Malang did average business in the first week. It opened to average houses on the first day which closed at Rs. 6.25 crore. There was a jump of more than 30% on Saturday which closed at Rs. 8.25 crore. However, the increase on Sunday was below the mark because the word of mouth was not upto the mark.
