WAZIR Had Decent Day One''Wazir'' is 1st prominent release of new year 2016. Film had interesting cast as it pitches Farhan Akhtar opposite Amitabh Bachchan. But poor track record of director Beejoy Nambiar at box office and unexciting promos made it a bad bet at box office.
Film released without much fanfare and there was not much expectations from this. Film opened to poor occupancy of 15% and though it grew throughout the day but not in a big way. Short running time of 92 minutes ensured very good release size and shows.
Film managed decent day one and collected 5.57 cr nett on day one and now a good growth on Saturday can take it to good weekend. Postponement of ''Ghayal Returns'' gives it a week more if can trend strong on weekdays. Film is collecting only in premium multiplexes in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and these properties tend to drop considerably on weekdays.
