MUMBAI: Kangana Ranaut's action-packed 'Dhaakad', which arrived in theatres on Saturday (May 21), witnessed a slow start at the box office. The spy-thriller was released in 2200 screens across the nation. However, the film has failed to garner positive word of mouth from the critics and the audience.
According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, 'Dhaakad' made Rs 50 lakh on its opening day. "#Dhaakad early estimates for All-India Day 1 is Rs 50 Lakhs Nett," Bala tweeted.

On the other hand, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', which was released on the same day as 'Dhaakad', has raked in over Rs 14 crore on the opening day.
