Tanu Weds Manu Returns had a very good opening in North and was good in most other places. Overall the initial is strong. North India multiplexes had the best opening of the year ahead of Gabbar Is Back. The Delhi NCR area is excellent as theatres in places like Gurgaon which don't open normally record strong occupancies till later in the day were 50% plus for morning shows.
Despite on lesser screens than Gabbar Is Back it could record the top first day figures in the North. East Punjab will be best bet as the Delhi/UP total may be let down by figures in UP where opening was much less than Gabbar Is Back. Mumbai, Rajasthan and CI also opened well.
The opening is average in a couple of circuits like Nizam / Andhra and West Bengal but the film is not the sort that has to score universally to succeed. The film should record the highest initial for a heroine orientated film though being a sequel it had an upper hand compared to other heroine orientated films which got solid day one numbers like a Mary Kom and Heroine.
