Raja Natwarlal box office report: Emraan Hashmi’s con caper bags Rs 11 crore

Kunal Deshmukh’s Emraan Hashmi and Humaima Malick starring con caper Raja Natwarlal hit the screen this Friday with an average response. The film, we gather, netted Rs 6 crore on the opening day which is not impressive considering the fact Hashmi’s earlier ventures The Dirty Picture and Jannat had collected Rs 10 crore and Rs 8 crore respectively at the collection centers on the opening day.

Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani is giving a tough competition to the Hashmi’s movie. Thanks to a good mouth publicity Mardaani has raked Rs 25 crore so far and is going steady with its box office number. It’s indeed a remarkable achievement for a project that rides soley on the shoulders of a mainstream actress with no big male star featuring in it. With this weekend comprising three holidays in a row, thanks to the occasion ofGanesh Chaturthi, the trade experts were expecting good collections for Raja Natwarlal but so far response to the Hashmi’s movie has been rather lukewarm.
