Bharat is back on track on Saturday after collections going down for two days. The film will show growth in the range of 20-25% and collect in the 25-26 crore nett. There are some places that have fallen but that is because they are coming off the Eid phase but this will level out in the course of time.

The important factor is that a circuit like East Punjab with no Eid affect is up 40-50% and metros Mumbai city, Pune and Bangalore where Eid is also for two days only as far as collections are concerned are showing bigger gains than the all India number. It was very important for the film to show an upward trajectory in these places as this means there is some appreciation for the film. The last year has seen films not recovering from the downward slide but Bharat has recovered very well in circuits where it was a normal Friday.

The four day business of the film will be around 118 crore nett plus and it will emerge a HIT / SUPER HIT film depending on the holds on Monday and next week. The film has not found all round appreciation but that was clear from the second day drop but the bigger cities have liked the film enough and the multiplex business should take the film forward in the long run. 

The business may be lesser in smaller centers in the long run but the star pull and Eid has meant numbers in mass circuits are already very healthy.
