In total Don has initialed 16 crores all India out of which Mumbai is 4.8 crores. It is a complete disaster in the North. Just go through the collections by each and every city. Delhi is much lower than was expected. Only 1.7 crore against 3.8 crore of KANK. There is already a drop in collections in Mumbai too. Regarding overseas collections, from what one hears the movie has been taken off the cinema halls in South Africa and been replaced by Jaaneman. Can't say about UK and US. One would wait for more realiable sources that is BBC and CNBC to come up with the figures. These figures look highly fudged as one can see since just a day back they reported 288K from UK and suddenly it is 1 million 😕 . Indiafm is a marketing partner remember. They inflated the figures for KANK and Krissh also and it turned out to be 50% less than what was actually cited. 16 crore initial in India in the first week, with serious drops across the country, second week is going to be even worse. Now amidst this how ludicrous this claim of 75 crore initial sounds. If they claim to have got 18 crore worldwide (which is also very unlikely) then the total is only 34 crore inital. 🤢 not 75 crore.
