Zero collected 19.25-19.50 crore nett on day one which is lower than it should have done but will be a decent number if it can build from here. The problem is that it did not push in the evenings and the first day collections have come out at that 20 crore nett range which the morning number pointed to.

The biggest letdown for the film is Gujarat where the film has not collected at all and the collections are half of the Mumbai / Thane belt. The surprise is Bihar where it may turn out to be a record opening day number for a Shahrukh Khan starrer with collections in the 75-80 lakh range.

The first day collections are in the Fan range and below are the opening day numbers of the last five Shahrukh Khan starrers. Barring Jab Harry Met Sejal its all pretty much a similar range.

Zero - 19,35,00,000 apprx

Jab Harry Met Sejal - 14,69,00,000

Raees - 20,29,00,000

Fan - 19,07,00,000

Dilwale - 20,37,00,000

The must for the film is it has to be up on Saturday to have any chance of benefiting from the holidays over the week. Even if it just 10% growth it would be decent but if its a downward trend it will spell huge trouble in the first weekend itself.
