Box office Day-4: Taapsee Pannu's 'Assi' fails to cross ₹5cr
What's the story
Taapsee Pannu's latest film, Assi, directed by Anubhav Sinha, has had a lackluster run at the box office. After a slow start, the movie collected nearly ₹0.75 crore on Monday (Day 4), taking its India net collections to around ₹4.95 crore. Despite its serious subject matter and strong ensemble cast, including Revathi and Manoj Pahwa, the film has struggled to draw audiences in theaters since its release last Friday.

Looking at the film in numbers
Assi also saw low occupancy rates, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 8.05% on Monday (February 23). This is a far cry from the usual numbers for Pannu's films. The actor has previously delivered successful performances in films like Pink and Thappad, but Assi seems to be struggling despite its hard-hitting subject matter.
