MIRZYA had a very dull first day recording collections in the 1.50-1.75 crore nett range. The opening was dull but you expect these type of content films to grow in the evening as the morning crowd will not be there for this type of film. Here it seems that the evening crowd has also not turned up for the film because it does not take much improvement from early evening onwards to change a 2 crore nett looking day into 3 crore nett. The North which should have done better has not really come out as they have probably taken it as a art film due to the theatrical trailer. The Saturday multiplex crowd should give it growth on Saturday but even if we assume it somehow gets 60-70% growth which day one trend does not suggest it is still not going anywhere.

The collections of MIRZYA on day one are in the range of much smaller films like MADAARI and FREAKY ALI. The director's last film BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG had a bigger opening day figure in Delhi/UP than MIRZYA across India. Even BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG did not open strongly in the morning though made big strides from afternoon shows onwards.

TUTAK TUTAK TUTIYA was also very poor with collections around 40-45 lakhs nett on day one and again there is not much the film can do unless Monday is double of Friday which does not happen in this era.

MSG THE WARRIOR - LION HEART also grossed around 1-1.25 crore nett but a lot of this was bulk bookings prior to release and like the previous films it will have a run in the North due to these bookings but its hard to tell whether the groups doing the bookings are actually turning up to theatres.
