The historic action-drama released on May 25 and collected Rs 50.55 crore in 13 days.

It wrote, “13 Days…50 Crores…and Counting! #Parmanu U-N-S-T-O-P-P-A-B-L-E at the Box Office. #ParmanuCrosses50” An ecstatic John reshared the tweet and wrote along, “#Parmanu..What a journey…from a time not so long ago when the films release was under question, to all possible hurdles in our promotional campaign, to TODAY!!

</span>During the promotions of Parmanu, John had spoken to indianexpress.com about box office numbers and why a May release was the best thing they could ask for. “We are happy we are releasing this film in the month of May when the tests actually happened 20 years ago. So, sometimes things happen for the best. At the end of the day, box office tells how good or bad your film is, but yes, opening is how good or bad your marketing is. We are trying our best now to make ends meet and I think we are doing a pretty decent job and the buzz around the trailer is very positive,” he had said.
