Commencing its box office journey with Rs 1.5 crore on Friday, the film experienced a remarkable 83 per cent growth on Saturday, with expectations of further increase on Sunday and Monday, bolstered by the Holi festival.
Additionally, the film will benefit from the #Buy1Get1 offer on Sunday and Monday, presenting a crucial test of its audience appeal.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh commented on this, stating, “#MadgaonExpress catches speed, biz jumps on Day 2 [+66.87%]… #Mumbai continues to dominate and drive its biz… Sure, the #Buy1Get1 ticket offer did attract moviegoers on Day 1 and 2, but the good news is that it is being appreciated by its target audience… Fri 1.63 cr, Sat 2.72 cr. Total: ₹ 4.35 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
He added, “The real test for #MadgaonExpress begins today… There’s no #Buy1Get1 offer today [Sun] and tomorrow [Mon; #Holi], so it will be interesting to see the quantum of growth on these two days.”
