Comedian Kapil Sharma¡¯s third acting stint Zwigato is in theatres now. Released on 17th March, this Nandita Das directorial is earning critical acclaim for its sensitive depiction of a delivery agent's life. Although the film is yet to score a promising number at the box office, the makers are doing their best to build the buzz.

Joined by Kapil and his co-star Shahana Goswami, the special screening was organized in order to celebrate the delivery rider¡¯s hard work and dedication. The PR quotes, ¡°It was a way of showing appreciation for the essential services provided by these riders, who work tirelessly to ensure that people receive their deliveries on time.¡±
Zwigato struggles to earn each penny amid films like Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkar (crossed 100 crores) and Pathaan (crossed 540 crores) running in theatres successfully. Kapil¡¯s film clashed with Rani Mukherjee¡¯s Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway in theatres but is failing to match with that film as well.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweets, ¡°Zwigato witnesses an upward trend on Day 2 [+44.19%], but the 2-day total remains very low due to its biz on Day 1¡ Biz needs to have a miraculous turnaround/jump on Day 3 for a respectable weekend total¡ Fri 43 lacs, Sat 62 lacs. Total: ? 1.05 cr. #India biz.¡±
He told Rediff, ¡°I recently told my wife, if this film doesn't work, I will not lose anything. But if it succeeds and is a hit then I will get a lot from it. People will say 'Kapil ne bahut accha kaam kiya ha¡¯. It is important that more and more people watch the film. Comedy shows are my bread and butter. But because of that, I was motivated to look for something else to do.¡±

¡°Socha kitchen safe hai. Pange lete hain thode se. Someone asked weren't you afraid? I said why should I be afraid? Woh dukaan to apni chal hee rahi hai. I am just adding on to that,¡± he concluded. Kapil with a successful TV career already has 1 hit (Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karun) and 1 flop (Firangi) in his kitty.
