TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA did pretty well on day one collecting in the 6.5-6.75 crore nett range on as collections improved post the morning shows. Its a decent collection especially considering the morning initial though its less than ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI, JUGJUGG JEEYO and SATYAPREM KI KATHA though the first two named are bigger films.

The film put up its best numbers in the urban centres especially Delhi NCR and Bangalore. The core Hindi circuits did not collect well as the subject will not relate much as its that typical Hindi rom com with a certain upper middle class glamorous look which worked well before the pandemic but has a lesser audience now.

Still, the film has done well enough to give it a chance as there should be good growth on Saturday and then the crucial Sunday which has to push up if the film is to have a chance to sustain post the weekend. Obviously, its not expected the mass audiences will come on Sunday but the families in the metros and mini metros will be a must and if they come out, it should consolidate well on Sunday. 

The film has good numbers overseas and looks to be heading for a $2.5 million weekend which is very good for a Shahid Kapoor starrer. The overseas market is generally in good shape for Hindi films and overall collections look stronger than before the pandemic for like to like films.
