Shaakuntalam collects $125K at US box office on Day 1
Shaakuntalam, a romantic fantasy drama made by director Gunasekhar with Samantha as the lead, was released today in theatres. The film failed to impress the audience fully when compared to the huge expectations before its release. Gunasekhar could not live up to the standards of making a mythology film. Despite the bad reviews the film received, it managed to make some good numbers at the box office on day 1. This might be due to the pre-booking and day 1 mania effect. Shaakuntalam has collected 125 thousand dollars on day 1 (including the premieres) at the US box office. This is a very good figure for a film that opened to negative reviews. Shaakuntalam was released in the US by Radha Krishna…
