Begum Jaan ’s first weekend box-office collection is as follows: On Friday 3.94 crores, Saturday 3.51 crores and Sunday 4.03 crores. Therefore, the total collection is rupees Rs. 11.48 crores in its opening weekend.
Directed by Srijit Mukherji , Begum Jaan also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Guahar Khan and Pallavi Sharda, among other prominent actors.
