Friday, 19th September 03:30 PM ISTDAAWAT E ISHQ Leads Over KHOOBSURAT But Overall Both Dull''Daawat E Ishq'' and ''Khoobsurat'' released today and like last week, both films have different set of audience. Last week releases are virtually out of competition and next week will see few small films so one out of two today''s release has good chance to sustain if it manages some sort of appreciation.
''Daawat E Ishq'' opened to around 20-22% occupancy and it has better start in Lucknow, Kanpur, Surat, Indore and other small towns. But film has wider release of around 1900-2000 screens which will make sure that it leads over ''Khoobsurat'' on day one.
''Khoobsurat'' also opened to close to 15% occupancy and film is complete no no in small towns. Film has to depend on multiplexes for big growth from evening onwards otherwise it will have stiff target over weekend.
As per early trends, ''Daawat E Ishq'' should target close to 5.50 to 6 cr nett and ''Khoobsurat'' should do close to 4 cr nett but anything less than that will be disappointment as it will leave no room for turnaround for these films.
