YOUNGISTAAN Battles Cricket Match, Limited Release And Competition At Box Office
Three new films released yesterday and all three new films ''Dikshaiyoon'''', ''Youngistaan'''' and ''O Teri'' are of similar size and similar sort of cast. ''Dishkaiyoon'''' got close to 1500 screens and due to Eros backing and presence of Sunny Deol, it got biggest release especially in single screens. ''Youngistaan'' was smallest in 790 screens and 2430 shows all India.
''Youngistaan'' had decent start on day one and despite being a serious topical film, it managed to create stir and defeated ''O Teri'' badly at box office. ''Dikshiyaoon'' had advantage of bigger screen size and was close to ''Youngistaan''.
''Youngistaan'' was dark horse among new releases and film managed good day one of around 1.54 cr nett. Film was good in central India and parts of north India. Mumbai was just decent and south was average. Film has appreciation and should grow from today onwards.
Film will be 1st choice over weekend among new releases.
