SHUBH MANGAL ZYADA SAAVDHAN had good first day collections of 9-9.25 crore nett but that has came on Mahashivratri which takes the shine off the collections as real value goes down towards the 7 crore nett range. The collections are pretty much in the range of BALA and DREAM GIRL which were 9.32 crore and 9.43 crore nett respectively. It is the the third highest opening day for and Ayushmann Khurana starrer but should have been his first double digit opening day due to Mahashivratri if it really performed on day one.

The film has done well in Delhi/UP and pretty well in East Punjab while other circuits are just decent but has managed the third best opening day of 2020 after TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR and LOVE AAJ KAL. Its a healthy first day number and if we take real value as 7 crore nett and the film can show good Saturday growth from the real value, it will be set for a good weekend of 30 crore nett plus which is a good result for the film. Last week saw LOVE AAJ KAL crash huge from a holiday benefit on day one but it will not happen here.

BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP had a decent number of 5 crore nett and this film was better in places like Nizam/Andhra and Bengal. But the real value of around 3.75-4 crore nett is on the lower side for this genre. The numbers should have been a little higher due to the holiday. Again it will depend on where the film can go on Saturday and it needs to do more business than Friday to stay in the race. There will not be huge growth but there are chances the film can go a little higher than Friday.

The film has recorded very poor collections in North multiplexes where SHUBH MANGAL ZYADA SAAVDHAN is probably doing treble the business of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP.
