Ok Jaanu the first major release of the year managed fair opening collections of around 25% at multiplexes which is not bad for this film which does not have much face value especially in terms of the male lead.the fact that it is a new release after a pretty long time may have helped. The opening is far better than the last starrer of Shraddha Kapoor which was Rock On 2 and also much better than Aditya Roy Kapoor's last film which was Fitoor and also featured a heroine like Katrina Kaif. The best opening for the film is in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore though screenings in Bangalore are affected by South Indian releases. Generally South India will be huge affected by the local releases.
Despite the ok start for the film it is still about growth as eventually these type of films need a trend to survive. Also the Hollywood release XXX - Return Of Xander Cage featuring Deepika Padukone will release later and that could affect collections. Xander has one of the weirdest releases in that there are paid previews on Friday evening and the full release is on Saturday. This film will be heavily affected by the big South Indian releases as had potential to do good business there.
The Saturday release could also make big growth harder to come by for Ok Jaanu as the film have less shows on Saturday to accomodate the Hollywood release. If Xander takes a start than that would make it even harder
