In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Bollywoodlife, a distributor from Bangalore said this,”The occupancy is about 60-65% and the screen count is about 75-80 screens. It’s big number for this kind of picture. Generally we get 100-110 screens for a Salman Khan/Shah Rukh Khan picture. We were expecting 50-55 screens (for MS Dhoni) but it has crossed 75 screens. The advance bookings have been good and they are expecting a big collection today. It is also a holiday in Bangalore – Amavasya, so that is an added advantage down South.” He also mentioned that there have been no big releases except for one Karnataka movie. So that could also been another factor in the movie’s favour. The distributor did go on to mention, that the occupancy and screen count is keeping in mind the original Hindi and Tamil version both. Well! Even Bollywood trade analyst had mentioned – #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory hits it out of the park with a TERRIFIC start… Registers SUPERB opening in morning shows… Expect a BIG Fri total! So what is this Friday total going to be?
MS Dhoni himself played an active part in the film’s promotions. He also got Rajinikanth to promote the Tamil version. The movie overall has opened to positive reviews. Everyone is raving about Sushant Singh’s Dhoni act. So, will this movie turn out to be big win for Sushant? Well, the day 1 collection will totally give us the answer!
