The film opened excellent in Metro Multiplexes on Friday but & the the multiplexes at other places which were lower on Friday picked up hugely on Saturday & Sunday.
By Sunday the film perfomed exceptionally well all over apart from few single screens accross the country.
The film was released in 700 theatres & nearly 1300 screens all over India & this type of collection with this type of release size is very good. The occupancy in the multiplexes were nearly 100% all over the country. Generally big openers have huge releases which vary from 2500 screens to 3500 screens, but releasing only on 1300 screens & collecting such huge is a great achievement.
