With Yash Raj Films backing it, Thugs of Hindostan opened on 5,000 screens across the country on Thursday earlier this week, a day after Diwali. Critics - most of them were unimpressed by the film - had said it will manage to earn Rs 50 crore on the first day, but will find it hard to sustain the pace after the initial days.
Directed by Dhoom 3 fame Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs of Hindostan brought Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan together on the silver screen for the first time ever. The rest of the cast includes Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Lloyd Owen in lead roles. It is a period action film set in the times of Indian freedom struggle.
