‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ BO collection day 1 early estimates

‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ has finally released in theatres after much conflict. The film was supposed to release in cinemas on May 9. However, due to the tensions between India and Pakistan at that point, the makers had announced that they will release the movie on OTT.

This sudden change of plan led to PVR Inox file a lawsuit against the producers of the film. Eventually, it has been decided that the film will release in cinemas, on May 23. Now that it has finally released, it is expected to have a decent day 1 number.The film is mounted on a moderate budget and hence the expected number as per early estimates is considered pretty decent. As per Sacnilk, till the evening shows, the movie had earned Rs 6.38 crore on Friday.

The numbers can grow with the night shows and hence one can expect the movie to earn somewhere between Rs 7-9 crore on opening day. It will be great if it manages to cross the Rs 10 crore mark.The tickets of the film are kept at a discounted rate at the moment which has hugely benefitted it. But if there is positive word of mouth, the numbers may grow over the weekend. As per Box Office India, the film is expected to do better in the Hindi circuits and two-tier cities. But largely, the good number on Day 1 is due to the discounted ticket rates. But the weekend will be a huge deciding factor to know if the film has actually striked a chord.

At the moment, ‘Raid 2’ is also slowly losing its steam but ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ may give ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ a tough competition.
