Mumbai, Aug 17
(TruthDive): Despite the limited number of screens, Ekta Kapoor’s “Once
Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara”, (OUATIMD), starring Akshay Kumar as
the don has opened to a terrific response on Independence Day in India.
The movie collected approximately Rs 11 cr to 11.25 cr on its opening
day.
Movie enthusiast, Hindi movie critic and
analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#OUATIMD collected Rs 11 cr to 11.25 cr
on Thursday. Since it was a limited release, the figures are very good”.
OUATIMD was released on Independence Day
in just 1300 screens and got multiple shows in multiplexes. Even though
the film took advantage of the Independence Day, it suffered in screen
size. But, from Friday onwards the film will be screened in 2600 screens
and so the real test starts only from Friday for OUATIMD.
Talking about the screen space, Taran tweeted, “Today, #OUATIMD expands to 2500+ screens in India”.
On the opening day, the film had more
than 90% occupancy all over which was quite natural on a national
holiday for a new film that too with a limited release. The occupancy
was superb in multiplexes than that of the single screens.
On the second day (Friday), the film
started on a positive note. Film had occupancy of 45% in noon shows and
could have grown from evening onwards to better levels.
In the coming days, OUATIMD is expected
to experience a good run as the movie would take advantage over the
Bollywood film “Chennai Express” which was released on Eid. CE will
enter in its second week and generally, the collections of the film
would go down in the second week, giving way for new releases.
Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara is a
crime thriller and is the second instalment to “Once Upon A Time in
Mumbaai”. The movie has failed to impress critics, but it is riding high
on Akshay’s star value. The film directed by Milan Luthria also
features Sonakshi Sinha, Sonali Bendre and Imraan Khan in lead roles.
