Box office: Sachin A Billion Dreams has a positive opening of Rs7 crore

Sachin A Billion Dreams had a very good first day as it earned Rs7 crore, as per figures shared by BoxOfficeIndia.com. Such a number might not appear significant. But considering it is a docu drama, it is indeed impressive.

Titled Cinema Cinema, the faces of big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini and Zeenat Aman drew in big crowds at the time. 

Hollywood film, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge, starring Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem, which also released yesterday, did a decent business of around Rs4.25 crore.
