‘TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR’ OPENS WELL BUT SUFFERS ON ACCOUNT OF MID-WEEK RELEASE DUE TO HOLIDAY CONFUSION

TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR, which opened on Wednesday (8th March) to take advantage of the Holi holiday, ended up suffering too because some states observed the holiday a day earlier, on 7th. Resultantly, collections in those states on the opening day (8th) were below the mark as it wasn’t a holiday on the day of release. Collections on the second day, as expected, dropped — by 33%. The film fared well in multiplexes but was not up to the mark in single-screen cinemas. The first day’s all-India total, in spite of the ‘fractured’ holiday, was an impressive Rs. 14.25 crore. The net collection figure on Thursday was Rs. 9.50 crore. Friday closed at Rs. 9.25 crore. Collections today (Saturday) have shown a noteworthy jump.
