M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story has scored a fantastic first weekend grossing around 62 crore nett in its Hindi format over the first weekend. There was a Tamil and Telugu version of the film which has grossed around 3,75  crore nett which is also pretty decent and better than films like Happy New Year and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The collections of the film are excellent all over over barring North India. In North India the film has done good business but has not performed as well as it has in other parts of the contry. Comparing with other films, the weekend is in the same range as films like Bang Bang (Holiday release) and Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewani. It is also a bit unlucky that the huge Gandhi Jayanti holiday fell on Sunday which gave a minimal boost as Sunday is a holiday anyway. If it came on Monday, the film would have really got a big boost.The weekend business of M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story is as follows

Friday - 20,00,00,000

Saturday - 19,00,00,000 

Sunday - 23,00,00,000

TOTAL - 62,00,00,000 

The weekend ensures a HIT film despite high costs and the next few days will tell how big of a hit the film can be and whether the industry gets the second BLOCKBUSTER of the year. The trend of the film is better than the weekend numbers suggest as the film did have capacity constraints at major multiplexes due to the length of the film. So although there is not much growth over the weekend the film has recorded high occupancy rates which should mean that the film will hold on the weekdays.
