Mumbai, July 23: Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Shamshera' has opened low at the box office.
According to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, 'Shamshera' which was made on a massive budget of approximately 150 crores, collected around Rs 10.25 crore on its first day of release.
"Shamshera sends shock waves within the industry, as Day 1 ends on an underwhelming note... National chains poor, single screens below expectations... All eyes on Day 2 and 3 biz... Fri Rs 10.25 cr. #India biz," Adarsh said on Twitter.
Ranbir's 'Shamshera' is backed by Yash Raj Films and directed by Karan Malhotra of 'Agneepath' fame.
The period film stars Ranbir Kapoor in a double role for the first time in his career, and it was widely anticipated given that it is his first release since Sanju in 2018.
