As per Ormax Media’s Moviescope predictive model, Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan is expected to have a nett weekend opening of Rs. 17 Crores, assuming a trouble free release across 1200 cinemas.

Considering the scale of the film it’s an average to good opening. Prakash Jha’s last film released on the same subject  – Rajneeti, released across 1356 cinemas last year with an opening weekend of Rs. 33.75 Crores. However, Raajneeti had a much bigger starcast, including Ajay Devgan, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
