Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt starrer movie Shamshera has released today.
The film marks the return of the Wake-Up Sid actor on the silver screens after almost 4 years. Shamshera releases on July 22. The film faces no competition at the box office.
Movies like Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 have proved good content (or controversy) could still work even if it’s coming from Bollywood. Shamshera’s box office numbers would really reflect Ranbir Kapoor’s star power here as YRF is banking on that.

As far as Shamshera box office day 1 goes, the advance booking seems to be picking up slowly and gradually which is always a good sign for any film. Walk-ins would play a major role, as it’s a mass-centric film targeting the interior belts around the country. As of now, the film is seeming to open the cash windows collecting somewhere in the range of 13-15 crore.
As recently reported, touching the 15-crore mark would make Shamshera this year’s highest Bollywood opener.
Sanjay Dutt plays Daroga Shuddh Singh. The latter is reuniting with Karan Malhotra after Agneepath in 2012, where he played the main villain Kaancha Cheena.
The actor said Shamshera is made for the masses. He said in an interview, “Shamshera is an amazing film, most commercial film I have come across in recent times, it is made for the masses. This is kind of work I’ve done all my life, but it got somewhere forgotten in Bollywood.”
