HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI had a low first day grossing around 2.25 crore nett. The collections were better in the evening but remains to be seen if that can transform into a big jump today. The growth will be there for the film today but it depends on how big the growth is and can it go towards the 4 crore nett mark. Despite the low first day number, the film can't be written off just yet as the costs are low and a big jump over the weekend can see it through. The film has behaved much better in the North as expected with Delhi /UP and East Punjab being the best circuits by far. The opening day is the 25th best of the year and is similar to films like MADAARI and 1920 LONDON. Below are a list of films that opened to a similar to HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI and the positions for 2016.
20. Fitoor - 3,27,00,000

29. Teraa Surroor - 1,13,00,000
30. Raman Raghav 2.0 - 99,00,000

Generally its a list of flop films as not only did these films not open well but did not follow up with the required growth over the weekend and that is where HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI will have to differ if it is to go through.
------------------
HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI showed growth on Saturday but probably not enough growth to take it through. Saturday is the key day for these type of multiplex films that don't open and you have to show that big jump and follow up on Sunday. The jump is there for HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI at around 50% but its probably not big enough. The collections and the trend of the film is very similar to MADAARI, a film released a few weeks back. HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI has collections at a slightly higher level than that film. Below is the first two day business of HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI.
Friday - 2,25,00,000
Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 5,75,00,000
------------------
HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI had a fair trend in its first weekend though low collections. The film has grossed over 10 crore nett in its first weekend which is reasonable from the start it had. Below is the daily first weekend business of HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI.
Friday - 2,25,00,000
Saturday - 3,50,00,000
Sunday - 4,75,00,000
TOTAL - 10,50,00,000

The film really had to show more growth on Saturday but still all is not lost for the film yet and Monday has to come in around the first day mark which could take the film to success. The weekend has scored better than films like MADAARI and 1920 LONDON which had similar first day business as HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI. MADAARI went from 2 crore nett first day to 9.25 crore nett weekend while 1920 LONDON went from 2.50 crore nett first day to 7.75 crore nett weekend.

HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI has had a low weekend at an all India level but Delhi/NCR and East Punjab have managed average collections due to the local flavour and the growth of business on Saturday and Sunday. The costs of the film are reasonable and so it is all dependent on the Monday. If it can get around 2 crore nett and go on from there for a decent 2-3 week run it may turn out to be a surprise success.
