GOOD NEWWZ collected 17.50 crore nett on day one as the collections picked up in the evening. There was a little hit in UP due to the protests and so collections are a little lower than the earlier estimates. The film has done huge very strong business in Delhi NCR and East Punjab.

The evenings picked up well in all metros as the morning collections did look a little lower which means there should be solid growth today and maybe it could even make ground where it has been hit due to protests in UP. The film has not been hit as bad as DABANGG 3 like last week but there is a hit.

The low collections have come in Gujarat/Saurashtra, Bihar  and Nizam/Andhra and here the film has the potential to pick up well especially Nizam/Andhra. UP is low because of protests but these two are low as the film does not have much initial value due being a North based film and an urban comedy.

Akshay Kumar has already three HITS behind him this year and this one has a good chance to become the fourth as collections should show a solid weekend and then there is a holiday factor till the end of the year to push the film till Wednesday. The East Punjab ratio has come in high at almost 15% probably as the presence of Diljit Dosanjh helped the film here by around 60-70 lakhs.
