Despite opening with unanimous bad WOM and reviews, Mowgli collected well on its first day at the box office by grossing more than 1 Cr. Certainly, it is a decent start for the film. The film stars Roshan Kanakala and Sakshi Mhadolkar as the lead pair.
The brand of the director, Sandeep Raj, and the ticket pricing of 99 Rs fetched some respectable numbers for the film. Normally, when a biggie gets released in competition with a small film, and it opens with negative WOM, it will face difficulties in getting decent numbers, to say the least.
But Mowgli sees a 1 Cr+ opening. Today, the film needs a significant jump at the box office, collecting much more than on opening day to gain traction. While the opening numbers are good for its range, it’s important to keep up the momentum, especially with the presence of negative word-of-mouth.
