Karan Johar, Shashank Khaitan, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt can well pop the champagne, or even better - get ready to have some 'bhaang' this Holi! They can afford to be intoxicated, what with their film turning out to be a solid Hit within days of its release. The film brought in Rs. 16.05 crore more on Sunday and that was pretty much on the expected lines since it has been accepted by the family audiences. The film is seeing collections on an upwards sprint and that was evidenced on Sunday night as well when several shows across the countries were going houseful.
The film would see some dip in numbers till afternoon today since the festive season of Holi has kick-started. As a matter of fact several theaters are expected to give a break to their employees as well for these few hours. However, expect the footfalls to gain in number on a massive scale from late afternoon shows as well and right till the late evening. Due to today being a holiday, the film would see a nominal drop over its Friday number [Rs. 12.25 crore]. On a regular day a drop of around 40% would have been acceptable. However, as things stand today, it appears like a 30% drop at maximum, which is good.
Badrinath Ki Dulhania has Rs. 43.05 crore in its kitty already and a huge number today would go a long way in deciding the eventual total where the film lands up finally.
