Box office : Week 1
Box office : Week of release
The magic of Apaharan
When we started working on 'Apaharan', we hoped to craft a film that would highlight a gripping contemporary reality. We hoped the film would appeal to all.
There were nervous palpitations too, which increased in intensity as the release date came closer.
IIFI hosted Apaharan's premiere in Goa. Then, Apaharan had a worldwide release on December 2, 2005. The audience and critics in equal measure have appreciated it nationally and internationally.
We had a feeling that Apaharan will do well, but the box office response has surpassed our imagination.
We are still in a wonderous state of surprise. If you look at the table below, you will know why:
