#SuiDhaaga should have ₹ 35 cr [+/-] opening weekend, as per current trending... As mentioned earlier, the evening shows on Day 4 [Mon] should witness momentum, while Day 5 [Tue] - a national holiday [Gandhi Jayanti] - should record big numbers again.

The film’s opening weekend earnings are expected to reach Rs 35 crores. The upcoming national holiday of Gandhi Jayanti on 2 October and the shows on the evening prior to it should also help spike up the Yash Raj feature’s box-office collection.

Meanwhile, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Pataakha , a story about two warring sisters played by Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan has picked up pace, earning Rs 1.40 crores on its second day. The national holiday should be advantageous for this film as well. It is to be noted that while Sui Dhaaga is being played in 2500 screens across the country, Pataakha in its comparison was only released in 875 screens.

#Pataakha shows positive trending on Day 2, but needs to recover lost ground by maintaining a strong momentum on Day 3 and subsequent days... Will get advantage of holiday on Day 5 [Tue]... Fri 90 lakhs, Sat 1.40 cr. Total: ₹ 2.30 cr [875 screens]. India biz.
