Sarfira box office collection Day 3: Akshay Kumar starrer Sarfira took a slow start at the box office by collecting 2.50 crore. The film saw more than 70% spike on Saturday and now even on Sunday, the film maintained its performance and stood solid at the box office. However, the performance of the film is still not considered exceptionally well given the budget of the film, which is around Rs 100 crore.
