TAMASHA Had Good Day One
Ranbir and Deepika Padukone gave hit ''Bachna Ae Haseeno'' followed by biggest non holiday hit ever in Bollywood ''Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani''. Now they are back with ''Tamasha'' and this time director is Imtiaz Ali who gave some acclaimed and successful films like ''Jab We Met'', ''Love Aaj Kal'' and ''Rockstar''.
''Tamasha'' was never expected to do too well on opening day as music of the film failed to catch up and promos gave very niche and classy vibes. Film released overseas all over yesterday and in India today across 2150 screens. But still film has taken good to decent start all over due to lead pair and urban appeal.
Film opened to 45-50% occupancy in Delhi, NCR and UP. Film is close to 40% in West and 40-45% in central India. Even in places like Nizam and Tamilnadu it managed 40% plus occupancy. Film received mix reviews as on one side masses did not like film that much but film is holding its own in urban centers and among youth.
As per early estimates, film should collect 10.90 - 11.20 cr nett on day one and if manages to hold on in late shows then 11.50 cr nett is possibility. Now tomorrow holds the key and even if film manages anything close to 9.5-10 cr nett tomorrow then it can hope for at least decent weekend if not great one.
