Saand Ki Aankh box office collection day 4 early estimates: Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar's film witnesses a massive jump

After having an average weekend due to pre-Diwali phase, Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar's Saand Ki Aankh witnessed a massive jump yesterday at the domestic market. The Diwali holiday benefitted the film as the early estimates say that it has earned over Rs 3 crore and now stands with the grand total of Rs 5.75 crore. The fourth-day business of the biographical drama is more than the first 3-day total, which suggests that it has the potential to have a longer run at the ticket windows.

Before the release, Saand Ki Aankh was criticized for casting two young actors to portray 60-year-olds and not women closer to the age of the sharpshooters. Taapsee replied to it by saying, "I was pretty surprised and laughed at it thinking, no one questioned me when I played a college girl at 30. Nobody questions when these big actors portray college characters being triple the age. At that time nothing happens." She further added,"It's so strange that two actresses, at the prime of their careers, decided to look more than double their age, where today an actress always wants to look younger and younger. We decided to look double the age. Instead of appreciating it, people are finding issues with it."

The actor says she later got to know from her producer that senior actors were also approached for the role "but they felt it's too offbeat a film." Directed by debutante Tushar Hiranandani, the film is based on two octogenarian sharpshooters Chandro, 87, and Prakashi, 82, who are from Uttar Pradesh's Johri village and reportedly took up sharpshooting in their 50s. Chandro, who is fondly called shooter 'dadi' is among the world's oldest female sharpshooters. Reliance Entertainment has produced Saand Ki Aankh along with Anurag Kashyap and Nidhi Parmar of Chalk n Cheese Films. The film also stars Prakash Jha and Vicky Kadian in key roles.
