Jai Ha grossed around 16-16.25 crore nett approx on day one which is a decent collection for day one on a non holiday if it was the normal Hindi film release but Jai Ho had a lot of expectations and was Salman Khan's first release after more than a year.
The film has been let down by multiplex all over, the collections all over at multiplexes be it a big city like Delhi or a smaller one like Moradabad are not up to the mark. The single screens have done good to very good business but even here it not bumper like a some of Salman Khan's other releases.
The best business for the film has come in Gujarat which has helped the Mumbai circuit outperform as compared to North India which is the opposite as compared to the likes of Dabangg and Ek Tha Tiger. The film should get a good jump on Sunday due to big holiday for Republic day but today (Saturday) may be tough for the film unless multiplexes improve and there is huge spare capacity for the film to do so.
But even if Saturday was to do well and Sunday show good jump it will still mean the first big film of 2014 has managed to score the way it should have..
Jai Ha has found it tough at the box office on day one. The multiplexes did not start that strongly and could not pick up while single screens started very well but at places there were cracks in the matinee and evening shows. It is cold in the North but still it should have collected much more.
It was pretty clear in the afternoon that 20 crore nett was a huge task and as the day comes to an end the collections for the film will be around the 15 crore nett range.
