Kamal Khan’s debut feature film Laal Kabootar and Azfar Jafri’s Sherdil released nationwide on March 22. The two films explore two completely different genres; Laal Kabootar is a Karachi based crime drama while Sherdil is packed with patriotic fervor. Fortunately, both films have been able to maintain good numbers at the local box office, according to Entertainment Pakistan.
Laal Kabootar raked in 30 lacs on its opening day (March 22), followed by 25 lacs on Saturday and 22 lacs on Sunday, making a total of 77 lacs by the end of the weekend. Comparatively, Sherdil collected around 1.15 cr on the first day, adding 1.7 cr and 1.3 lacs on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, reaching up to 4.15 cr by the end of opening weekend.
Laal Kabootar picked up on day two and three while Sherdil saw a massive growth in Rawalpindi/Islamabad.
Starring Ahmed Ali Akbar and Mansha Pasha in lead roles, Laal Kabootar has generated great reviews from viewers including industry insiders. Mikaal Zulfiqar-starrer Sherdil, on the other hand, has failed to impress critics.
Let’s wait and see how the coming days unfold for the two films at the box office until Project Ghazi joins the league on March 29.
