ME JOE B CARVALHO grossed around 75 lakhs nett on day with poor collections all over. The film is unlikely to get even a 3 crore nett weekend. It follows the trend of a dull start for the first release of the year. Its been the same story for thirty years barring a couple of exceptions.

SHOLAY 3D did better as it collected around 1.25 crore nett and it was showing on less than 50% of the screens as compared to ME JOE B CARVALHO. The film should do better over the weekend and these are fair collections for a film which is 38 years old and had so many television screenings. There is novelty of 3D but it is also showing at many places on 2D which is the same SHOLAY of 1975 with possibly better picture quality and sound.
