Taapsee Pannu's 'Dobaaraa' hits a roadblock, shows cancelled on Day 1 of film's release

Taapsee Pannu's 'Dobaaraa', which was released in theatres today, opened to good reviews from film critics. But despite that, the film couldn't attract the masses. According to several reports, the film could only manage to register 2-3 per cent occupancy in theatres on its first day of release.

Further reports also suggest that several early shows of the film were cancelled as Anurag Kashyap directorial failed to register footfalls.

The report was shared by Sumit Kadel, a film trade analyst who took to Twitter to share people's reaction to Pannu's film.


#Dobaaraa is off to a DISASTROUS start at the box office, film is registering merely 2-3% occupancy while many early shows are getting cancelled due to NO AUDIENCE.." he tweeted.


Meanwhile, before the film's release, the film-maker and actress had commented on the boycott trend where the two had urged everyone to boycott their film.

"Please everyone boycott our film, Dobaaraa. I want to be in the same league as Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan. I feel left out," Pannu said, as quoted by IndiaToday.in

Whereas Kashyap voiced the same opinion. ""Yes please, I want our film to trend on the boycott hashtag as well."

The two then said that they wanted to know "if those people who call for a boycott are the ones who even watch films in theatres?" The film marks Kashyap and Pannu's third collaboration after the 2018 hit ‘Manmarziyaan’ and biographical drama ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ (2019), on which he served as producer.

It also reunites her with ‘Thappad’ co-star Pavail Gulati.
