“Lapataa Ladies” had a modest opening day at the box office, despite receiving praise from both critics and audiences. This can be attributed to the lack of star power associated with the film.
It garnered approximately 70-75 lakh net on Day 1 (Friday), with an occupancy rate of around 10-11%, which is relatively low. However, with positive responses pouring in from all quarters, a significant growth is anticipated on Saturday.
Ideally, the film needs to double its collection on Day 2 to achieve a respectable total for its opening weekend. The unfolding of events on Day 2 will provide a clearer picture.
Day 1 Box Office Collection ~ 0.7-0.75 cr net approx
Day 2 Expectation – 1-1.25 cr net (Expected)
Day 1 Occupancy – 10-11% approx
