The much-awaited RASCALS had a heartening start on the auspicious occasion of Dashehra. Though the morning shows had a 60% to 70% start, the response was lower at places due to the Dashehra festivities. However, the business of the film showed an upward trend from noon show onwards and the occupancy rose to 75% to 80% [at places, more] at the end of the day.
It needs to be clarified that RASCALS has had a curtailed release in India, since the film had opened on a weekday. From today onwards, from Friday, the film will have a full-scale release and the film is expected to pack a solid weekend. In fact, the industry is expecting the 4-day weekend to be in Rs 32 cr to Rs 35 cr nett range, which is excellent.
