Maidaan saw a good jump in collections on Wednesday as the Maharashtra belt saw a big jump due to Maharashtra Day and collections doubled here at some cinemas. It was Labour Day in some other states which helped collections where it was a holiday.

Maidaan picked up 1.1 crore nett on Wednesday and now is looking at a 7.75-8 crore nett third week. The holiday is a good one in Maharashtra as Marathi film Naach Ga Ghuma opened every well and a holdover like Madgaon Express which has a huge ratio of business coming from Maharashtra also showed big gains.

But at the end of the day its another holiday gone to waste after Eid as none of the films in cinemas at present have the appreciation to make it really count.
