Malang collected 6.50 crore nett on day one which is a decent collection for the face value of the film but the collection of the film is lower than a Marjaawan which had far lower costs than this film. The film should have opened a little better due to genre but face value o main lead comes in the way of that.

The issue will be big growth due to the genre and its unlikely that the film can go up 40-50% on Saturday though there should be growth as every film tends to grow on Saturday and the mass collections are not that high here that they will stop growth. The target for the film will be double digits on Sunday which it will have to do to stay in the race and a chance to sustain on Monday. The business of the film is not going to be strong at metros so its about the mass belts collecting good on Sunday.

The mass belts could have been better on Friday. Gujarat / Saurashtra and Maharashtra are decent but UP and the Central India markets could have scored better.

Shikara collected 1 crore nett on its first day which is actually not that bad for a film like this of no face value but the collections are just from the three big chains mainly and it remains to be seen how the film grows over the weekend.
