BROTHERS Had Good Day One
After stupendous success of ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan'' and ''Bahubali'', ''Drishyam'' and ''Bangistan'' did not meet expectations. Now its turn of big release ''Brothers'' starring Akshay Kumar and Siddharth Malhotra on big Independence day weekend.
''Brothers'' is remake of Hollywood film ''Warriors''. Last few Akshay Kumar starrers ''Baby'' and ''Gabbar'' failed to cross 100 cr nett barrier despite good reviews. So it will be interesting to see whether this film with big holiday over weekend will push it beyond 100 cr nett.
Film started on expected lines on Friday morning as it opened to 30% occupancy in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Film is somewhat better in north with 35% or more occupancy but overall its close to 30%. Film grewrow from evening onwards but it needed big improvement so that it can go close to 15-16 cr nett mark but due to bad reviews it remained under 14 cr nett mark.
Film needs 23-25 cr nett day two which looks tough at the moment as 20 cr nett is more practical. Anything less than 55-58 cr nett will be a really bad result for the film. So tomorrow will decide effect of reviews on the business of the film.
