Mumbai circuit is the underperformer but this was the case with Saiyaara and the circuit breakdown is also pretty similar to Saiyaara with overall collections being just a little more than Saiyaara. The film is alreday a HIT film and its just about does the fi
lm become a SUPER HIT or BLOCKBUSTER film and results post the weekend will determine that. The costs of the film are less than Saiyaara.
Awaarapan 2 is in the same zone as Saiyaara, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat and Tere Ishq Mein and all these films have done very well and without star casts mainly because the love story has appeal for that core Hindi belt. Here in Awaarapan 2 the love story may well be weaker but the first part was strong and its carrying the nostalgia of that film which did well post release after a weak theatrical run. The music of the first part was huge and this film is coming with the same songs.
There is a the Independence Day holiday on saturday so the film shoudl get a bump up but it wont be huge as the film has opeend so well on teh first day itself. The business is huge in those centers which dont grow much on Saturday but as its a huge holiday they should be better. The film is lesser in the likes of Mumbai and Pune but they wont matter in the bigger picture. You would rather being taken a huge start in the Hindi belts rather than Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore.
