Soorma grossed a low 3.25 crore nett apprx on its first day though North India did well with roughly 50% of its all India business coming from Delhi / UP and East Punjab. The film is about the growth which should come on Saturday but the Monday will be crucial as weekend growth nowadays comes for practically every film aimed at multiplexes. Monday is what separates the also rans and the ones which will actually ran.

Mumbai circuit is most important for the film as that is the one which will decide its fate because it really needs Mumbai city and Pune to pick up strongly. If  Mumbai city, Pune and North can score for a multiplex film like this then it is enough for a good box office run. If Mumbai does not really sustain then the film will have to be a big hit in the North for a decent lifetime total.

The opening day collections of the film were a little lower than Hichki and 102 Not Out though better than Blackmail.

Ant Man And The Wasp has scored at the box office with a pretty good first day of 5.25-5.50 crore nett which is similar to the collections of Black Panther which had more hype though the release in India of Ant Man And The Wasp was a little wider than Black Panther.

The Hollywood released had the highest collections on the Friday beating Soorma and Sanju. There is big growth for this Marvel branded cinema in India as the last Ant Man released in 2015 grossed 8 crore nett and this one will beat that one in 2 days flat.

It still remains to be seen if the film actually works with the audience but with a start like this it is pretty much assured success from a purely commercial point of view.
