CHEF had an extremely poor first of 5 crore nett. With an open week its unlikely that the film will add much more after the first week even though its an empty week. The film will probably be the lowest Saif Ali Khan grosser since the millennium apart from duds like BEING CYRUS, EK HASINA THI and NEHLLE PE DEHLLA.

There is not much else to say though the list below will more or less explain how bad the film was in week one. Basically below are the films ranked 40-45 in week one this year and CHEF is in a very poor company.
40. Bank Chor - 6,89,00,000
41. Noor - 6,64,00,000
42. Haseena Parkar - 6,38,00,000
43. Chef - 5,00,00,000 apprx
44. Indu Sarkar - 4,39,00,000
45. Hind Ka Napak Ko Jawab : MSG 2 - 4,29,00,000
