This Friday two Bollywood films were released- India’s Most Wanted and PM Narendra Modi biopic. India’s Most Wanted starring Arjun Kapoor in the lead and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta recorded a decent start at the box office. The film opened at Rs 2.10 crores on Friday. It struggled during the day but eventually picked up a little towards the fag end of the evening.
India’s Most Wanted has got a fair review and Arjun’s performance has been appreciated by the critics. Hopefully, the film will pick up and garner a good number at the box office in the coming days.

Some stories *should* be told... #IndiasMostWanted may not be a flawless film, but it has its moments... Director Rajkumar Gupta keeps you on the edge for most parts, although the writing could be tighter... Arjun Kapoor packs in a sincere performance.

On the other hand, Vivek Oberoi starrer PM Narendra Modi biopic that was supposed to release in April was banned by the Election Commission as the organization felt the film obstructs ‘the level playing ground’ of the parties during election campaigning and subsequent elections. Now, the film finally released yesterday and apparently has taken a decent start.
PM Narendra Modi biopic garnered Rs 2.88 crore on Day 1 and as the day progressed the film witnessed better occupancy. The film is expected to do good business at the box office. The film is based on the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
#PMNarendraModi had a lukewarm start in the morning, but picked up speed as Day 1 progressed... Evening shows witnessed better occupancy... Fri 2.88 cr. India biz.

Simple storytelling. Captivating drama [second hour]. Strong emotions [mother-son]. Winsome portrayal by Vivek Anand Oberoi... Omung Kumar encompasses crucial events from #Modi ji’s life [till 2014] in #PMNarendraModi... A treat for #PMModi fans!
