Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar saw a drop in collections on day two of around 35% which would have been fine if it was full out Holi but as a few states did not have Holi including Maharashtra which forms a huge chunk of the business it should have held up better.  The collections of the film are 9 crore nett which takes the film to 23 crore nett.

The film held up well in Delhi / UP, Bihar and CP Berar and made gains in many centres of these circuits but this is the norm as many places in these regions remain shut for most of the day in Holi. But on the other side there was a huge drop in Gujarat / Saurashtra of around 70% and it is probably post Holi affect here. Still collections are down at a low level in this and as Holi is huge the first day should have been higher.

There are also heavy drops in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan with an up market centre like Chandigarh falling 50% which is not good. Overall the film is in a decent position after two days but a film like this with good music, stars and a director with a good track record should be doing better than decent in its first two days especially over a holiday period. 

The film has a lot of ground to cover and although the headline numbers look reasonable mainly due to Holi there is a struggle at many places which did not get Holi benefit and some of these are big centres. The film has to really grow today but as some areas got Holi benefit yesterday which will become less today it will be limited growth at best.

The acid test will be Saturday and Sunday where collections have to go to much higher levels if the film is to sustain.  Its still there with a chance though it wont be easy due to the average collections over the first two days. The collections of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar over the first two days are as follows.

Wednesday 14,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 23,00,00,000 apprx
