Two Bollywood biggies 'India's Most Wanted' and 'PM Narendra Modi' biopic released on Friday, May 24. While fans were expecting a massive box office tiff between the two films, looks like Will Smith's Hollywood venture 'Aladdin' dominated the clash and stole all the limelight.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh in a recent Twitter post ​​​​​revealed that with all the three films released on the same day, 'Aladdin' emerged as the first choice of moviegoers, eclipsing the biz of both the Bollywood ventures. While 'PM Narendra Modi' biopic grossed Rs 2.88 crore and 'India's Most Wanted' collected around Rs 2.10 crore on day 1,  'Aladdin' overshadowed them with an opening day collection of Rs. 4.25 crore.

In a recent Twitter, Adarsh wrote, "#Aladdin dominates... Emerges the first choice of moviegoers, eclipsing the biz of new films and holdover titles... Summer vacations + family-friendly content should ensure growth on Day 2 and 3... Fri ₹ 4.25 cr Nett BOC. India biz. Gross BOC: ₹ 5.06 cr. All versions."

Here's the post:

In the previous posts, Adarsh revealed that 'India's Most Wanted' had a struggling start and the 'PM Narendra Modi' biopic had a lukewarm start on Friday.

Here are the posts:

Arjun Kapoor's 'India's Most Wanted' tells the story of the Manhunt of a terrorist. Based on a true story, the film shows how Arjun's character along with four other's track down a terrorist without any arms and ammunition. 

The 'PM Narendra Modi' biopic starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead, on the other hand, depicts the life of the Indian Prime Minister. It follows the journey of PM Narendra Modi right from his humble beginnings to finally becoming the Indian Prime Minister.

The Hollywood venture 'Aladdin' starring Will Smith as the Genie is a thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, 'Aladdin' which is in turn based on the Arab-style folktale of the same name from 'One Thousand and One Nights' and its French interpretation by Antoine Galland.
