AZHAR Had Average Day One
May month has some interesting releases and after success of ''Baaghi'' and ''The Jungle Book'' now all eyes on ''Azhar'', the big cricket biopic. Film has created some waves due to controversial subject though last few films of Emraan Hashmi were big flops at box office.
Film released in 2500 screens and opened to decent numbers of 25% occupancy. Film was strong in Gujarat, Mumbai and south. Film is very dull in metro and urban areas. Film had got good opening in comparison to other films this year but film has to grow from evening onwards but presence of not so urban cast and marketing might limit that.
