Also starring Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor, "Shamshera" was billed as a big scale action-drama set in the 1800s.
Trade experts had expected the film to work wonders at the box office as it marked the return of Ranbir Kapoor to the big screen after his 2018 blockbuster "Sanju".
But "Shamshera" started slow and has since been unable to register any major spike in its collection.
The film chronicles the story of a dacoit tribe, headed by Ranbir Kapoor who plays the dual role of Shamshera and his son, Balli fighting for their right and independence from the British.
