Midweek B.O.: ‘Veer’ rocks at single screens, shocks at plexes

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Veer	Salman Khan, Zarine Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Sohail Khan, Puru Raaj Kumar, Aryan Vaid, Neena Gupta	Salman Khan	Poor script	The film has fared exceptionally well at single screens of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. However, the business at multiplexes was very poor. Friday was good [approx. Rs. 7 cr.], Saturday [approx. Rs. 5 cr.] saw a dip in business, while Sunday [approx. Rs. 7 cr.] was strong again. Given the fact that the share from single screens would be huge, the 3-day distributor's share works out to approx. Rs. 11 cr. Monday witnessed a fall in collections, even at single screens. Tuesday being a holiday [26th January], the business should be strong again. But the real test will begin from Wednesday. The cost works out to Rs. 70 cr. and the film will have to perform for two solid weeks in India and Overseas to recover a big chunk of the investment
