AZHAR grossed 6-6.25 crore nett on its first day. The film should have been a little higher but but could not show any major growth at the big multiplexes in the evening. The film had opened better than films like KAPOOR & SONS and KI & KA but the evening growth was lower than those films.

The best collections for the film came in Nizam/Andhra which will top 40 lakhs nett and Mumbai which will be around 2 crore nett. The film was low in Delhi city, East Punjab and the Eastern India markets.

The film will have to show growth of 20-25% on Saturday which would probably give it a chance to have a decent run at the box office due to lack of releases in the next few weeks. The opening is the highest for an Emraan Hashmi starrer since RAAZ 3 which came in 2012.
