While Runway 34 had earnings of Rs 3 cr on its opening day across India,  Heropanti2 earned around Rs 6.5 cr on its opening day..

Inspired by true incidents, “Runway 34” revolves around Captain Vikrant Khanna played by Ajay Devgn, a flying prodigy, whose flight takes a mysterious course after take-off from an international destination.

Directed and produced by Ajay Devgn, Runway 34  features  Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh, Angira Dhar and Aakanksha Singh.

The makers recently released the second trailer of the film.  Earlier, motion posters of the film featuring Ajay Devggn and Amitabh Bachchan in stylish avatars were also unveiled by the makers.

Ajay Devgn plays a pilot in the film while Amitabh Bachchan plays an investigative officer.

Earlier titled Mayday,  Runway 34 , an edge of the seat drama, has created tremendous buzz ahead of its release due to its excellent VFX effects  and presence of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgn.

The trailer and promos of the film have created tremendous buzz among cinegoers.

Infact, Runway 34 has been rated in a recent survey as among the most anticipated Indian movies.

The other film of the week Heropanti2 too performed below expectations at the box office.  Despite the presence of Bollywood hunk Tiger Shroff and a liberal dose of action stunts and special effects,  Heropanti2 earned Rs 6.5 cr on its opening day, the lowest opening taken by a Tiger Shroff film.

A sequel to the 2018 film Heropanti, Heropanti2,  produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Ahmed Khan,  stars Tiger Shroff!  Tara Sutaria and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles.

The trailer and promos of the film have created a lot of buzz among cinegoers.
