Chef has taken the lowest opening of the year if we take into account all the films which have cost more than 15 crore including promotion costs. The film was not expected to open well as trailers and the storytelling looked a disaster but still you would expect it can reach 1.50-1.75 crore nett but that is a huge task going by collections till 3pm. Last week we saw how good things can be when the right cinema is delivered to the audience and this week the Chef opening day number will probably show how bad things can be when wrong cinema is made. Actually its not correct to say wrong cinema but a better way to put it is past its sell by date cinema. The lowest openings of the year for films costing above 15 crore date are as follows. This does not mean the first day number will go in the following order but its lowest occupancy till 3pm on the opening day.

1. Chef

2. Noor

3. Guest in London

4. Daddy

5. Bank Chor

It was to be expected. There was no buzz. But the most important thing is that it should be a good movie.

Chef Has Awful First Day

Chef has taken an awful first day as it collected less than 1 crore nett. The film was not really expected to collect but these collections are even lower than those low expectations. The film should have at least got past fils like Noor and Guest In London and grossed in the region of 1.50 crore nett but here the collections are almost half of that with the first day collections coming in the 80-90 lakhs nett range. The started very poorly and these figures have come with the normal evening growth so it can be imagined how bad the morning was. This number means that even if the film doubles up on Saturday it will not help.it will have to probably treble up or even more and even Newton could not do that with support of an Oscar entry and here there is no such thing. The lowest numbers of some major releases this year are as follows. Chef has done less business than films Newton and Lipstick Under My Burkha but those are not included below as were limited releases and the ones below had 1000 screens or close to it.

1. Chef - 90,00,000 apprx

2. Guest In London - 1,17,00,000

2. Noor - 1,23,00,000

3. The Ghazi Attack - 1,55,00,000

4. Daddy - 1,58,00,000

5. Babumoshai Bandookbaaz - 1,61,00,000

This guy for saving himself from any further embarrassment should just stop doing solo movies. His career as a leading actor is FINISHED long ago.

Even B/C grade actors movies earn more.

90 lacs opening is beyond embarrassing
