The courtroom drama Assi, directed by Anubhav Sinha and starring Taapsee Pannu, is nearing the end of its theatrical run at the Indian box office.
The film had a modest opening, collecting around ₹1 crore on its first day, and went on to earn approximately ₹6.50 crore nett during its first week in cinemas.
Collections Drop Sharply After Opening Week
After a relatively steady opening week, the film witnessed a noticeable decline in the following weeks.
In its second week, the movie collected around ₹2.45 crore, bringing its overall total close to ₹9 crore.
The downward trend continued in the third week, where the courtroom drama managed to collect approximately ₹90 lakh, with the majority of the revenue coming from the weekend.
This pushed the film’s cumulative total to around ₹9.85 crore nett in India.
Film Expected to Close Around ₹10 Crore
Although the film still has a short window in theatres, the current pace of daily collections indicates that it is unlikely to see a significant jump in earnings.
Based on present trends, the movie is expected to close its domestic theatrical run at around ₹10 crore nett.
This total is significantly lower compared to the previous collaboration between Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha, the acclaimed social drama Thappad.
Positive Reception But Limited Box Office Support
Despite receiving generally positive feedback from a section of audiences and critics, the film did not manage to attract strong footfall in theatres.
Trade observers believe the film may find a broader audience once it becomes available on digital platforms.
