Mumbai, Nov 11 (IBNS): Bollywood's biggest anticipated movie of 2018 'Thugs of Hindostan' faced a fall at the box office on Day 2.

While the movie made a whopping business of Rs. 50.75 crore on its opening day, that is Thursday, Friday was grim at the box office.

The craze received a jolt in multiplexes even as single screens are doing well.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "And the DECLINE begins... #ThugsOfHindostan slips on Day 2, facing a fall during #Diwali holidays... Mass belt / single screens are holding better, but the cracks are already showing at plexes... Day 3 [Sat] and Day 4 [Sun] are extremely crucial... #TOH"

"#ThugsOfHindostan has to show a positive upturn on Day 3 [Saturday], else its sustainability from Day 5 [Mon] onwards will be extremely doubtful... One thing is crystal clear: #TOH has NOT met the monumental expectations... The BO numbers are doing the talking now," posted Adarsh.

#TOH," he wrote.

The film stars acting legend Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood veterans Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif along with young Fatima Sana Shaikh, who has earned fame for her role in Dangal.

The film takes audience back to the days of British Raj in India in a plot with conflicts between the East India Company and the Indians who wanted to free their country from Britain.

Bachchan, who is playing the role of Khudabaksh, fights for India's freedom. Aamir plays the character of Firangi.

The character of Lord Clive, who is the villain in the film, has been portrayed by British actor Lloyd Owen.

Katrina, who is Suraiyaa in the film, could be seen in a glamarous avatar with her dancing skills.

Fatima's character has been named as Zafira.

Thugs of Hindostan is the first film where Bachchan and Aamir are sharing screen space. Aamir had earlier worked with Fatima in Dangal, which released in 2016.

Thugs of Hindostan, which was originally shot in Hindi, has been dubbed in two other languages, Tamil and Telegu.
