Saturday, 29th August 11:15 AM ISTPHANTOM Takes Average StartThere is not much business from releases in last few week at box office as no film managed even a decent business post ''''Bajrangi Bhaijaan''''. Now Kabir Khan is back with his golden touch and that might revive box office prospects.
''''Phantom'''' released today across 2500 screens and there is mix expectation from the film. Few are expecting Kabir Khan and Katrina to score third time consecutively at box office after ''''New York'''' and ''''Ek tha Tiger'''' but few are afraid of disastrous box office record of leading man Saif Ali Khan in recent times i.e. ''''Happy Ending'''' and ''''Bullett Raja''''.
Film took a decent to average start at box office all over. Film was close to 25% in urban centers of Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. But film was 20% in places like Indore, Kanpur and Surat. Film improved from evening onwards and that helped it to reach decent total.
Film collected 8.46 cr nett on day one which was good number considering the genre and lead actor. Film will jump today due to Raksha Bandhan festival and anything close to 12-13 cr nett will be an ideal result.
