TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS had a very strong first week grossing around 68.75 crore nett. It is the highest first week collection of 2015. The film added around 31 crore nett on the weekdays which is huge giving it a 45% ration on the weekdays when the norm is 30-35%.

The film is a blockbuster and just remains to be seen where the final business settles. It is assured to finish amongst the top twenty grossers ever and may even make it into the top fifteen. The film will be the highest grosser ever for a film costing less than 50 crore. The best at the moment are 2 STATES, EK VILLAIN and GRAND MASTI

The key for the film has been business in mass circuits. Rajasthan has clocked 4 crore nett and CI is at 2.50 crore nett. These figures are the difference between this and a film like 2 STATES which caters more to urban audience. It's the mass centres where the extra business will come from. Mumbai city, Bangalore may well end up less than 2 STATES but the difference in smaller cities will be huge in the favour of TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS.
