Kangana Ranaut has returned to the big screen with another intriguing film 'Tejas' after the success of 'Chandramukhi 2'. The movie follows the story of an IAF officer determined to safeguard the nation at all costs. Despite the hype about the film, 'Tejas' is not performing well at the box office and received a mixed lukewarm response from the audience and the critics. After the box office success of 'Chandramukhi 2', all eyes are on Kangana's 'Tejas' but it is struggling to attract the audience to the theatres. The movie also stars Anshul Chauhan, Varun Mitra, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Vishak Nair in pivotal roles.
Tejas Box Office Collection:
According to the website Sacnilk, 'Tejas' collected Rs 1.25 crore on day 2 as per early estimates. It earned Rs 1.25 crore on day 1 and its total box office collection now stands at Rs 2.50 crore.
As 'Tejas' is struggling to perform at the box office, Kangana Ranaut requested her social media followers to watch the film in theatres. She wrote, "Even before COVID theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically post covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy with family and friends or else they ( theatres) won’t be able to sustain. Thanks."

The official synopsis of 'Tejas' reads, "Tejas is the story of the courageous female IAF officer - Tejas Gill, who’s determined to safeguard the nation at all costs. It’s India’s first air action film which also showcases India’s first indigenous fighter jet - Tejas. With the motto of ‘Bharat Ko Chhedoge, Toh Chhodenge Nahi’, the makers of Uri are set to bring another ultimate patriotic film!"
On the work front, Kangana will be seen in 'Emergency' in which she will portray the role of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The movie was supposed to release in November 2023 but has been delayed. Kangana was last seen in 'Chandramukhi 2' along with Raghava Lawrence in the lead role.
