2.0 (Hindi) has taken a good start with morning occupancy of 35-40%. It is being driven by single screens and mid level multiplexes. The high end multiplexes are not collecting as they should be in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkatta. Hyderabad and Bangalore are hardly screening the Hindi version.

The higher ends have not opened too well probably because of the dubbed factor and the Rajnikant type of gimmicks have few takers at the high end multiplexes. Mumbai city will still be good as the single screens are good and collections in Thane are good. Delhi NCR belt will be depending on improvement through the day and this area has a large concentrate of high ends. UP has opened well though.

The late advance may have affected collections at the big multiplexes but it is very minimal affect as the current audience makes the big difference.

If we take it as a dubbed film the South then these numbers are very good as these films hardly have a market outside the Bahubali films. But 2.0 is not the regular dubbed film where the Hindi markets do not matter as this film needs the Hindi markets to do good business due to the film going over budget.

2.0 is only the fourth South dubbed film to open well in Hindi markets after Humse Hai Muqabla (1995), Hindustani (1996) and Bahubali - The Conclusion (2017). The last named is one of biggest openers ever be it dubbed or outright films. The director of 2.0 had also directed Humse Hai Muqabla and Hindustani so has 3 of the 4 biggest south dubbed openers in Hindi markets. 

The bigger multiplexes could have been better but its still a solid start and if 2.0 can hold collections at these levels over the the extended weekend it is going to come out with a strong weekend.
