Reveals a respected trade analyst, “Small screens like Gaiety, Galaxy, Chandan and the likes are already opening to packed houses across main cities approximately between 70 to 100 % and since this week will have as good as an extended weekend– theatres seem to remain packed till Republic Day.”
What’s bigger news is that Veer has broken records of Salman Khan’s previous hit Wanted. Adds the trade analyst, “Veer has scored the second biggest opening day turn over ever in Bollywood in Central India. The business is the second best first day ever in the history of Hindi cinema- An approximate 27.33 lakhs.”
