New Delhi: The new chapter of Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma's critically acclaimed series Sarkar couldn't uproot three-weeks-old Baahubali: The Conclusion from the box office race. Amitabh Bachchan's Sarkar 3 collected a meagre Rs 6.75 crore whileBaahubali 2 over the (third) weekend made Rs 42.55 crore, reported trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Sarkar 3 was banking on the critical and commercial success of Sarkar and Sarkar Raj. However, critics panned the Ram Gopal Varma directorial piece and the box office numbers reveal enough as to which film is the current favorite among movie-goers. Baahubali 2, directed by S S Rajamouli, has collected Rs 432 crore so far and is still counting.
Taran Adarsh gave the official numbers:
Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3 failed to receive favourable reviews when it released on Friday. In his review for NDTV, Raja Sen wrote: "The plotting is oafish, the character motivations are boringly shallow, and there seems to have been a catastrophic misreading of what palace politics entail." He gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5.
Watch the trailer of Sarkar 3:
Sarkar 3 released along with Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana's Meri Pyaari Bindu, which too hasn't been lucky at the box office so far. The Akshay Roy-directed film collected Rs 6.50 crore in three days, reported Taran Adarsh.
Sarkar 3 also stars Amit Sadh, Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, Manoj Bajpayee and Jackie Shroff. The film takes forward the story of Subhash Nagre aka Sarar, who still calls the shots in his locality and is surrounded by more enemies than he was in the last two films.
