Naam Shabana day 8 box office collection: Taapsee Pannu-Akshay Kumar's film remains steady

Naam Shabana, starring Taapsee Pannu, remained steady at the domestic box office on its eighth day. The film is moving at a snail's pace at the box office but is still consistently bringing in the numbers.

On its eighth day, Naam Shabana collected about Rs 1.5 crore at the Indian box office.

After a slow start on Friday, March 31, Naam Shabana gradually drew the audience to the theatres, owing to the positive word-of-mouth publicity. Akshay Kumar's presence also boosted the film's overall collection.

The total eight-day collection of Naam Shabana stands at Rs 28.68 crore net (approximately). The spy-thriller is expected to enjoy a good run and attain a decent figure at the domestic market in the upcoming weekend since no big ticket films were released in theatres this Friday.
