Action Jackson has opened to below-average response at the box office on Friday. Considering the budget, director and star-cast of the film, the opening at multiplexes in big cities was very poor. At mass centres, the morning shows were decent, but much lower than trade expectations.
The costs of the Ajay Devgn – Sonakshi Sinha starrer are on the higher side – the film was produced and marketed at around Rs 95-100 crore, making it the costliest non-holiday release of 2014 after Salman Khan’s Jai Ho.
The film had to collect around Rs 14-15 crore on its opening for it to have any chance of recovering costs with mixed to good word-of-mouth, but looking at the occupancy in the morning and noon, recovery will prove to be extremely difficult unless the film picks up tremendously in the night and over the weekend.
Update 7PM: Noon shows have picked up slightly at multiplexes, but the overall occupancy at most big centres that we tracked, continued to be poor at 25-30%. Anything less than 10 crore on Friday could well seal its fate on Day 1 itself.

AJ ruined my day..i want my money back.
@SHt, listen idiot, Ajay is a superstar who have guts to release his movies Holiday and non Holiday so stfu.
All websites are saying AJ will collect minimum 13 cr and that is not bad for a film who is non holiday release. ??
Its good that these non-sense films are outrightly rejected. People are tired of these masala films and now AJ poor show just shows audience will not accept such stupid films.
AJ sureshoot flop, tevar also go same away, people are not interested in sonakshi
@ArjunKapoor ur too much overacting in ur comments lyk Kajuur Kapoor don’t worry Tevar will get even lower opening then r Rajkumar
after the failure of jai ho, eros international was in a big loss… now what will happen to these guys? its another set back for them…
WORST MOVIE IS ALWAYS WORST AND ACTION JACKSON IS WORST MOVIE I HAVE NEVER SEEN…………….
IF U PLANNING FOR WATCHING AJ I SUGGEST U TO DONT WASTE UR MONEY OR TIME ON SUCH CRAP MOVIE

i think akshay kumar ko hona chahiye tha is movie me 200 cr pass kr leti
It bound to happen.From the trailer I know that movie will flop,the excessive action sequence,poor dialauges when even the master of dialogue delivery Ajay Devgn failed to impress.I don’t know what is the public response but if public liked the film than I want that movie shouldn’t flop just because of critic rating but if the film pointing towards women objectyfying like the Indicine terned than it be shamed for lead pair they accepted these kind of cheapness.Overall Being a Ajay admirer I want hr will back with good content film and show his skills again.
There are many akki fans roaming here who hardly scene at time of entertainment released but here guys like @armaan, @akki Katrina etc kind of guys keep commenting bullshit here and there, just because baby have positive vibe and lookind dams interesting they are shouting and abusing young actors like varun,ranbir,ranveer,arjun etc unnecessarily atleast @babaji and @aeeyy are true akki lovers they always stand for akki whether his film did good or bad unlike these @akshay is god,@akki kat,@arman etc kind of losers.
Waiting for Pk and baby.

All the best for AJ.
@ajay rocks
You should go on saturday too to see the film. now only you few AD fans can save the film by going to watch every show for at least one week.
This is all about stardom and content. Akshay and Ajay; their films not worked by their stardom. Ajay had rohit shetty while Akshay had Priyadarshan. also the super hit remake content also helped them to deliver big hits. Only the content worked .
Akshay and Ajay are not really super star. If they are their opening collections will be higher.
The real super stars of bollywood according to their Star Value;
1-Sharukh Khan
2-salman Khan
3-AAmir Khan
4-Hrithik Roshan
@Ajay rocks..i read the whole review and then came to conclusion..also I have watched Naayak..that’s why I am telling this..also they have made some changes here and there with respect to story..let me tell you the roles from AJ..
Ramcharan-Ajay Devgan
Kajal Aggarwal-Sonakshi
Amala Paul-Yami Gautham
Kunal Roy Kapoor-Brahmanandam
Manasvi Mamgai is the new addition in this movie..
As expected!
Prabhu Deva is full of crass humor. Wanted released when masala genre wasn’t very popular. Hence it pulled off. With RR and Rajkumar, Akki and Shahid gave their first masala film. Again it had some freshness.
Here Ajay has been bulldozing his fans with masalas one after the other. TO be frank, Satyagraha was also a masala which tried to cash in on Anna Hazare’s movement.
This will surely be his 2nd flop! Want him to stop directing non sense and choreograph songs. He is only good at that!
@rohit u know what is interstellar budget 1000cr… Who will give 1000cr to indian filmmakers? I think u….
@Sidcinemafan – That was just an example. The point is we CAN make good movies, but we don’t.
CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks. I’ve struggled with insomnia for years, and after tiring CBD like pro the first once upon a time, I for ever knowing a full night of calm sleep. It was like a bias had been lifted off my shoulders. The calming effects were indulgent despite it profound, allowing me to drift off naturally without sensibility woozy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime apprehension, which was an unexpected but acceptable bonus. The cultivation was a flash shameless, but nothing intolerable. Blanket, CBD has been a game-changer for my sleep and uneasiness issues, and I’m thankful to procure discovered its benefits.
