The Akshay Kumar starrer Bachchhan Paandey was released on Friday last week. Despite the hype and promotions, the business of the film did not jump up to the expectations.

In this box office report, we take a look at the opening weekend collections of Bachchhan Paandey while comparing the same to Sajid Nadiadwala’s previous releases. Collecting Rs. 37.25 cr, Bachchhan Paandey ranks as Nadiadwala’s tenth highest opening weekend grosser.
