The opening is not great if looked at as an Akshay Kumar starrer, but it is good for the genre. The film has not performed in mass belts and its only really the big cities that are collecting. Last year Akshay Kumar’s Baby opened to only Rs 7.84 crore (Rs 78 million net approx). Now it all depends on the Saturday and Sunday business, and if there is a 20-25% growth on Saturday, the film would be in a good position. Luckily, the film also has a benefit of a national holiday on Tuesday.
