Singer Zubeen Garg’s final film Roi Roi Binale, released over a month after his death, has grossed over Rs 7 crore in India in three days, as per latest trade reports.

Released on 31 October, the musical went on to become one of the biggest Assamese openers at the box office with a Day 1 collection of Rs 1.85 crore nett in India, according to industry data-tracking platform Sacnilk.

While the film earned Rs 2 crore nett in India on Saturday, it collected Rs 2.28 crore nett domestically on Sunday, Sacnilk reported.
