He told PTI, “Today is showing a big jump in terms of box office collection from the opening day. The film had a fairly big opening and the word of mouth is positive. We expect the film to garner impressive and strong numbers over the weekend. We are seeing particularly good response from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Mumbai. The film is resonating well with audiences in these markets. Over the extended weekend, we expect the film to continue this momentum and gross over Rs. 150 crore till Monday.”
