MAIN TERA HERO was below the mark on day one as it took an average opening and collections went down badly in the evening as India played in a very important cricket match. The film needed to open well to counteract the cricket like RAGINI MMS 2 did.

The first day collections were around the 5.50 crore nett as per early estimates which is not that good but Saturday will tell how much did the cricket match affect the film.

The film has cost over 40 crore to promote and release and so the growth will have to be huge on Saturday. Growth of 10%  would have been expected if Friday was not affected by the cricket. Hence, now there will be a potential for 30-40% growth. However, the problem will resurface on Sunday since India has reached the finals. Hence, the collections of MAIN TERA HERO might be hit hard again.

This is the third time in a row that a release of Balaji Motion Pictures has been hit by the cricket (SHAADI KE SIDE EFFECTS, RAGINI MMS 2 and now MAIN TERA HERO. RAGINI MMS 2 withstood the cricket onslaught and now it remains to be seen if MAIN TERA HERO can do the same.
