What's the story
Sarfira, the recent film starring Akshay Kumar, experienced a significant box office surge on Tuesday, bringing in ₹38 lakh.
This increase is partially attributed to promotional offers such as 'Buy One Get One Free' rolled out by multiplexes and ticket booking platforms.
Despite receiving positive reviews, the film's total collection currently stands at a mere ₹21.85 crore.
