The Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher starrer Uunchai was released a day ago. After receiving positive reviews, the business of the film was expected to start off on a decent note. Living up to expectations the Sooraj Barjatiya directed film opened on a steady note with Rs. 1.81 cr. coming in on its opening day. Now on its second day running, the film has seen an increase of nearly 50% at the box office.
Interestingly, despite a relatively small release across just 483 screens with major centers featuring four shows per day, Uunchai has opened strong. Going forward the film, which will see a staggered release with the makers adding more shows and screens as the film picks up, is expected to continue its box office run. As of Day 2 morning and early afternoon shows, the film has shown a 50% growth with the business of the film likely to cross Rs. 3 cr. on Saturday.
Going forward, with strong word of mouth and positive feedback from the audience and critics alike, Uunchai is certain to grow. In fact, expectations are that as family audiences warm up to the film, the business of Uunchai will see even further growth.
