Uunchai Box Office Collection Report

The film hit the theater on November 11 and garened positive reviews. The early reactions of Uunchai have suggested that it is a heartwarming story and Sooraj Barjatya has brought his vision as a nuanced storyteller to the fore. The performances of the lead cast members have also been praised, especially Big B and Kher’s

According to Box Office India, “Unchaai has taken a decent start of 20-25% on a very restricted release. The film had very little going for it in terms of getting an audience in on the opening day but because of the release strategy, the film has managed a decent response. The film has been released on less than 500 screens and more importantly there are hardly 1400 shows for the film as each screen has minimal shows.”

“The numbers will not be high due to the restricted release but it the film could get to 1.50 crore nett it would be a decent result as these are the sort of numbers many films have been getting but with four times the shows. This would give the film a platform to do well if the film is good enough.” BOI added.
