Last Man In Tower Box Office Collection Day 1: Manoj Bajpayee Starrer Opens Below Governor, Lands Among 2026’s Lowest Openers

Manoj Bajpayee and Boman Irani’s latest film, Last Man In Tower, had a quiet release in theatres. The film did not have much pre-release buzz owing to a lack of promotion. However, this film is headlined by a fine cast but fell short of generating buzz. The film is based on Aravind Adiga’s book of the same name.

How Much Did Last Man In Tower Earn At The Box Office On Opening Day?

The film’s narrative is set in Mumbai and addresses the city’s redevelopment issue. However, with almost no buzz or awareness of the film’s release, its box office numbers have reflected this. The film earned just 3 lakh net on its opening day. Unless the film receives strong word-of-mouth, it will fail to survive past the opening week.

Opens Below Governor

Manoj Bajpayee’s recent releases have mostly been direct-to-OTT releases. While he is one of the finest actors in the country, his box-office streak has been subpar. His last theatrical release was Governor, which was released earlier this year. The film earned just 1.1 crore net in India. Facing direct competition from Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga, Kangana Ranaut’s Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, and the horror sequel Haunted 3D, Manoj Bajpayee’s film surrendered.

Trending

Now, Last Man In Tower has given tough competition to Governor in the lowest-openings-of-the-year category. The film has probably seen the lowest opening of any Bollywood film this year. While the critical reception for the film has been positive, it remains to be seen whether it translates into box office numbers in the coming days.
