The opening response of the Diwali clashes has gone in the favour of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Below are the first show figures from some centres. Mumbai and Delhi are metros, Chandigarh is a mini metro while Nagpur is an A centre so the numbers are from main centres. If we go down in to smaller centres that have just a one or two theatre release like a Jhansi, Kamptee, Ganganagar, Dausa etc then Shivaay does lead but this like by 20 or 30 admits and the shortfall coming from the main centres across India is too big for it to make any worthwhile dent.
