New Delhi: Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh's latest outing Marjaavaan has witnessed a decent box office collection on the first day of its release.
The film managed to get a lukewarm start by earning a total of Rs 7.03 crores on Friday.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the film's box office performance on Twitter.
"#Marjaavaan posts respectable numbers on Day 1... Mass circuits / single screens very good, contribute to the total... Metro multiplexes were ordinary... Multiplexes of Tier-2 + Tier-3 cities were good... Should witness growth on Day 2 and 3... Fri Rs 7.03 cr [2922 screens]. #India biz," Adarsh tweeted.
Marjaavaan reloads eighties style violence and melodrama, unleashing the combo for a loud potboiler impact.

Marjaavaan tells the story of Raghu (Sidharth) and Zoya (Tara) whose world is turned upside down by a vertically-challenged gang leader (Riteish) with harmful intentions.
Sidharth plays a larger-than-life character who breaks bones and utters dialogues that reminds of the Angry Young Man image of Bollywood's retro era. Earlier Sidharth had also said that Marjaavaan is a humble attempt to reclaim that era.
The flick directed by Milap Milan Zaveri has been produced by Bhushan Kumar.
It is bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, and Krishan Kumar along with Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikhil Advani.
The movie hit the theatres on November 15.
