John Abraham's spy thriller Romeo Akbar Walter witnessed an unexpected spike in its collection on Saturday. The film, which is directed by Robby Grewal, released last week on April 5 and took a decent opening of Rs 6 crore. Then over the first weekend, the film performed well and ended up making good money. But on Monday, RAW fell flat as it registered low collections and since then the espionage thriller was floating in the Rs 2 crore range at the box office on weekdays. However, the film witnessed an upward trend on second Saturday and did well at the ticket windows. Romeo Akbar Walter Box Office Collection Day 8: John Abraham's Latest Offering Rakes in Rs 34.24 Crore
