Hollywood movies have been dominating the Bollywood Movies Off late! After The Jungle Book, Kung Fu Panda 3, Captain America: Civil War and Batman V Superman, the movie which stands out is X-Men:Apocalypse. X-Men which also released yesterday overpowered ‘Sarabjit’, Bollywood’s big release, directed by Omung Kumar, starring Randeep Hooda and Aishwarya Rai. Yes, as compared to Sarabjit, X-Men Apocalypse has performed much better.
X-Men Apocalypse opened to a 50 percent occupancy rate and managed to collect just 4.51 crores on the opening day, which is quite disappointing. On the other hand, the opening collections of ‘Sarabjit’ are even more disappointing. See what Taran Adarsh tweeted about both the movies.
#XMenApocalypse Fri ₹ 4.51 cr. India biz… Biz should grow over the weekend.

Yes, it is disappointing that ‘Sarabjit’ has managed to mint just 3.69 crores on its opening day! People expected the Aishwarya starrer movie to cross at least 10 crores on its 1st day. It is expected that the occupancy of both the movies would grow over the weekend. Let us see how these 2 biggies perform in the days to come.
