#Aiyaary fell flat on Sun... Growth in biz was missing... Weekend biz is lower than #AGentleman [₹ 13.13 cr] and #Ittefaq [₹ 16.05 cr]... Overall, lacklustre... Fri 3.36 cr, Sat 4.04 cr, Sun 4.30 cr. Total: ₹ 11.70 cr. India biz.

Despite the massive hype around the film, Aiyaary couldn’t manage to strike a chord with the audience. The movie has received scathing reviews from the critics as well.
Aiyaary has proved to be Sidharth Malhotra’s lowest opening movie in the opening week. His earlier movies ‘A Gentleman’ ( Rs 13.13 cr) and Ittefaq (Rs 16.05 cr) performed better than Aiyaary in the first week.
When compared to the box office results in India, Aiyaary has fared well in the international markets. The movie which is set against army backdrop has minted Rs 4.57 crore in the first two days in overseas.
#Aiyaary - OVERSEAS...

Fri $ 419,000
Sat $ 292,000
Total: $ 711,000 [₹ 4.57 cr]…
2-day biz is 40% higher than #NaamShabana in international markets.
The storyline of Aiyaary revolves around an army officer who turns rogue to reveal a scam in the country. It is yet to be seen if the movie will be able to perform better in the second week.
