Mission Mangal is super strong on day two as it records collections of 16-17 crore nett as per early estimates. The drop on the second day is in the 40% range which is excellent coming of such a big holiday and off a big first day number. Its a working day and the content is working for the film as this sort of number may not have come if the film had opened on a non holiday.

The two day numbers of the film will be around 45 crore nett and there should be upward momentum over the next two days though its difficult to judge how much growth it will see over the weekend. The film is fantastic in Mumbai, Mysore and West Bengal and even at this early stage it can be said with confidence that it will emerge the highest Akshay Kumar grosser in these markets, West Bengal and Mysore are practically certainties.

Batla House has done decent business on day two with business in the 7-7.50 crore nett range. The drop is in the 50% range which is not bad though it would have been better if this drop came from a higher number. the two day total for the film will be 21 crore nett plus and it will be very important that the film shows good growth over Saturday and Sunday. The best business for the film is in Delhi / UP while Mumbai, South and East are pretty lackluster at the moment.
