The high-budget, much-awaited actioner, Agent, failed to beat the opening day figures of Akhil's last film, Most Eligible Bachelor.
Agent box office collection day 1: Akhil Akkineni's much-awaited actioner Agent was expected to be the next big film from the actor. However, the film opened with mixed reviews and low numbers. As per the trade data analyst site, Sacnilk, Agent collected Rs 5.95 crores from domestic markets. On Friday, Agent earned Rs 5.09 crores in Telugu and Rs 5 lakhs in Malayalam versions. As far as the overseas collection is concerned, the film collected Rs 1.30 crore. On the first day, Agent collected Rs 8.30 crore worldwide.
Released on April 28, Agnet had to compete with Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan Part 2. And the clash could be a reason for the dent in the collection. However, the mixed reactions are also responsible for the low opening. As far as occupancy is concerned, the film had 10.53% occupancy in morning shows, 6.55% in afternoon shows, 4.87% in evening shows, and a good growth of 16.28% in night shows. When it comes to comparison, Agent failed to beat Akhil's last film, the romantic-comedy, Most Eligible Bachelor. As per Sacnilk, Akhil's 2021 hit film collected Rs 8.10 crores.
Agent is Akhil's sixth film and was highly anticipated during its release. However, the reactions aren't favourable, and it seems a tough journey for Agent.
