2): ₹ 7.64 cr
Total: ₹ 12.46 cr
