ROMEO AKBAR WALTER had a low first day as it collected around the 5.25 crore nett mark. The last John Abraham film SATYAMEVA JAYATE had collected a huge 20 crore nett on day one. It was a national holiday but even allowing for the big holiday that film was a huge surprise.

The opening of ROMEO AKBAR WALTER is in that same range as films like ROCKY HANDSOME, PARMANU and the FORCE films and out of those PARMANU went on to do well but that film was more of a drama than an action thriller which meant more potential outside the youth crowd. It remains to be seen where ROMEO AKBAR WALTER goes. The growth was minimal on Friday evening but still Saturday should go upwards though probably not as much as it needs to.

The Hollywood release SHAZAM had ordinary collections on day with around 3 crore nett. This film can show big growth depending on how the metros take to it as the business is from predominantly high end multiplexes
