Jai Ho is struggling at multiplexes in almost every circuit in India, except Mumbai where it has held up well for the noon shows after a good start in the morning.
Single-screens are rock-solid, but even at mass-centres the opening is not quite at the same level as what we’ve come to expect from Salman Khan films. Business in South India was pretty flat too, with the film performing well only at select few centres.
The reason behind a good but below-expectations start, could be due to the excess of action-masala films in recent times. Also, Jai Ho didn’t have a popular leading lady and lacked high-production values which is turning out to be the key for a good opening at big-city multiplexes.
The start has practically ruled out any chance of records on Day 1. The only record that Jai Ho could better is for the highest non-holiday opening for a Salman Khan starrer, which is currently held by Dabangg 2 (20.98 crore). But even for that, the film has to pick up at multiplexes towards the end of the day.
As of now, it looks like Jai Ho is likely to be collect around 18-19 crore net on its opening day at the domestic box office.
Stay tuned for the evening and late night update on Jai Ho.
