BOI:

Befikre Does Well On Day One

Saturday 10 December 2016 11.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Befikre had a good first day of around 10.25-10.50 crore nett as it scored well at multiplexes all over the country. The business at single screens was not good as the demonetization issue continues in smaller centres and this has led to a limited release in single screens. It meant places like UP, Gujarat and Central India markets did not get optimum release though on the other hand the film is also not for those markets as well. Still a full out release would have bumped up opening day collections a little though these extra screens were unlikely to grow over the weekend. The film is the third highest Ranveer Singh opener after Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani but here he is the only face and the canvas of the film is not as big as those films.

The film has a start but now its about the where the weekend goes and being a multiplex film it will need growth on Saturday. It does not need huge growth but a normal jump which is 15-20% for a multiplex film would put it in a good position. The film took an opening in morning shows yesterday as it was a very youth centric film and while this allows that first morning start it also does make the weekend tougher as its impossible to say whether families will come over the weekend and this audience does make the growth easier to come by.

The best business for the film came in Delhi NCR as Delhi city, Noida and Gurgaon fetched strong numbers, This was followed by other metros like Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune.

check out my predictions, my opening day prediction was bang on! 😃

I watched it earlier on tonight, didn't read any reviews (which is unusual for me...)

I was pleasantly surprised. The film was actually very entertaining AND offered something NEW.

I could so RELATE to the new-age dimensions of modern relationships.

Of course it was full of cliches but it was played out well.

Ranveer was excellent. Vaani was very good and clearly she's worked very hard on learning French and perfecting the accent and her dance is amazing but I kinda felt she didn't suit the role as much as someone like Katrina would have.

Overall very impressed (...well I started with low expectations).

3.75 stars from me... will need to watch again (probably Wednesday with the BFF)

As it was stated that north is a very star driven circuit can it be said Ranveer has at least started to register money based on his stardom?
