Namaste England is slowly picking up pace. It opened at only Rs 1.90 crore and on the second day, it earned Rs 2 crore. Its total collection now stands at Rs 3.9 crore, according to Bollywood Hungama. Namaste England, which stars Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra, is a sequel to 2007 film Namastey London, which had Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles.
The film is expected to play second fiddle to its sole competitor Badhaai Ho, a comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana. Trade analyst Girish Johar earlier told indianexpress.com, “It is Arjun Kapoor’s star power that will lure the audience in the movie. Also, Vipul Shah is a great director. It might be a sequel to Namastey London but it has a contemporary touch to it with Parineeti Chopra and Arjun in the lead.” He predicted a collection of Rs 5-6 crore for the film on Friday.”
