NEERJA Scores Good Day One
''Neerja'' is released today which is making news for quite some time for its inspiring subject. Then there are couple of romantic flicks like ''Loveshhuda'', ''Ishq Forever'', ''Direct Ishq'' and ''Rhythm''.
''Neerja'' released across 1000 screens in India. Film had multiplex urban appeal and it will find tough to score among masses/single screens. Film had good pre release buzz and awareness along with glowing reviews. Film has opened to 20-25% occupancy with best figures in Bangalore, Pune and Chandigarh. Metros will improve from evening onwards and outside metros film has little chance with every weak opening.
Film collected 4.70 cr nett on day one and its fantastic number considering the opening face value. Word of mouth and reviews are pushing the film big time in metros and it will jump in coming weekend. For sure, 18-20 cr nett weekend is on the card. This one should break dry spell at box office for Fox Star Studios and Sonam Kapoor as lead actress.
