Box-office report - Baby v/s Dolly Ki Doli
Box Office India Trade Network

BABY grossed 7.75 crore nett on day one which is a low total. The film opened slowly at 20-25% and went to around 50% in the evening but the jump was limited to metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Bangalore.

The film will have to show major growth on Saturday and Sunday and then the big holiday on Monday can also help. A minimum 50 crore nett total of the extended weekend was a must but here it looks like that is out of range unless the growth is phenomenal.

The promos gave it a niche feel especially considering the film is an action/thriller type and that has done the damage. HOLIDAY - A SOLIDER IS NEVER OFF DUTY was a similar type of film but the growth of business there was at multiplexes across the board and single screens started at a much higher level. Here key cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Indore, etc have just not performed. The best business has come in Mumbai, NCR and South.
----------------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI had a poor first day as it grossed around 1.75 crore nett on day one. The collections of KHOOBSURAT were 30% more as that film grossed 2.25 crore nett more.

The film was always going to suffer due to the clash with BABY and although BABY has not done well initially it would have still taken a 20-30% audience away from DOLLY KI DOLI. The film has fared a bit better in the Delhi NCR belt but even here collections are very low. The central belt and East are extremely dull.

The film should grow on Saturday but even if it outperforms and grows 40-50% on Saturday it will reach 2.50 crore nett which could have been the first day collection if it was solo release..
