Anushka Sharma's Phillauri takes average opening at the box-office

Mumbai: After the success of Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', Anushka Sharma would be keen to continue her successful run at the box office with 'Phillauri'. However, that has not exactly happened.

Despite predominantly positive reviews, this did not translate to a decent opening day collection.

Accroding to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film grossed approximately 4.02 crore rupees.

This is a very disappointing figure considering the film had immense hype going for it. The positive word-of-mouth will most probably help the film gain more numbers through the weekend. The film, however, will at least have to double the figures to sail through.

The Anshai Lal directorial stars Anushka, who's also produced the film, Diljit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma and Mehreen Pirzada in the lead roles.
