DAAWAT-E-ISHQ and KHOOBSURAT were poor on day one as they grossed 3.75 crore nett and 2.50 crore nett respectively. The collections were low all over with the wide release of DAAWAT-E-ISHQ in Delhi/UP helping it a little in that territory as it was best.

KHOOBSURAT was best at premium multiplexes where it had similar collections to DAAWAT-E-ISHQ but elsewhere it was well behind. It also performed best in Delhi/UP thanks to Delhi multiplexes. Although both films got the release needed in terms of screens the clash did affect collections of both films as both were for the youth and therefore the audience at multiplexes was split.

Mumbai was under performer for both as the biggest circuit recorded low numbers. Saturday is all important for the two films and big growth will be needed to make any headway at the box office.
