Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar has done well on day one with collections around the 14 crore nett mark. The film has been helped by Holi in many states but it has also lost some business due to Holi one day early in some states. The collections of the film would have gone towards 16 crore nett if it was a normal Holi which makes it look better on paper though it hardly makes any difference because if the audience is with film the shortfall is easily made up in the long run.

The film has scored very well in NCR and Gujarat / Saurashtra with the latter being due to Holi which is like a national holiday in the circuit. The weak side in Maharashtra and there the film has to do better especially in Mumbai city and Pune where these type of films have more potential. The collections are also a bit low in UP but here its a prolonged Holi period so they may well be higher tomorrow.

 The film had a holiday and has a huge budget and good music and on that it should be opening a little higher on a holiday. These collections would have actually been good if it was not a holiday but with the box office scenario today especially for cinema which is not larger than life it is about getting enough of an audience in initially and going on from there. This is where the film has a solid chance.

The first day collections of the film are good enough for the film to succeed if the target audience likes and it sustains over the next 3-4 days. If the day was 15-20% less then success would have been impossible.
