It was last Friday when Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds locked horns with Abhay Deol starrer Naanu Ki Jaanu at the ticket windows. Surprising the trade gurus with its numbers, Nanu Ki Jaanu clearly won the battle in this opening weekend.
Starring Ishaan Khatter and Malavika Mohanan in the lead, Beyond The Clouds, opened to a slower run at the box-office in its opening weekend. The film garnered Rs 1.30 crore being an unconventional themed film.

On the other hand, Faraz Haider directorial Nanu Ki Jaanu enjoyed a slightly better opening weekend minting Rs 3.10 crore.
However, Beyond The Clouds received many glowing reviews and Ishaan received a huge shout out from various Bollywood stars and critics for his stellar performance in the film.
Below are the collections of both the films:

But both are failing to leave any mark at the Box Office.
Disappointingly, ‘Nanu Ki Jaanu’ was an important film for Patralekhaa as was ‘Beyond The Clouds’ for Ishaan Khatter as he made his debut with the film.
Varun Dhawan’s ‘October’, which has just entered its second week, has already collected 32 crores net and is expected to fare much better than both the films combined, thus leaving very little scope for the other two movies to grow in terms of collections.
