Kunal Kemmu remains steady at the box office

Madgaon Express collected ₹2.75 crore on Saturday, a significant increase from ₹1.5 crore on its first day of release. According to the entertainment tracking portal Sacnilk, the film's earnings increased by ₹2.85 crore on its third day of release, Sunday, bringing the opening weekend's total collection to ₹7.10 crore. The fact that Monday is a national holiday for Holi will also give the makers hope that the film will reach a double-figure net collection by day four.

Kunal Kemmu's directorial debut clashed at the box office with Randeep Hooda's directorial debut, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, which released in theaters this Friday. The historical biographical film, starring Hooda himself as the main lead, is based on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, one of India's most renowned revolutionaries.
