Anek had a very poor opening of 1.75 crore nett as it could not really gain much in the evening. There will be growth today but not the type needed for such a low starting point. The collections were mass circuits were horrible as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in second week was collecting 5-6 times more in Gujarat / Saurashtra, CP Berar and CI and this could be same in a few other circuits.

The film has the lowest opening of all the major releases in 2022 barring Badhaai Ho, Jhund and Dhaakad with the last named being the worst this year. The minor plus will probably be Assam circuit which incorporates the North East and that may outperform but that will maybe a few lakhs extra.

Top Gun Maverick has also not been able to make much of an impact in India as collections have been poor over the first two days though it should do better than Anek. The film is doing outstanding business in North America and may well go close to $150 million over the four day holiday weekend. The collections of Top Gun Maverick in India are as follows.

Wednesday - 25,00,000

Thursday - 2,00,00,000 

Friday - 2,50,00,000 

TOTAL - 4,75,00,000 apprx
