Sachin - A Billion Dreams has taken a good opening of 30-35% which is better than most of the regular films. If you take into account its a docu drama then the opening can be called excellent as its not the normal Hindi film.

The opening has basically come because of one reason and that is Sachin Tendulkar. Last year M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story had taken a huge opening but that was a proper feature film which is not the case here.The opening of the film is very good in Mumbai circuits especially Mumbai city and Pune. Bangalore and Kolkata are also very good.

The rest of the country is lower but still good or decent. The film has a wide release in Hindi of 2000 screens plus and there is also a dubbed Tamil and Telugu version which could also do well due to the Sachin factor. In Hindi it is going to record a solid first day and it will be basically about holding collections, the coming days will tell if its just Sachin or does the film has some substance.

Pirates Of The Caribbean - Salazars Revenge has also opened to decent occupancy of around 20-25% and should put up a decent first day number. Overall its a good Friday this week as both the releases have surpassed expectations in terms of opening especially Sachin - A Billion Dreams
