NEERJA Takes Decent Start, Rest Of The Releases Are Washout
'Neerja' is released today which is making news for quite some time for its inspiring subject. Then there are couple of romantic flicks like 'Loveshhuda', 'Ishq Forever', 'Direct Ishq' and 'Rhythm'.
'Neerja' released across 1000 screens in India. Film has multiplex urban appeal and it will find tough to score among masses/single screens. Film had good pre release buzz and awareness along with glowing reviews. Film has opened to 20-25% occupancy with best figures in Bangalore, Pune and Chandigarh. Metros will improve from evening onwards and outside metros film has little chance with every weak opening. As per early estimates, film should collect 4.90-5 cr nett on day as it will jump for sure later in the day.
'Loveshhuda' is only other film to get some kind of opening with 5% occupancy. It will find tough to cross 80 lakhs nett on day one. Rest of the releases are complete washout.
