12th Fail vs Tejas box office day 6: Vikrant Massey starrer to cross Rs 10 crore mark, Kangana Ranaut's film lags behind as shows get cancelled

Vikrant Massey starrer 12th Fail was released alongside Kangana Ranaut's film Tejas on October 27. While 12th Fail continues to mint money, Tejas is showing no sign of growth. After completing five days in theatres, let's see the films' box office collections of day 6.

Hyderabad: Kangana Ranaut's thrilling aerial action film Tejas and Vikrant Massey starrer 12th Fail had their theatrical releases on the same day leading to a box office clash. Despite generating high anticipation, Tejas struggled to attract audiences to the cinema, receiving mixed reviews from critics. On the other hand, 12th Fail gained momentum through positive word-of-mouth, resulting in impressive box office success. Now, let's take a look at how the films will perform on day 6.

Based on industry tracker Sacnilk's data, Tejas had a moderate start, accumulating a total of Rs 4.55 crore as net earnings in India during its first five days. On the sixth day, Tejas is estimated to have made an additional Rs 0.20 crore, reaching a total collection of Rs 4.75 crore.

According to reports, several shows of Tejas had to be canceled on Monday due to the absence of audiences. Film exhibitor Manoj Desai, who owns the Gaiety Galaxy theatres in Mumbai informed a newswire that the highest audience they had ever had for a Sunday show was 100 people. He mentioned that the number of moviegoers was less than 100 for the rest of the shows. Similarly, other exhibitors reported some stories as well.

Helmed by Sarvesh Mewara, Tejas revolves around an unwavering Indian Air Force (IAF) officer dedicated to protecting the nation. Alongside Kangana Ranaut, the film features important roles portrayed by Anshul Chauhan, Varun Mitra, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Vishak Nair.

On the contrary, 12th Fail put up a strong performance in its initial five days at the box office. On the sixth day, the film is estimated to have added Rs 2.00 crore to its overall collection in all languages, bringing it to a sum of Rs 12.00 crore, as per early estimates by Sacnilk.

12th Fail, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, tells the story of Manoj Kumar Sharma, an IPS officer who decides to pursue his academics again by taking on the highly challenging UPSC exam. The film also includes actors Medha Shankar, Sanjay Bishnoi, and Harish Khanna in prominent roles. The movie is produced by the director himself under the banner of Vinod Chopra Films.
