Pad Man had a decent first week of 62 crore nett as it held well on the weekdays after a very average start. The film jumped very well on Saturday but could not follow up on Sunday as families in places like Jaipur and Kanpur did not really come and this is the audience that can really push a film.

The film took advantage of the partial holidays to hold up well midweek and the drop came on day seven which was always likely. The weekdays held well but places that can sustain well in the long run like Punjab, Delhi, UP and Gujarat are not the drivers of the film. It is doing comparatively better in places like Mumbai and Bangalore.

The eighth day is the test for the film with competition from a new release and a strong holdover film. The film is a success but will have to show a 10-15% drop from Thursday to emerge a solid HIT, normally films drop more when a new film comes but there are case of no drop as well but generally those films open at around half the range of Pad Man.
