The box office clash between Biker and Raakaasa is producing unexpected results in North America, as the latter is getting significantly more response than the former. Surprisingly, Biker, which was supposed to have an upper hand, is trailing in the clash, including in the crucial North America market.
North America Day 1 Collections
| Movie | Day 1 Collections (Including Premieres) |
|---|---|
| Raakaasa | $134K |
| Biker | $68K |
Even though Biker received better positive word of mouth and reviews, along with a bigger budget and starcast, it managed only 50% of Raakaasa’s collections, which is a disappointing outcome for the sports drama.
