Assi starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role is holding decently but at the low levels. The movie added Rs. 50 lakh to the tally on its Day 7, bringing the total cume to Rs. 6.50 crore in its opening week. 

The courtroom drama, directed by Anubhav Sinha, met with majorly positive reception, it still couldn’t post the kind of growth it needed in its first week. The movie should now aim to record a big jump in its second weekend in order to reach a respectable figure. However, it won’t get a clear run as The Kerala Story is releasing in cinemas this weekend. Though it isn’t a trouble as of now but you never know how such movies can take a sensational route, eventually becoming a threat like its predeccesor. 

Co-starring Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Assi had a lowkey promotional strategy, which is why it couldn’t ignite the interest among the audience. All eyes are now on its second weekend hold. 

The previous collaboration between Anubhav Sinha and Taapsee Pannu was Thappad, which debuted with Rs. 2.75 crore and went on to collect Rs. 13.50 crore nett in its opening weekend. Thappad eventually recovered its cost of production and ended its theatrical run around Rs. 30 crore nett, which would be considered as a good outcome for a film like this in today’s scenario. It will be interesting to see how Assi performs further.
