Estimates for Salaam Venky's 1st box office collection: The movie featuring Kajol has a slow start

The movie Salaam Venky, starring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa, debuted to mostly positive reviews this week. However, the film struggled to gain traction at the box office. Reportedly, the film made less than Rs 1 Cr on its first day. However, it is expected that the film will improve over the next few days. 

Despite positive reviews, Salaam Venky had a disappointing first day. According to reports, the film only made Rs 60 lakh on its opening day. 

On Thursday, Bollywood actress Kajol shared a photo  with actors Aamir Khan and Vishal Jethwa from Salaam Venky. The actor from Fanaa posted a photo of herself giving the thumbs up to the camera alongside Aamir and Vishal on her Instagram account. 

Sharing the photo, Kajol captioned, “It is a big thumps up from #TeamSalaamVenky #SalaamVenky.” 

The film Salaam Venky, in which Aamir has a brief appearance, is the pair's third collaboration. Together, they collaborated in the 2006 album Fanaa. They were also featured together in the 1997 film Ishq. 

In Salaam Venky, Kajol plays the role of a mother to a youngster who is near death. The film directed by actress Revathy, is a heartwarming account of a mother and son team overcoming their obstacles in life. 

Presented by Connekkt Media and produced by Suuraj Sinngh, Shraddha Agrawal, and Varsha Kukreja under the banner BLIVE Productions and RTAKE Studios, Salaam Venky  is directed by Revathy and was first shown in theatres on December 9, 2022.
