Namaste England

Namaste England performed poorly on its first day, collecting Rs 10.5 million despite being released on a holiday. There were certain issues with distributors in Madhya Pradesh as multiplex chains did not allow the film to release in single screens, giving preference to the other film releasing on the same day, Badhaai Ho. By the second and third days, the film drew in about 1.4 crore more, to bring the total to approximately Rs. 1.90 crore. By 22 October 2018, four days after its release, the film managed to make only Rs. 25.5 million. In overseas the film was released in 58 screens but opened with ₹5321,000. This was concerning to analysts who had noted that it was released on a Thursday, and had the benefit of an extended weekend; they were also surprised that the combined star power of both Kapoor and Chopra, who ordinarily would be able to draw audiences by name alone, did not create a strong box office draw for this film. They concluded that poor reviews, with accompanying poor word of mouth, prevented the film from earning as much as it otherwise could have. On 26 October, the film was pulled from cinemas just before the start of its second week, since box office collections were considerably poorer than expected (Rs. 30 million) for the entire first week. As the film had not managed to make even Rs. 40 million, its distributors decided to limit its release early.
