Dishoom had a fair opening day grossing around 11 crore nett as per early estimates on day one. The figures are around 1 crore nett less than Baaghi but did manage to score over that film in a few of circuits like East Punjab and possibly Delhi / UP and Mumbai but all others are coming out lower as Baaghi took a very good opening in mass circuits while this is just good. Varun Dhawan's last film had ABCD 2 opened to 14.28 crore last year and this is much lower. We can compare with John Abraham's last film Rocky Handsome which was just 5.19 crore nett but Dishoom is a Varun Dhawan driven film.
The opening should have been better but its still not that bad giving the film some sort to platform from where it can build on. It will be about the growth over the weekend and Saturday and Sunday will have to grow well. It will be interesting to see what growth it can gather on Saturday as Gujarat, Rajasthan and CPCI have recorded pretty decent numbers on day one and these areas find it hard to grow especially for this genre. The growth is going to have to come from the big multiplexes of Delhi NCR, Punjab and Mumbai and it will have to be substantial to counteract the less growth in other areas. The East Punjab circuit probably lost around 20-25 lakhs nett as a Punjabi film Bambukat scored very well on its opening day..
The new Hollywood releases today like The BFG and Ghostbusters have fared very poorly as they struggle for 50 lakhs nett on day one.
