Aiyaary had a low opening of 3-3.25 crore nett with the film opening slow and just having the normal evening follow up when it really had to improve. This makes it very tough for the film as thriller films dont really show huge growth on day two and this film needs to be going 60-70% up to have a chance.

The promos were not impressive and the film hardly had any music but the film had fair production values so though a big opening was never going to happen but it should also not be down in the 3 crore nett range. The film showed the same picture all over with poor collections.

Aiyaary has opened in that same range as the last few Siddharth Malhotra films. The lowest opener of the below films in the morning shows was actually Ittefaq but it showed by fat the best growth in evening shows.

Aiyaary - 3-3.25 crore nett apprx

Ittefaq - 3,69,00,000 crore nett

A Gentleman - 3,73,00,000 crore nett

Black Panther which was playing on almost 55% of the screens of Aiyaary did very well as it grossed 5-5.25 crore nett on day one. The film was very good in all the metros and even collected better than Aiyaary in the smaller circuits where Hollywood films have a lesser market unless its a franchise film. 

It remains to be seen how the film goes in India though with this opening it is pretty much assured of a good weekend with the test coming on Monday.
