Out of all the areas, the major response has surely been from the Gujarat belt followed by Mumbai, Rajasthan and to some extent Uttar Pradesh. Although in the Northern region, Gujarat has proved to be the film’s savior by making up for the unresponsive sectors of Delhi. Unfortunately Delhi region stopped reciprocating to the film after the first few days putting all the burden on Gujarat. But due to the extended holidays there, the film managed to recover.

Friday performance is most crucial for ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ as that determines how fast it can achieve the 200 crore mark which the film is now aiming for.

Given the hype received by the film and less competition faced at the box office, the number seems easily achievable.
