Yudhra box office collection day 1: The Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan-starrer action film Yudhra had a promising start at the box office, thanks to tickets being priced at Rs 99 due to National Cinema Day. The film, which opened to mixed reviews, earned Rs 4.5 crore domestically, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Yudhra had over 2200 shows on its opening day, almost double of Kareena Kapoor’s crime thriller, The Buckingham Murders. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the film witnessed an overall occupancy of about 46.54% with the majority of the crowd watching the night shows.
