BROTHERS Had Good Start
After stupendous success of ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan'' and ''Bahubali'', ''Drishyam'' and ''Bangistan'' did not meet expectations. Now its turn of big release ''Brothers'' starring Akshay Kumar and Siddharth Malhotra on big Independence day weekend.
''Brothers'' is remake of Hollywood film ''Warriors''. Last few Akshay Kumar starrers ''Baby'' and ''Gabbar'' failed to cross 100 cr nett barrier despite good reviews. So it will be interesting to see whether this film with big holiday over weekend will push it beyond 100 cr nett.
Film started on expected lines on Friday morning as it opened to 30% occupancy in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Film is somewhat better in north with 35% or more occupancy but overall its close to 30%. Film will grow from evening onwards but it needs big improvement so that it can go close to 15-16 cr nett mark as anything below than that will be a disappointment.
