Balaji Motion Pictures' Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! (OUATIMD) took an epic start at the ticket window today and the numbers only grew as the day wore on. The afternoon shows registered 70-80 per cent occupancy while the evening shows clocked 80-90 per cent. With the night shows, the film is expected to touch 100 per cent response and wrap day one with hugely impressive numbers.

Last week's release, Chennai Express too had an exceptional Independence Day today. Both films were running neck-and-neck, and will likely wrap the day with gigantic numbers. Both OUATIMD andChennai Express will enjoy a very profitable weekend even as today's impressive holiday numbers are rapidly rising.

OUATIMD has taken an extraordinary start and will reel in around Rs 10 crore, all-India, and Rs 3.5 crore in Mumbai. However, Chennai Express will earn over Rs 15 crore all-India and Rs 4.9 crore in Mumbai. Today, Chennai Express will outdo OUATIMD by a thin margin.

Sanjay Ghai, Mukta Arts, Delhi-UP

Since today is a national holiday, not a festival, every show is house full, whether Chennai Express orOUATIMD. The latter is house full and doing great business. On day one, we expect the film to earn Rs 2 crore in Delhi-UP. The film is seeing an extraordinary crowd in UP. Chennai Express will earn Rs 4.5 crore as the movie has a steady grip on movie-goers.

Jaspal Dhingra, Nanaskar Enterprise, East Punjab

No one expected OUATIMD to open to such a thumping response and most of the movie's shows have been house full since the morning. Even the evening shows are running to packed houses in multiplexes as well as single-screens. Today, OUTAIMD will earn Rs 50 lakh in East Punjab. On the other hand,Chennai Express too ran to packed houses today and it could earn Rs 1.5 crore in our circuit today. The week ahead will be fabulous for both films.

Debashish Dey, Aum Moviez, West Bengal

The dialogue and some of the songs of OUATIMD are growing on the audience like crazy and the film will earn over Rs 40 lakh on its first day. This will be a fabulous week for exhibitors because last week's release, Chennai Express, is also drawing 95-per cent occupancy and will earn around Rs 60 lakh today. Today, Chennai Express will beat OUATIMD, without a doubt.

Ajay Bagbai, Rajvi Trade Link, Gujarat-Saurashtra

Both films have evoked an extraordinary response. In Gujarat-Saurashtra, OUATIMD will collect Rs 2 crore and Chennai Expressover Rs 3 crore. Chennai Express is witnessing great business in multiplexes today. Everyone associated with both films is on the winning side!

Sarang Chandak, Shri Rang Films, CP

Both films have drawn 100-per cent occupancy. The film business is buzzing today and it seems everyone is out to watch a film.OUATIMD's growth at the ticket windows is very impressive and the film will reel in Rs 80 lakh today. Chennai Express will earn over Rs 1 crore today. The film has mesmerised the audience, who can't seem to get enough of this SRK-Rohit Shetty collaboration.

Jeetu Khandelwal, Movie Pioneers, Orissa

OUATIMD is doing good business today but Chennai Express is still going strong in Orissa. Chennai Express is seeing almost 90-per cent occupancy whereas OUATIMD had around 70 per cent. But OUATIMD will prove to be another commercial blockbuster as the numbers for the night shows is growing. On day one today, the film will earn close to Rs 20 lakh whereas Chennai Express will earn Rs 25 lakh.

Ravi Machhar, Sahyog Films, Nizam

Over the last week, Chennai Express has done fantastic business in the Nizam circuit and it is still running almost house full here. The movie will clock Rs 75 lakh in Nizam today. On the other hand,OUATIMD has also got a great response in Nizam and will do business of Rs 50 lakh today. OUATIMD'sgrowth at the ticket windows is very impressive.

Thanks to ZABARDASTI ACQUIRING ACT of CHENNAI EXPRESS makers who forced Plexes n SS not to give OUATIMD enough shows... due to which a limited release was left for OUATIMD... even with 1000+ Screens this film is HOUSEFULL in every show, seeing this huge demand, from tomorrow SHOWS are increased...

Now coming with this much low shows 10 Cr on this day is only 1 man's MAGIC - SHOAIB "AKSHAY" KUMAR... He literally OWN this film... DIALOGUES pe Seetiyaan, audience loving it.

Kind of expected this.. after seeing so many people abusing UTV etc on Twitter. Especially in Rajasthan where they couldn't watch it at all. Yet it managed to earn 10 cr.. Go Akki 🥳
