Though it stars rank newcomers, Yash Raj's new offering ISHAQZAADE fetched one of the best starts of the year at the ticket window. In fact, the morning and noon show occupancy of the film was much better than Yash Raj's BAND BAAJA BAARAAT and LADIES VERSUS RICKY BAHL and also this year's VICKY DONOR [which also stars newcomers] as well as KAHAANI. The film is expected to amass a good figure [for a non-star cast film] in its opening weekend, since the block bookings at multiplexes is very strong.
On the other hand, DANGEROUS ISHHQ opened to a lackluster start of 10% to 15% at most screens. In fact, the start was poor even at single screens, where similar genre films have opened well in the past. The film will have to show a huge growth over the weekend, if it has to post respectable numbers.
