The much-talked Sarkar Raj has failed to come up to the expectation at the box offices, with multiplexes recording only a 50% occupancy on the opening day, reports Sonali Krishna from Mumbai.

The film on sunday with occupancy levels of 85-90% mark has dropped drastically on monday across multiplexes.

Even the stellar star cast, with the entire Bachchan family acting in the movie, has not managed to keep the film afloat. Distributors across the country are now worried about the potential losses that they may have to bear, if the film’s performance does not pick up.

In terms of theatrical revenues (box-office receipts), the film is expected to rake in only Rs 13-14 crore on an investment of about Rs 25 crore. The film was sold to Balaji Telefilms for about Rs 42 crore.

Film Analyst Komal Nahta said: “The film has not worked because the script was dry and rather verbose, despite it being a short film. The film will run into losses, and will not make money at least via theatrical revenues.” The film was positioned as one of the big blockbusters this summer, and was slated to be Ram Gopal Varma’s comeback movie, post a series of flops.
