The trend over the weekend shows the film would perform well on Monday. New Year celebrations will further boost the film’s business on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is expected to cross Rs 100 crore marks before Week 1 concludes.
According to a report on Box Office India, the film was excellent in the North as East Punjab recorded huge collections on Sunday which were only behind the first days of War and Bharat this year. Delhi / NCR was as good as East Punjab but this did not reflect in the Delhi / UP figures as UP numbers are average. Though on Sunday UP, Gujarat / Saurashtra and Rajasthan all recorded good numbers.
Directed by debutant Raj Mehta, Good Newwz is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Hiroo Yash Johar, Shashank Khaitan and Aruna Bhatia under their respective banners Dharma Productions and Cape of Good Films. It was released on 27 December.
