2 States opened very well at multiplexes with collections around the 50-55%. The opening is much stronger than would be expected for the cast with metro multiplexes recording very good collections and even other major centres collecting well.
It is a holiday for Good Friday so that will have benefited the film but the benefit will be more from the afternoon shows onwards. The single screen opening is likely to be weaker.
The opening is the third best of 2014 after Jai Ho and Gunday. The single screen opening is likely to be weaker although it may also be helped by the holiday but not to the extent of multiplexes as it has little face value and the content is not for single screens. The film will have a very good first day and it remains to be seen how big a success the film can emerge.
