''Wazir'' is 1st prominent release of new year 2016. Film had interesting cast as it pitches Farhan Akhtar opposite Amitabh Bachchan. But poor track record of director Beejoy Nambiar at box office and unexciting promos made it a bad bet at box office.

Film released without much fanfare and there was not much expectations from this. Film opened to poor occupancy of 15% and though it grew throughout the opening day but not in a big way. Short running time of 92 minutes ensured very good release size and shows.

Film managed decent day one and collected 5.57 cr nett on day one.

Film collected only in premium multiplexes in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and these properties tend to drop considerably on weekdays. But then film managed to grow on Saturday which was surprise as it had growth of 33% with collection coming close to 7.16 cr nett.

Film has two day total of 12.73 cr nett and now good Sunday can take it close to 22-23 cr nett which will be a very good sum considering pre release buzz. Film also collected very good number of 8 cr in overseas in two days.

Below are the collections for the film -
