BADLAPUR Had Very Good Day One
After disastrous beginning of 2015 with flops ''Tevar'' and ''Khamoshiyan'', below par to average ''Baby'', below average ''Dolly Ki Doli'' and ''Roy'', disastrous ''Hawaizaada'' and flop ''Shamitabh'', there is big hope from new release ''Badlapur'' especially due to presence of Varun Dhawan.
''Badlapur'' opened to low occupancies of 15% in areas like Gujarat, UP and Bihar but film is better in Rajasthan, Mumbai and Delhi with 35% occupancies. Overall opening is around 25% and 28% which is good for mid budget film.
Film should grow due to good reviews but how big is the growth will be important. Film will be lower than opening day of ''Roy'' for sure but still it can close down to opening day of ''Baby'' if evening shows witness jump. Film collected 7 cr nett on opening day which was really good considering adult certificate.
Film has taken a better start today and easily film should touch 8.5 - 9 cr nett and that means despite cricket match on Sunday, 24 cr nett weekend is certain. Looks like we have finally the 1st big hit of 2015.
