Ghanchakkar' earns Rs 7.2 crore on the opening day

New Delhi: Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi's last film 'The Dirty Picture' had set the cash registers ringing with their power-packed performances and some crackling chemistry. But their latest 'Ghanchakkar' seems to have got just an average response at the box office on the opening day. The film is able to collect Rs 7.2 crore in India on Friday.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "INDIA: #Ghanchakkar Fri Rs 7.2 cr."

Directed by Rajkumar Gupta of 'No One Killed Jessica' fame, 'Ghanchakkar' has not been able to draw audiences to the theatre.

It is for the first time that Vidya Balan has tried her hands at comedy and the actress plays a boisterous Punjabi housewife in 'Ghanchakkar'.

The comedy thriller also stars Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das.
