THE SHAUKEENS Remains Below Par On Day One
Akshay Kumar starrer 'The Shaukeens' released yesterday and it got wide release in 1900-2000 screens. Film is a remake of sleeper hit from 1982 'Shaukeen'. Film had rather decent buzz before release but that did not translate in numbers on Friday.
''The Shaukeens'' has opened to expected occupancy of 25% which was not bad considering usual trend these days on Friday morning. But film failed to grow from evening onwards despite quite positive reviews. Main reason was the misfit of the film with young audience.
Film remained average in Delhi, East Punjab and Central India but Mumbai and Gujarat were bad. Overall film collected 5.12 cr nett on day one which is below par. Now film needs big jump in next few days in order to reach respectable total.
