The first box office report “Eh Janam Tumhare Lehke” is out and shows the film is off to not a great start. The film’s per screen average overseas over the weekend was quite low and unless word of mouth promotes the film, the film might only last till the 3rd week in theaters. The film is on the life of Bhagat Puran Singh who founded the Pingalwara charity which takes care of disabled and abandoned children.
The box office report is skewed also due to not all screens reporting their earnings but an idea can be drawn with the current numbers of the low performance of the film.
The per screen average is well below the record breaking screen average of Chaar Sahibzaade which even beat Hollywood films overseas in certain markets. ‘
However, the audience has given great reviews for the film and it’s must watch for everyone as it gives a lesson on what true selfless service is all about.
