It was Mohenjo Daro vs Rustom on August 12, 2016 and as expected Akshay Kumar's Rustom defeated Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro comfortably.
The First 4 days collection of the films were as below…
Friday - 14,00,00,000
Saturday - 16,25,00,000
Sunday - 19,50,00,000
Monday - 17,75,00,000
Total Domestic Collection - 67,50,00,000
Mohenjo Daro (Made with a budget of Rs. 115 Cr)
Friday - 8,75,00,000
Saturday - 9,50,00,000
Sunday - 12,00,00,000
Monday - 10,00,00,000
Total Domestic Collection - 40,25,00,000
Monday was a national holiday in India and so the collections were good for both the movies, but going by word of mouth, Rustom is set to cross 100 Cr mark if the trend continues whereas Mohenjo Daro will probably even fail to recover its production amount.
What worked for Rustom was Akshay Kumar's star appeal. Along with the Khans, Akshay Kumar also has a very big fan following.
