THAPPAD had a poor first day as it collected 2.75- 3 crore nett though it was better than the likes of PANGA and SAAND KI AANKH. The collections are mainly from Delhi NCR as that area including the NCR centres of East Punjab like Gurgaon and Faridabad are over 80 lakhs nett. These collections are from just 100 theatres.

The film will need good pick up in places like Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore to have any chance of doing well and this pick up could come on Saturday but whether it can last after that is another story. The film looked devoid of entertainment and music so on those accounts its not too bad of a number but on the other side it had those early four star reviews coming well before release which can help collections at these low levels.

Its going to be Monday when it will known that are these reviews any close to reality or like normal when they try to push certain films no matter how bad they may be.

The first day collections of similar films to THAPPAD are as follows.
Chhapaak - 4,46,00,000
Mardaani 2 - 3,75,00,000
Thappad - 2,85,00,000 apprx
Panga - 1,81,00,000
Saand Ki Annkh - 47,00,000 (pre diwali)
