Box office: City not ready for John Abraham-Emraan Hashmi's Mumbai Saga

John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi in Mumbai Saga

John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi's latest outing Mumbai Saga, which hit theatres on Friday, minted Rs 8.74-crore during its opening weekend. Indian film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box-office collection of the movie on his Twitter handle.

The film, which also stars Kajal Aggarwal, had a smaller weekend opening than the previous week's release, Roohi. The latter, however, released on a Thursday, thus enjoying a four-day weekend opening.

Set in the 1980s and 1990s, Mumbai Saga is helmed by Sanjay Gupta. Roohi and Mumbai Saga became the major films to release theatrically after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, allowed cinema halls nationwide to operate at full capacity from February 1 with safety protocols in place.

Other upcoming movies include Parineeti Chopra-starrer Saina, based on the life of the ace badminton player Saina Nehwal. The film will be out on March 26. Akshay Kumar's much-awaited actioner Sooryavanshi, directed by Rohit Shetty, is set to arrive in theatres on April 30. It was to release last year.
