Zero under performed in the first weekend with collections of 54.50 crore nett. The figures on Sunday could not reach the first day number. The disappointment is what has happened on Saturday and Sunday. The opening was always not going to be huge though it should have been 20% better than what it was. Still this was not that action film or mass comedy which depended on the first day and could easily make up ground.

But instead of making up ground it lost ground. The drop in collections after day one tell its another Shahrukh Khan starrer which has got some numbers due to his presence with the content being rejected. The weekdays may get some numbers due to the holiday period.

The figures are better than Jab Harry Met Sejal and very similar to Fan which pretty much tells the story of the film. The first weekend figures for Zero are as follows.

Friday - 19,35,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 17,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 18,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL  - 54,60,00,000 apprx

The film has done best in UP and Bihar probably as the film is set in that world and these places tend to under perform for Shahrukh Khan. The collections in UP and Bihar are not blockbuster levels that it makes much difference to the overall picture but at least in these two states the film has managed average business which is better than other parts of the country.

Shahrukh Khan strongholds like West Bengal, Mysore and Tamil Nadu / Kerala have collected poorly as has Mumbai circuit. the Xmas factor could help over the next two days but the real level of the film will be known on Wednesday after the big holiday.
