Sushant Singh Rajput’s Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is playing quite safe at the box office. The murder mystery, that released on Friday got a decent opening, collecting Rs 4.20 crore on its first day.  However, the second day figures saw a steady growth. Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and gave out its overall box office numbers.

The Dibakar Banerjee directorial released across 1240 screens in India. However, the box office figures are fluctuating for the fact that Paul Walker’s much anticipated film Furious 7 released just one day before Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! hit screens. Of course, we can’t compare the two genres. But the number of screens certainly play a role. Furious 7 is believed to have got the widest release in India, as far as Hollywood films are concerned which explains why the racing franchise has already shot up to a whopping box office figure of Rs 32.75 crore in two days.
