Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW) starring John Abraham and Mouni Roy minted Rs 6 crore at the box office on its first day's release.
Set in the tumultuous period of 1968-71, RAW is based on true events which had an impact on the future of three countries- India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It was a period, which saw the subcontinent's most decisive battle marking the birth of Bangladesh.
In just 13 days the Pakistan army surrenders unconditionally to the Indian army, making the 1971 war one of the shortest in history. India's intelligence agencies, especially RAW, played a very crucial part in this conflict, which made every Indian action precise, impactful and deadly.
After a slow start, John Abraham's Romeo Akbar Walter picked up on its first Saturday. According to reports, the film jumped around 30% on its second day.
