'Lipstick Under My Burkha' witnesses weekend growth at box office, 'Munna Michael' fails to fulfill hopes

Alankrita Shrivastava's latest release 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' which is happened to be one of the most anticipated movies of the year, has hit the screens with a much slow opening on Friday. After a disappointing collection of  Rs 1.22 cr on the first day of its release, the Konkona Sen Sharma starrer has witnessed an outstanding growth of 80% on the second day collecting a total of Rs. 2.17 crore on Saturday. The movie mints a fare amount of Rs 5.80 crore within three days and further stays strong at box office on the 4th day of its release.

The movie which talks about women empowerment in the patriarchal society, has got rave reviews from the critics. 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' which was touted to be 'too lady-oriented' had its share of controversies which included a stay on its release too.

However, after a prolonged battle with CBFC, the movie has come up with a fresh new plot which is driving a large number of people towards theatres all over the country.

Though 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' failed to fetch in the expected box office numbers on the first day of its release, the non-commercial movie has been immensely praised by the audience which is a bit rare for such a genre of the movie.
