KIS KISKO PYAAR KAROON is looking set for a good first day collection of around 7.5-8 crore nett. The film has been aided by a holiday for Bakri Eid but even taking that factor out which has probably added around 30-35% on the collections, its still a good start on real value.

The opening in terms of morning occupancies can be placed in a similar range to films like BROTHERS and TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS. The only films that actually opened better than Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon this year are BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, ABCD 2 and WELCOME BACK in terms of early show occupancies.

The film has done very well in North and Central India and Gujarat also scoring but the business on Saturday is crucial as it will come to its actual level without holiday backing. A similar number would be very good and even a drop of 15-20% will do but a larger drop will be a matter of concern.

CALENDAR GIRLS had poor first day with collections around 1.50 crore nett. The film is low budget but these collections are very low considering it was a holiday. The film fared very badly all over with Mumbai circuit having the best collections. BHAAG JOHNNY fared much worse with very bad collections as they may not even reach 25 lakhs nett.
