JAI HO Scores Not Great But Good Day One





Today 2014 got actual kickstart at box office with first big release of superstar of masses, Salman Khan. ''Jai Ho'' released among huge expectations of crossing 200 cr nett minimum which is the new barometer as far as top stars of country are concerned.


Film was good since morning and should be termed superb considering non holiday factor. But film never rose from there especially in multiplexes. Film was around 65% in Punjab, Up and Delhi which was shockingly low. Film was not that good either in Mumbai, Bangalore and Mysore.


Film managed good numbers from CI, CP and Rajasthan which was on expected lines. Film should grow from here on due to weekend factors but going by the initial, this is the weakest response for Salman starrer in last few years. Monday will be a real litmus test for his stardom.


As per early estimates, film should collect close to 19-20 cr nett which will be still a strictly good result for such a big film. Still film can mend its ways over the weekend if that all important jump happens tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
