Akshay Kumar-starrer Bell Bottom opened to positive reviews from critics and audience. The film was released amid COVID-19 restrictions in many states and is performing below expectations.
Despite festivals like Raksha Bandhan and Onam, the espionage thriller failed to witness a big growth at the ticket windows.
After the weekend, the drop on Monday is expected quite normal but the collections of Bell Bottom were surprisingly low from what the distributors had expected. According to Bollywood Life, the film collected around Rs 1.80 crore domestically.
Currently, the movie stands with a grand total of Rs 14.55 crore in the five-day total collection. Reports also suggest that there are chances of Bell bottom managing to withstand business if further relaxations are made across the country as collections might inch closer to Rs 45 crore.
