Ek Villian Challenges Jai Ho For Highest Opening Day Of 2014Friday 27 June 2014 22.30 ISTBox Office India Trade NetworkShare on gmailShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailMore Sharing Services?Ek Villian is set to have a very good first day with collections and is challenging Jai Ho for the highest first day of the year. It is sure to be amongst top three and should beat Gunday which is at number two and even possibly challenge Jai Ho.
The film has an outside chance of beating Jai Ho first day as collections of many multiplexes are coming out better than Jai Ho but its likely that the mass centres and bigger screen count will keep it slightly below Jai Ho.
The film had a strong start in the morning and the places which were lower picked up by afternoon. Ek Villian is looking at a 15 crore nett figure on the early figures and could even go a bit higher to challenge the 16.75 crore nett of Jai Ho.
Ek Villian Records Excellent First Day FiguresSaturday 28 June 2014 11.00 ISTBox Office India Trade NetworkShare on gmailShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailMore Sharing Services?Ek Villian had an excellent first day as it recorded collections of 16-16.50 crore nett on day one. The all India collections were similar to Jai Ho with multiplexes being better and single screens less. The film is the first real opener of the year as Jai Ho was a wider release and although collections were good they could should have been better for its release.
The collections were fantastic all over with some circuits recording the highest collections for the year. Delhi/UP, East Punjab (despite competition from Punjabi film Punjab 1984) and Mysore were all better than Jai Ho and tops for the year. West Bengal may also make this list.
The opening day ensures its success and its remains to be seen how big of a lifetime number it finally puts up. The first day was always expected to be huge but it has actually come out a couple of crore more than the huge expectations which is rare.
