Ae Dil Hai Mushkil did well again on Saturday as it grossed around 12.25-12.50 crore nett. There is a drop in collections but its mainly in the North as Diwali gets closer. The Central India markets of Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI also dropped but the contribution here is minimal so does not affect collections too much. The film made gains or held at similar levels to Friday in Mumbai and South. If it was not pre Diwali the would have probably shown solid growth of around 20-25%. The two day business of the film has gone over 25 crore nett which is a good result for pre Diwali film that is clashing with another big film. The first two day business of Ae dil Hai Mushkil is as follows.
Friday - 13,04,00,000
Saturday - 12,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 25,54,00,000
The Sunday business could drop a little again despite it being a Sunday as its Diwali puja and a large section of the crowds will be busy with festivities. The night shows which are usually weak at multiplexes on Sunday should be strong as the audiences comes back out.
