REVOLVER RANI Is Slightly Better, KAANCHI And SAMRAT & Co. Struggle

''2 States'' had good week one and film will have extended run in 2nd week. Film will pose challenge to new releases this week in a big way. Three major Bollywood films are releasing this week and couple of small Hollywood films will hit screens too.

''Revolver Rani'' has 1500 screens which is double of what sleeper hit ''Queen'' got two months back. Film has opened to 20% occupancy and metros are looking dull, Punjab is suffering due to release of ''Jatt James Bond''. North is also slow to start and it seems that film will depend  heavily on word of mouth which can push it from evening onwards.

''Kaanchi'' is struggling despite being released across 1200 screens. Film has opened to 8% occupancy and needs big turnaround from here. Film has taken a poor start almost across the board. ''Samrat & Co.'' released in 500 screens and it is almost washout in opening show itself with 3-5% opening.

Hollywood release ''Son Of God'' is limited release and might attract audience due to religious appeal. Marathi releases ''Postcard'' and others started slowly too. ''2 States'' is also slow in morning on 2nd Friday but film is expected to make big from evening onwards.

As per early trends, ''Kaanchi'' will struggle for 1.5 - 2 cr nett figure on day one and ''Samrat & Co.'' will face stiff task to achieve even 75 lakhs day one total. ''Revolver Rani'' is best out of new releases but 3 cr nett what film should realistically achieve on day one.
