Aarakshan opened to a decent response on Friday with all India collections in the Rs 5 crore range. About Rs 1.5 crores was lost due to the film’s no-show at three important states in India.
There is relief for the producers though, as the ban has been revoked as of Saturday afternoon, in two states – Andhra Pradesh and Punjab.
In Uttar Pradesh, the bigger market, the film is unlikely to open in theaters before the Supreme Court’s verdict on Tuesday.
Prakash Jha, the producer and director of Aarakshan, was elated “It is a relief that the film is finally going to release in Andhra Pradesh and Punjab. I’m overwhelmed by the show of support from the common citizens of India who are going to watch the film. It is reassuring to know that the right to freedom of expression is a real right for every Indian citizen. We are working towards getting the film released in Uttar Pradesh as well”
After the usual Saturday – Sunday weekend, Monday being Independence day will benefit Aarakshan. The film is likely to collect around 20 – 23 crores during its extended 4 day weekend.
ARAKSHAN IS FLOP ………………..BAKWAAS……………BUT SINGHAM IS GOING TO ROCK
Arakshan is very slow type of movie.
Not Bad… !!
2.5/5 rating by me
Aarakshan collected more than 26 crores despite ban in the biggest state of India (UP) …it could have collected more ….Loved the performance of BIGB after BHTBaap…Such a versatile actor he is…..KBC 5 is rocking and so is BIGB !!!!

Aarakshan is a super movie. It shows reality. Amitabh played a nice role and again Prakash jha showed his masterpiece direction. I LOVE HIS MOVIES.
The state govt should not ban this movie or any movie in his state bcoz the generation who is going to see the movies are well knowledgable and educated.
it is the worst film of the century and the first song of the film is badly sung and any film that starts witha a song always flops
it is a bhenans film
ban or no ban it is an aimless film!!!
Not a bad move by jha the film could have been more better some dialogues are really chilling but it provides no scope to saif
