'Crakk' box office collection: Vidyut Jammwal's film sees decent opening
What's the story
Aditya Datt's Crakk - Jeetegaa Toh Jiyegaa! premiered on Friday, clashing with Yami Gautam Dhar's Article 370.
Due to Cinema Lovers Day, tickets were available for as low as Rs. 99, which helped the extreme sports action film get into the groove and take a decent opening of Rs. 4 crore (early estimates).
It stars Vidyut Jammwal, Arjun Rampal, Nora Fatehi, and Amy Jackson.
Plot
This is what happens in 'Crakk'
Crakk is about Siddhu (Jammwal), a Mumbaikar who wants to compete in a deadly, extreme task-based game in Poland called "Maidaan," run by Dev (Rampal).
Dev receives sadistic pleasure when people die violent deaths during these games and, for some reason, is also working toward a nuclear bomb to make his separate country.
Jackson plays a police officer, while Fatehi plays Siddhu's girlfriend, Alia.
