New Delhi: Friday, January 23, was the day of battle at the box office and apparently Akshay Kumar's Baby has won it by earning Rs 9.30 cr nett in India. Whereas Sonam Kapoor's much hyped Dolly Ki Doli has only managed to garner Rs 2 cr on the opening day, as reported by Koimoi.
National Award recipient with films like 'A Wednesday' and 'Special 26' under his name, Neeraj Pandey's action thirller Baby has turned out to be a winner at the box office, though the numbers are not very encouraging, but the positive word of mouth is expected to help the film's performance at box office.
Baby which also stars Anupam Kher, Rana Daggubati and Tapsee Pannu has reportedly done well in Delhi, UP circuit and since it's a long weekend along with Republic Day. Baby has more chances of gaining, as patriotism is in the air.
On the other hand Sonam Kapoor's Dolly Ki Doli's biggest setback was Baby's release on the same day. Arbaaz Khan's production, starring Sonam Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Raj Kumar Rao hasn't been able to get viewers' attention. As the film has opened lower than Sonam's last release Khoobsurat.
