Good Newwz has had a good first day as it made good gains post the afternoon shows to record collections of around 18 crore nett. The film had a pretty good start in the morning but the range then looked around 15 crore nett so the gains in the evening are pretty decent.

The film has performed best in Delhi / UP and East Punjab as both these circuits beat the numbers of  last weeks Dabangg 3. Some centres did not start well in East Punjab but came on board after 1 pm. Delhi / UP is fantastic as collections look to cross the 4 crore nett mark which will edge out the Dabangg 3 numbers though that had many issues in the circuit on day one. There are still some centres which are affected in UP though not as much as last week.

The film has also has a opening day above Housefull 4 though that was pre Diwali release. Overall its a good start for this film where the real story should be weekend growth and 18 crore nett is a good starting point. The film will have good chances to record the highest ever Akshay Kumar weekend score from this opening day.

Dabangg 3 had a big fall on day eight with collections in the 3 crore nett range. If mass markets are a little better it could be a little higher but either way it has taken a big hit and that 150 crore nett mark is looking a tough task for the film.
