"Neerja," helmed by Ram Madhvani, is one of the most successful films of the recent time. The Sonam-starrer is also the second highest grosser of 2016 and is likely to retain that position until a release of big-budget film.
Meanwhile, Himesh Reshammiya starrer "Teraa Surroor" is set to roundup its box office collection at Rs 15 crore. The box office collection of the film has declined drastically and it looks like the new release "Rocky Handsome" might put a halt at its theatrical run.
