Bholaa has taken a fair opening across mass pockets (except Maharashtra) and it is the contribution from these areas that will give it a chance for a first day number which can be double digits or near. The response to the film in Mumbai city, Delhi NCR (bigger cinemas) and South is weak despite it being a holiday for Ram Navami

The opening of the film geographically is very similar to Samraat Prithviraj released last year though that came without the holiday boost on a normal Friday release. The best openings for the film are in UP and Ci especially the single screens. The UP barometer for singles in Agra was over 1 lakh nett for noon shows which has only been done by a few films. The last 6-8 months is Pathaan and Ram Setu only.

The industry will see this opening very much as a dull opening as expectations had been built of a 14-15 crore nett opening by Ormax Media which is a scam which surely the industry should have worked out now and if not all they have to check the results of the so called tracking and actual opening days of films in 2023. 

Coming back to Bholaa its looking a 9-10 crore nett opening day thanks to a better performance in mass pockets where it is a holiday and its going to be about where this film recahes on Sunday. The ramadan period is also not th best for a film which is more the mass pockets and that can hold back the numbers.
