'The Vvaan' Opens With Rs 8 Crore on Day 1
Listen to the story
A new movie called 'The Vvaan: Force of the Forest' opened in cinemas.
The film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia.
On its first day, the movie made Rs 8 crore.
This money is called the box office collection.
The movie is an eco-thriller. This means it has a story about nature and danger.
A movie review said Sidharth Malhotra works hard in the film.
But the review said the story is lopsided. This means it is not balanced.
Another film, 'The Paradise', is also in cinemas now.
'The Paradise' made much less money on its second day.
Its earnings dropped by 57%.
A drop means the number becomes smaller.
Both films are competing for viewers in cinemas this week.
