Samantha and Dev Mohan's pan-India Magnum Opus, Shaakuntalam, was seen struggling for a decent opening across the nation. The film earned in the range of 3.30-3.40 crore at the Indian box office on day one, which is a disaster total for a big-budget film.
Shaakuntalam collected approximately 2.20 crores gross at the Andhra box office, 35-40 lacs in the Hindi market, and about 90 lacs in the rest of the markets. The international markets added 1.60 crore gross for a worldwide total of 4.90-5 crore gross./movietalkies/media/post_attachments/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/yashoda-shakuntala-2.jpg)
Shaakuntalam has opened better than Samantha's last pan-India flick, Yashoda, which opened to 3.50 crore gross on its first day. Shakuntalam is made on a budget of 65-70 crore, and looking at the opening numbers, it is set for a disaster run at the box office.
