TE3N has minted Rs 2.61 cr at the Indian box office.

TE3N had a very slow start at the box office.

TE3N, which brought together the Shahenshah of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan on screen, had a very slow start at the box office. The movie, which was released over 1169 screens across India and 373 screens overseas on Friday, has minted Rs 2.61 cr at the Indian box office. In the international market, the movie managed to collect Rs 1.90 cr on the first day of its release. (Read: TE3N movie review: The plot of this Big B, Nawazuddin starrer has too much fuzz)

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared TE3N’s box office collections on Twitter.

Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote: “Its treatment does both place and characters in, turning everything lackadaisical. In its attempt to be less ‘dark’, loud background music is added in at each step. The plot has too much fuzz, and the characters are all surface : Bachchan’s droopy facial lines, Balan’s stolid-cop-stomping—these painstakingly drawn outlines call attention to themselves, but do not afford us inner details. Why is her full-fledged act termed a guest appearance? That mystery too stays unsolved. Only Nawaz’s guilt-ridden priest breaks free once in a way, and a few red herrings infuse some intrigue, especially towards the end.”
