The movie showed average collection in multiplexes outside Metro areas & the collection at single screens are also very low. If we compare the collection of Barfi with his last release Rockstar then the collection of Barfi is similar or better than Rockstar in Metro multiplexes but elsewhere the collection is lower.
The release count of Barfi is also less that is why the total collection of Barfi came down to around 1 crore lesser than that of Rockstar. The film will turn out to be a success because of its good business in the Metro multiplexes & if the collection in the multiplexes outside Metros & single screens show a good jump on saturday then the film will be a huge hit & will run comfortably for 2 weeks at the Boxoffice.
The places where Barfi did good business are Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bangalore & Kolkata & the places where the collections are lower are UP, Bihar, CI, Gujrat & Rajasthan. In the multiplexes the business of Barfi is the third highest in this year after Ek Tha Tiger & Agneepath. The PVR & Inox multiplexes scored even better than Agneepath.
