The clash between three highly anticipated films on September 19th saw a clear winner emerge in the box office race. ‘Jolly LLB 3’, the courtroom drama starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, outshone the competition. ‘Nishanchi,’ directed by Anurag Kashyap and featuring Aishwarya Thackeray, and ‘Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi’, based on the life of Yogi Adityanath, also released on the same day. Despite the buzz surrounding all three, ‘Jolly LLB 3’ took the lead.
‘Jolly LLB 3’ earned a solid 12.50 crore rupees on its opening day. The other two films, ‘Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi’ and ‘Nishanchi’, had significantly lower collections, failing to match the numbers of ‘Jolly LLB 3’. ‘Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi’ faced controversy prior to release, even being banned in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. ‘Nishanchi’ marked the debut of Aishwarya Thackeray, and it received mixed reviews.
