Jab Harry Met Sejal has taken a good opening of around 35-40% on average. The multiplexes in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore and Kolkata are the second best of the year after Bahubali - The Conclusion. At other places the opening is not strong as a Raees or Tubelight but that is expected as the content is more urban.

The release is more than 1000 screens less than Tubelight and its less than Raees also in terms of screens but that film had limited capacity at multiplexes due to a clash so despite fewer screens than Raees the capacity is actually more. 

If we compare morning occupancy then it is similar to Tubelight on lesser volume but it is lower than Raees. The opening is the lowest for a Shahrukh Khan starrer in a long time (not counting Dear Zindagi) but that is because of the content does not have the initial appeal of a Happy New Year, Dilwale or Raees while a Fan was released on a holiday which pushed up occupancy. The advance also finished lower than Tubelight and Raees as smaller multiplexes and single screens could not match the advance of those films.

Jab Harry Met Sejal is eventually a film which is more content driven rather than the one which opens with a bang so it will have potential upside on Saturday and Sunday if the content is there. The opening day numbers will be best in West Bengal due to the Shahrukh Khan factor, the circuit does not really open well but multiplexes in Kolkata really score for Shahrukh Khan starrers irrespective of content.
