Bollywood Hungama - Taran Adarsh ***and half stars
Earth shattering opening weekend and a historic week 1. Huge opening for Thursday’s paid preview, it was 100% across all places! In Mumbai alone 62 screens paid preview garnered 100%. Friday most of the places early morning show i.e. 9.30/10 am. Show is 90-95%. Place like Rohtak in Punjab collected Rs 55,000 Net out of Rs 60,000 housefull capacity. place like Amritsar be collecting Rs 1 lac which is overcapacity by 200 -250 audience. Lucknow was around 90-95% morning shows. Audience Report very Positive.
