Dream Girl had a good start with morning occupancy of around 30% which is the best start for the smaller films this year. The film is also the best start ever for an Ayushmann Khurana starrer by a long way. Last year Badhaai Ho took a decent start as was released on a holiday but this is far better than that film on a non holiday.

The film had a feel of a commercial comedy with good music which will give it a good opening day. The morning numbers are around 40-50% better than last weeks Chhichhore though that film did pick up in the evening.  This sort of start for this film should make it smooth sailing for the film as it is sure to be a good weekend for the film and the first day has a chance of hitting double digits as it should do better in the evenings.. The top openings in terms of morining occupancy this year are as follows with Dream Girl in eight position. The film with a wider release has been given preference for ranking purposes.

1. Bharat - 60%

2. Mission Mangal - 52.5%
