Parmanu and Race 3 deal with extremely different subjects but they have been equally adept at performing well at the box office. Parmanu is based on the 1998 nuclear test explosions that took place in Pokhran while Race is a high-octane action thriller with strong ensemble cast.
According to Taran Adarsh, Parmanu's consistent performance could be attributed to the film's strong content while Race 3's golden run at the ticket window could be a result of Eid festivities. "Content scores and box office numbers do the talking... Eid festivities gave massive boost to its business," he tweeted.
Take a look at Taran Adarsh's tweet here:
