Aakhri Sawal Box Office Collection Day 2: Sanjay Dutt-starrer Aakhri Sawal finally released on May 15 after facing CBFC hurdles. Helmed by National Award-winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang, the film revolves around a professor who has been accused by his student of bias after he rejects the student's RSS thesis. The political movie received positive reviews from audiences, but couldn't convert them into box-office success.

Aakhri Sawal made Rs 48 lakh at the box office across 2,035 shows in India, according to Sacnilk. The political movie made Rs 0.73 lakh in 1894, on its second day. On Saturday, Aakhri Sawal recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 11%.

Aakhri Sawal's two-day box office collection stood at Rs 1.13 crore.

1 Rs 0.40 crore
2 Rs 0.73 crore
TOTAL Rs 1.13 crore

According to trade experts in general, Aakhri Sawal's box office figures are disappointing, especially in light of rumours that the movie was produced on a budget of between Rs 30 and Rs 40 crore. In order to boost its box office prospects, the movie will need to make a big splash on Sunday, given its dismal collections thus far.

About Aakhri Sawal

Aakhri Sawal, a powerful political and psychological drama, focused on Vicky, a gifted but erratic student who caused a stir when he publicly accused his instructor, Professor Gopal Nadkarni, of institutional bias. After Vicky's contentious RSS thesis was turned down, the confrontation started. A sensationalist news anchor and a politically ambitious activist converted what had begun as an intellectual dispute into a nationally televised debate that quickly became a public spectacle.

The conflict between Vicky and Nadkarni developed into a heated psychological struggle as the story progressed. The Gandhi assassination and the Emergency were among the delicate historical and political subjects covered in the movie as Vicky vehemently challenges his mentor's opinions.

Aakhri Sawal's true test starts over the weekend, when consistent attendance will determine whether Aakhri Sawal can regain momentum at the box office or stay mired in a slow theatrical run. However, the second day's 82.15% growth gives the makers a small glimmer of hope.
