Former adult star Sunny Leone dancing on Baby Doll and Yo Yo Honey Singh's Char Bottle Vodka seems to have worked in favour of Ekta Kapoor's Ragini MMS 2 . The film, promoted as horrex ( horror and sex), is going strong at the box office as the film collected Rs.24.5 crore in the opening weekend.
The film has emerged as a surprise winner at the ticket windows, and is the third best weekend opener of the year, after Salman Khan's Jai Ho ( Rs.58.50 crore) and Gunday (Rs.43 crore).
The movie hit the screens on March 21, the same day when most people were glued to their television screens to watch the India versus Pakistan cricket match, held in Bangladesh, as part of the ICC World Twenty20 Tournament.
Despite the tough competition from the ' match of all matches', the Sunny- starrer film managed to get a decent opening at the box office.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "# RaginiMMS2 - Fri 8.43 cr, Sat 7.29 cr, Sun 8.78 cr. Total: Rs. 24.5 cr nett. India biz." Ragini MMS 2 faced competition from films like Rajat Kapoor's critically applauded Aankhon Dekhi , Gangs of Ghost and Nagesh Kukunoor's Lakshmi . Despite being panned by the critics, Ragini MMS 2 film got a wide audience in its opening weekend.
" I think I will be praying to every god in every religion that @ RaginiMMS_ 2 keeps going strong today!" tweeted an excited Sunny, who is of course happy that the film is doing great at the box office.
This is Sunny's first film which has seen success at the box office after her debut film, Pooja Bhatt's Jism 2 , and Sachin Joshi's Jackpot failed to make a mark, giving little push to her Bollywood career.
" Ragini MMS 2 has sex, horror, comedy and hit music to ensure that it will prove a hit at the box office," trade analyst Komal Nohta tweeted.
Well, it does seem like the audience have enjoyed the liberal dose of sex and horror that Ekta Kapoorproduced sequel to Pawan Kriplani's Ragini MMS had to offer.
