HAPPY NEW YEAR Posts Another Strong Day At Box OfficeOne of the biggest releases of the year ''Happy New Year'' released yesterday on one of the biggest holiday of the year which is post Diwali. Film has huge pre release buzz and it is expected to shatter few records in first three day itself. Though like all big releases in recent times film has mixed reviews from few ''usual suspected'' sources but that does not matter as box office hurricane has arrived truly in style.
Film opened to tremendous response all over in morning itself. Film was close to housefull in early morning shows in Mumbai which is a rarity for any film these days even on festivals. Film was solid in Gujarat, central India and north picked from evening onwards. Film collected humongous 44.97 cr nett on day one which was by far highest ever opening day in history of Bollywood.
Today again film has started on strong note and though there is 15% drop in circuit like Rajasthan but then that is a good indicator considering Rajasthan was weak even yesterday. Gujarat and few other areas were affected by pooja and Delhi city took hit in evening due to riot in few areas.
Film looks to cross 37-38 cr nett today as of now and that means it will have unbelievable total of 82 cr nett in two days. Though final tally might vary by 5-7% depending on night shows in metros. This looks huge blockbuster at the moment.
