There can be some sigh of relief for Ayushmann Khurrana. His Doctor G is doing little better than his Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, which was in a similar zone with the exact same set of target audience. That film had taken a start of Rs. 3.75 crores and now Doctor G opened marginally better at Rs. 3.87 crores. However, it is the trajectory over the weekend which is a tad better which makes one more wishful about his newest release.
While Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui had seen an opening weekend of Rs. 14.53 crores, Doctor G is somewhat better at Rs. 15.03 crores. This was made possible after Saturday brought in Rs. 5.22 crores and then Sunday grew further to Rs. 5.94 crores. A better number is of course always a good sign, though honestly the weekend needed to be more in the Rs. 18-20 crores zone to at least to warrant an overall decent lifetime.
So far, the film seems to be aiming at a lifetime of Rs. 30-35 crores, though a superb hold on Monday could enhance its fortunes. Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui had a first week of Rs. 22.61 crores and then a lifetime of Rs. 28.26 crores. Doctor G will have a first week of Rs. 25-26 crores and then it’s about how much more it can collect in days post that.
