Kapoor & Sons had a poor 15-20% opening which is not good for a film which has some face value (Siddharth - Alia) for the big city youth and a hit song. The very dull promos have probably over rided the plusses of the film. The fact that there has been no worthwhile releases over the last few weeks should have also helped a little but that does not seem so with the morning figures.
The initial of the film is not much better than a film like Jai Gangaajal which was a film which had nothing really going for it in terms of an initial. The difference may well be that Jai Gangaajal did not pick up on the first day while Kapoor & Sons may as has more potential for the big cities.
The film is probably going to be a metro fare even if the collections pick up as its hard to other big cities outside the metros like Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Ludhiana, jaipur etc fare well. This is will limit the potential of the film.
