While Pannu's film has managed to earn a total of Rs 2.12 crore so far, the Rao-starrer had minted Rs 7.69 crore. 'HIT' raked in over Rs 1.35 crore on Day 1, but 'Shabaash Mithu' collected just Rs 40 lakh on the opening day.
The box-office performance of 'Shabaash Mithu' reminded people of Kangana Ranaut's 'Dhaakad'.
Earlier in mid-May, the Bollywood diva's action-packed film faced a similar fate with unusually low performance at the box office.

People want to watch quality movies from the comfort of their homes.
Bored of same faces playing superstars over decades.
Days of stars hv ended.
Some decided to go political and shared their opinion on the film, others drew comparisons with 'Dhakaad'.
