Zero will do business in the 12-12.50 crore nett range as per early estimates which is around 30% better than Monday. The growth is less than normal for a national holiday but it is sort of expected as the film did not trend strongly over the weekend and the Monday number was pretty decent considering the weekend so some of the growth was baked into the Monday collection.

Also the best markets are UP and Bihar and Christmas is probably the weakest national holdiay in these parts and they have grown less than places like Bengal and South despite the film being liked best in UP and Bihar. The growth this Christmas day is generally less this year as films like Kedarnath and KGF which are doing much lower numbers and have potential for huge growth are also not showing that huge growth for a national holiday.

The collections of Zero till date are 76-77 crore nett and the big drop will come on Wednesday which will tell where week will end. The five day business is what it should have done over the weekend from that 19 crore nett start.
