'The Xpose' collects over Rs.10 crore in opening weekend

Actor-singer Himesh Reshammiya's "The Xpose" has collected over Rs.10 crore in India in three days.

"'The Xpose' (has collected) Rs.10.97 crore nett. India business," trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted on Twitter Monday.

Directed by Ananth Mahadevan, "The Xpose" also stars Irrfan, Sonali Raut, Zoya Afroz and rapper-composer Honey Singh, who makes his acting debut with the thriller, which reportedly hit 800 screens in India Friday.

Based on the violent birth of Bangladesh, Mritunjay Devvrat's directorial "Children of War" too released on the same day, but it got a dull opening at the box office.

"The box office collection of the film is negligible. The curiosity level was not high. And the serious subject is meant for a limited audience," Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines told IANS.

He also said that the romantic suspense thriller "M3 - Midsummer Midnight Mumbai" also did "negligible" business during the weekend.
