Blackmail could not do much on Saturday as it collected in the 3.25-3.50 crore nett range which is growth of around 30-35% but for these type of films it is far too less. This was on the cards as the film did not get that push on Friday evening at the metros which it should of considering it is for that audience.

Some films record very strong business on Saturday without the Friday lift in metros but it was not to be the case with this film. The growth is very moderate and it will probably face an uphill struggle at the box office. A film like Baaghi 2 has grown more in metro centers as compared to a Blackmail which pretty much tells the story as the metro audience is not the the target audience of that film .

The first two day collections of Blackmail are as follows.

Friday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,35,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 5,85,00,000

The weekend of Blackmail could struggle to hit the 10 crore nett mark which is not much better than a Madaari(2016) which was another Irrfan Khan which collected 9.27 crore nett in its first weekend but on 975 screens compared to the 1500 of Blackmail.

The only hope is big growth of 40% plus on Sunday but with the reports and dark theme which hold little interest for families it would be a huge surprise if that happens on Sunday.
