MARDAANI showed decent growth on Saturday as it improved around 35-40% from the collections on Friday. The improvement was pretty healthy in the metros. The approx first two days business is as follows
Friday - 3,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,75,00,000
TOTAL - 8,25,00,000

The Saturday business gives the film a chance to hold on Monday but then the level it can sustain at on the weekdays will be important if it is to hold screenings into week two.
-----------------------------------
MARDAANI grossed around 14.25 crore nett in its first weekend. The weekend was low but the trend was decent with decent growth on Saturday and a further up tick on Sunday. If the film can hold over the weekdays and do some decent business after the first week it can put up a decent lifetime figure.

The film was best in Mumbai, Delhi city, East Punjab, Kolkata and Bangalore while the rest did not really perform. The weekend was lower than SINGHAM RETURNS which was in its second week and did not have a great second weekend.

MARDAANI has managed a better opening weekend that other films like QUEEN and DEDH ISHQIYA where the only star is the female lead.
-----------------------------------
MARDAANI had a good hold on Monday as it collected around 2.25 crore nett taking its four day total to over 16.50 crore nett. The drop from Friday is around 30-35% which is good though Friday collections were on the lower side.

The film has fared best in Mumbai and West Bengal. There have two major female orientated successes in recent times one of them being KAHAANI which also outperformed in Mumbai and Wet Bengal. The other major female orientated success QUEEN did best in North.

It will be important for MARDAANI to hold collections on the weekdays at around the 2 crore nett level which may enable to get enough screenings in week two to get around the 30 crore nett mark for lifetime business which would be a decent result.
