Pre-Diwali Effect: Housefull 4 Good; Other Releases Dull On Day 1

A long Diwali festival has started with Dhanteres in India with the hope of bringing prosperity to everyone's life. However, it didn't turn out to be a good start for the film industry as most of the top releases have had a dull start at the box office. Be it Made In China, and Saand Ki Aankh, both had a poor opening.

Housefull 4, one of the most awaited and big-budgeted films of 2019, though didn't collect big numbers, it was still way ahead than the other movies. The biggest comedy entertainer of the year has not earned as expected, but with releasing 3 other films, it has done decently on the first day as it earned 19.08 Cr India net.



The day 1 occupancy of Housefull 4 remained steady throughout the day whereas it picked in the night shows. It was around 40% for the last part of the day while the average occupancy was 30% for day 1.

Among the main cities, Delhi and Mumbai which has the highest number of shows, has had an average occupancy of 27.50% for the day. Chennai had the highest occupancy with nearly 70% but it has only 40 shows due to the Tollywood film Bigil. Bengaluru and Hyderabad also did well enough with nearly 40% occupancy for each.

On the other hand, Saand Ki Aankh which is a biopic starring Bhumi Pednekar, and Taapsee Pannu, couldn't make its mark on day 1.
