Sarabjit and the Hollywood release X Men fared badly in week one with collections of 19 crore nett for Sarabjit and 23 crore nett for X Men. Both films could not open well with X Men having the edge but in the weekdays Sarabjit had the better holds.
Sarabjit has done best in Delhi / UP and East Punjab but even here collections are weak. Delhi / UP is around 5.50 crore nett for the week aided by entertainment tax exemption. East Punjab grossed 3 crore nett and considering the regional content of the film, the number should have been better.
Sarabjit will mainly do business in Delhi / UP and East Punjab after week one with possibly over 50% business coming from these two circuits. Mumbai despite being a bigger circuit than Delhi / UP has grossed less.
X Men - Apocalypse is poor but the writing was on the wall on day as these films are front loaded and a 4 crore nett plus start was not going to take it anywhere.
