Maidaan picked up 5.75-6 crore nett on Saturday which was almost doubling of the collections from Friday. The collections in the bigger centres more than doubled especially where Eid is mainly a one day holiday. Also the film did not really get much of the Eid crowd due to more gentry content so it is much of a less factor here as compared to bade Miyan Chote Miyan..

The film is around 50% up from Thursday which was a national holiday so although the collections are nothing much it is rare for a film to open up on a national holiday and then to go this much higher than the national holiday. It could be its a big centre film and the Eid holiday release with a clash did not gets its target audience in or it can actually be start of good trend for the film.

The hope is this to be start of a good trend but that will be known with the weekday collections. The film did go ahead of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan at certain multiplexes on Saturday and it looks like Sunday it will go ahead at most multiplexes. But as its huge contributions from big centres and so much growth on Saturday it could prove tougher to go up a lot on Sunday.

The film is looking to do its best business in Mumbai circuit. The collections of Maidaan till date are as follows.
