'Lucknow Central' box office collection Day 1: Farhan Akhtar starrer opens with Rs. 1.75 crore

Farhan Akhtar starrer film, 'Lucknow Central', a thriller inspired by true events has opened up with a not so good collection of Rs. 1.75 crore at the box office, reports Boxofficeindia.com.
'Simran' and 'Lucknow Central' both had shared similar screens at the cities. However, both the films had a dull start at the openings. Maybe word of mouth might help the films to cash in more moolah over the weekend.
