Jolly LLB 2 has done well in its first week with collections of 72.25 crore nett apprx. The film picked up very well on Saturday and Sunday after an average start. The holds over the weekdays are fair with the Valentines Day collections making the weekdays look good.
The film has primarily fared well in the North with East Punjab and Delhi NCR recording good numbers. The business in UP where the film is set is average with single screens in the state not doing well. This has been the pattern with Akshay Kumar starrers in the last year in that single screens have not performed including in a film like Housefull 3. If this continues a big grosser will be tough as till date Rowdy Rathore remains the highest grosser of Akshay Kumar and that was released almost five years ago.
The collections on the second Friday will determine if its a HIT or not although the business is unlikely to reach the number of Raees which is the biggest grosser of 2017 till date.This again illustrates the domination of the Khans as Akshay Kumar is the next best bet after the Khans and here a decent Akshay Kumar film will stay below a poor Shahrukh Khan film whih released in clash with another film.
The gap in stardom is no way that much between the Khan and Akshay Kumar but the problem is limited appeal films for Akshay Kumar and nothing like a Rowdy Rathore or Welcome
There was another release last week Hind Ka Napak Ko Jawab - MSG Lionheat 2 but it fared very poorly and recorded the lowest first week in the MSG series.
