The India Story Struggles at Box Office
The India Story, a movie about pesticide use, had a slow start at the box office.
On its first day, it made only ₹16 lakh in India and ₹18 lakh worldwide.
The movie didn't make any money overseas.
It cost between ₹20 crore and ₹30 crore to make, so the opening day earnings were disappointing.
The film needs to do much better over the weekend to make back its budget.
Some people think it can recover, while others believe the slow start means it won't be successful.
The India Story collected ₹16 lakh in India on its opening day.
The film's worldwide gross collection was approximately ₹18 lakh.
The movie had no overseas earnings on its first day.
The budget for The India Story is estimated between ₹20 crore and ₹30 crore.
The film needs significant improvement in collections to become profitable.
