Dhaakad is yet to hit even Rs. 10 crore mark.
Kangana Ranaut’s Dhaakad, despite being Bollywood’s venture into a woman action star, has not been able to connect with the audiences. The movie has been suffering at the Box Office while its competitor Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is breaking records. With Rs. 14 crores on its opening day, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is the second highest grossing post-pandemic film after Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi. The budget for both Dhaakad and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 were also at par but Kangana charged almost as much as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 opening day.
According to Releasing Now, Kangana was paid Rs. 10 crores for Dhaakad. That is just Rs. 4 crores lesser than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s opening day Box Office collection.
Arjun is the male lead in Dhaakad. He was paid Rs. 3 crores for his role. However, since he had a lesser screen space as compared to Kangana, they were paid almost equally.
Divya has given her all to Dhaakad and it shows. Many have praised Divya over even Kangana. However, the actress was paid a mere sum of Rs. 30 lakhs.
Saswata became a known name in Bollywood since his debut in 2012 with Vidya Balan’s Kahaani. He was now seen in Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai’s Dhaakad. The actor took home Rs. 40 lakhs.
One of the most loved actors currently, Sharib Hashmi is also a part of Dhaakad and ironically, he is one of the loving characters in the film. Sharib’s popularity went up after he was seen in Manoj Bajpayee’s The Family Man but it didn’t seem to have reflected in his pay. The actor took home Rs. 30 lakhs, same as Divya.
