The box office in India will yield better results this week after a couple of low weeks driven a Telugu film called Love Story with support from Jungle Cruise and Qismat 2 in East Punjab and Delhi. The Telugu film had advance sales for the weekend of 91.50 lakhs nett from 70 odd properties in Hyderabad by yesterday evening (21st Sep). These are very strong numbers and most of this advance is likely to be for day one. The film also crossed 1 lakh ticket sales in Nizam / Andhra on ticketing platform Book My Show by Tuesday night.

The film is obviously a love story for the youth and with this sort of advance it will yield the best opening day figures in India post the second closure. Jungle Cruise is a film that had some potential for India but its a delayed release and piracy is going to hit the numbers but its still a better release than what we had recently.

Then in East Punjab and Delhi city there will be Qismat 2 which will lead the way. The film has not opened advance counters as the film is late with a censor but it should do well. It may not be the blockbuster opening type as that is mainly reserved for the comedies as far as Punjabi film goes but it should get a good run especially if the content connects.
