Abhishek Bachchan’s Dum Maaro Dum managed to open better than Game. But still, the initial was less than expected. The occupancy in the morning shows was in the region of 15-30 per cent but collections picked up as the day progressed. They are expected to be better in the evening and the night shows.
Paid previews of the film were held on Thursday and except for a few multiplexes, collections in the paid previews were far from encouraging.
In Punjab, Jimmy Shergill’s Punjabi film, Dharti, released today, proved to be a huge opposition for Abhishek starrer DMD. Collections of ‘Dharti’ and ‘DMD’ are as follows:
