Ae Dil Hai Mushkil did well on its second Friday as it collected in the 4-4.25 crore nett range taking its eight day total to 82 crore nett.A 4 crore nett plus number is good for a second Friday. The collections for the second Friday are the third best of the year with only Sultan and Airlift having better collections. Now its about the growth on Saturday which should normally be huge but there seems a little leftover from holiday period in UP as collections there seem to be higher than normal. This might also be there in other places which might hold the fillm back from the normal 50% plus growth on second Saturday but that remains to be seen. The box office collections of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil till date are as follows

The film has done well in the metros which expected but the weekdays holds were due to the holds in mass centres. In many centres of UP it has actually collected more than Shivaay over the week and this is despite it being an urban film. The collections in Lucknow are even better than another mass film Housefull 3 and only behind Sultan and Rustom for the year. This has happened due to the music and holiday period otherwise there is no chance of this type of film clocking up around 1 crore nett from a centre like Lucknow.

The best performing circuits till now are Mumbai and Mysore with the former being helped by an extended holiday period in Gujarat and the latter raced off too a huge start as there was no affect of pre Diwali and grossed the second highest first week figure of 2016 of around 7.25 crore nett. North was affected hugely by pre Diwali especially on Sunday but its likely to hold well in week two. The eighth day will give an idea of its lifetime business and despite its good first week a good total on day eight is still crucial.
