While the business sky-rocked last Friday, with HEROPANTI, KOCHADAIIYAAN [in Tamil Nadu specifically] and the newest instalment of X-MEN opening to a heartening response, the two prominent films that released today, namely CITYLIGHTS and KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI, opened to lacklustre response across the nation. While CITYLIGHTS has an edge, both CITYLIGHTS and KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI are heavily dependent on word of mouth and will need a miraculous jump over the weekend to post healthy numbers.
Meanwhile, last week's HEROPANTI continues its successful run at the box-office, garnering a better response than the new releases. As per early trends, HEROPANTI is expected to dominate the domestic BO, despite the two new releases grabbing a good share of screens and shows.
