'Sarfira' nears ₹20 crore mark despite slow box office performance
What's the story
Akshay Kumar's latest film, Sarfira, is inching closer to the ₹20 crore mark despite a sluggish box office performance.
The Hindi adaptation of the Tamil movie Soorarai Pottru has received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.
However, it faces stiff competition from Prabhas's pan-Indian release Kalki 2898 AD and Kamal Haasan's Indian 2, both of which are attracting larger crowds.
