DRISHYAM had poor first day collections of around 5-5.25 crore nett. The film did have better evening collections as the morning collections suggested an even lower total. Still for a film that has released in over 2200 screens its a very poor total. The film fared relatively better in Mumbai circuit.

The collections are the lowest for an Ajay Devgn starrer for some time TEZZ in early 2012 had opened to 3.25 crore nett but since then its been a run of films that opened at around 10 crore nett with SINGHAM RETURNS going over 30 crore nett. The business of DRISHYAM in West Bengal and Bihar was awful and in many cities of the North it was second to BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN.

The film will need huge growth on Saturday and really has to get upto around 8 crore nett on Saturday which still will not be a good number but at least the trend will be there and the film can at least have a chance. Normal growth of 25-30% will not help much due to such a weak opening.
------------------------
DRISHYAM showed good growth on Saturday with collections 40% better on Saturday than Friday. The first two day business of DRISHYAM is as follows.
Paid Previews - 50,00,000
Friday - 5,25,00,000
Saturday - 7,50,00,000
TOTAL - 13,25,00,000

The film will be dependent on getting a Monday which is close to its Friday figure. This will give it a decent first week total and can build on it in week two
