EK VILLAIN Takes The 2nd Biggest Opening Of 2014
''Ek Villain'' was expected to take big start at box office and that is what happened. As we explained in our earlier reports, film had good buzz due to chartbuster music and trusted director. Film released today across 2300 plus screens. But film surpassed all expectations and took the 2nd biggest opening of 2014 almost equal to Salman Khan starrer ''Jai Ho'', but higher than Akshay Kumar starrer ''Holiday'', ''Gunday'' and ''2 States''.
Film was simply humongous in Gujarat, Mumbai and central India. Though film was affected by Punjabi film ''1984'' in East Punjab but film was still overall good over there too. Film was super strong in east and south.
Filmhad super strong day one as film collected huge 16.75 cr nett on day one which was simply outstanding. Film created havoc in smaller centers and was housefull throughout the day. Film was also strong in centers like west and south where generally middle size Bollywood films do not score this big.
How big was the opening one can judge from the following table where we compare opening day biz of all big releases of recent times in Cinepark Valsad (Gujarat). Film is biggest non holiday opener and only 2nd to big holiday release. Film has clearly surpassed all expectations.
