Parmanu had a comparably better first week than many other releases of 2018 like Aiyaary, Pari, Hichki and October. In fact, the film is among the top 10 films with highest opening week collections in 2018.
Interestingly, Parmanu is also John’s first solo film after more than five years with which has performed really well in its opening week.
Well, now it’ll be interesting to see how the film competes at the box office in its second week with multiple films releasing today. The second week is very crucial for the film as it will give a better look at the film’s lifetime collection.
Directed by Abhishek Sharma. Parmanu also stars Diana Penty and Boman Irani alongside Abraham and was released worldwide on May 25.
