Demand data
- Rs 24.37 lakh opening-day gross bookings

- Rs 89.75 lakh booking value including block seats
- Delhi Rs 6.81 lakh
What it says about consumers
₹24.37 lakh in advance sales from 7,074 tickets points to a soft initial demand signal, making opening-day walk-ins and weekend conversion the key indicators to watch.
Next data points
- Opening-day occupancy and evening-show pickup versus the 7,074-ticket advance base.
- Saturday advance-booking acceleration, especially in Delhi/NCR and mass-market territories.
- Single-screen versus multiplex occupancy split.
- Social sentiment and audience word-of-mouth after first shows.
- Screen-count reductions or showtime replacements from Monday onward.
The counter-case
The advance is weak rather than a footfall catalyst: 7,074 tickets across 2,554 shows implies fewer than three tickets per scheduled show on average. Delhi/NCR leadership may reflect a narrow regional fan base, while modest momentum elsewhere raises the risk of poor occupancy, show cancellations and exhibitors trimming screens after opening weekend.
