Azhar grossed 6-6.25 crore nett on its first day. The film should have been a little higher but but could not show any major growth at the big multiplexes in the evening. The film had opened better than films like Kapoor & Sons and Ki & Ka but the evening growth was lower than those films.
The best collections for the film came in Nizam / Andhra which will top 40 lakhs nett and Mumbai which will be around 2 crore nett. The film was low in Delhi city, East Punjab and the Eastern India markets.
The film will have to show growth of 20-25% on Saturday which would probably give it a chance to have a decent run at the box office due to lack of releases in the enxt few weeks. The opening is the highest for an Emraan Hashmi starrer since Raaz 3 which came in 2012..
