Kangana Ranaut is back in theatres with her latest aerial action film 'Tejas'. The movie revolves around an IAF officer determined to safeguard the nation at all costs. Apart from Kangana, 'Tejas' also stars Anshul Chauhan, Varun Mitra, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Vishak Nair in pivotal roles. The movie is not performing well at the box office and received a mixed lukewarm response from the audience and the critics despite creating hype ahead of its release. 'Tejas' also had less competition at the box office but it was unable to attract the audience to the theatres.
Tejas Box Office Collection:
According to the website Sacnilk, 'Tejas' collected Rs 1.25 crore on day 3 as per early estimates and earned Rs 1.30 crore on day 2. Its total box office collection now stands at Rs 3.80 crore approximately.
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!"
Kangana Ranaut requested her social media followers to watch 'Tejas' in theatres as the movie is struggling to perform at the box office. 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."
On the work front, Kangana was last seen in 'Chandramukhi 2' along with Raghava Lawrence in the lead role. She 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.
