DOCTOR G saw good growth on Saturday as collections went up 35-40% and it collected 4.75-5 crore nett. The film had done well on Friday evening which led to lesser growth on Saturday evening. This growth on Saturday has become the issue for films in this zone. DOCTOR G has collected 8.50 crore nett over the first two days.

Before the pandemic, a film which opened at 3-4 crore nett could easily see growth in the 60-80% range on Saturday but this has just not happened in the last year or so. It could be content wise that film has not come yet but for these films which are not going to open, to survive, that Saturday growth has to start coming.

DOCTOR G will now need to see solid growth on Sunday to keep it in with a chance of a good hold on Monday but that will not be easy as in the higher growth areas it is likely that DOCTOR (Hindi) will be the first choice. The better performing areas for DOCTOR G like Delhi NCR and Mumbai city tend to see limited growth on Sunday.

The two day collections of DOCTOR G are as follows.

Friday - 3,60,00,000

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

------------------------------

DOCTOR G collected a near 14 crore nett total for its first weekend which compares well with other recent Ayushmann Khurana starrers like CHANDIGARH KARE AASHIQUI (11.39 crore nett) and ANEK (5.40 crore nett) but the figures are on the lower side.

The opening day was respectable but the movement over the weekend should have been more. The key was the Saturday where you really have to get 60% plus up as for a film where a huge ratio of business is coming from Delhi NCR, Mumbai city and Bangalore, the growth on Sunday will also be limited.

The film was kept at normal rates over the weekend and the makers will also keep the weekday rates normal unlike other films which had concessional rates over the weekend and will do the same over the weekdays. If this film had gone for concessional rates, then the collections would have been less for sure. 

The three day collections of DOCTOR G are as follows.

Friday - 3,60,00,000

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
