Great news for Akshay Kumar fans! The slow start of Thank You has given way to a pick-up. Collections at several centres across India have improved show-wise. This would not have happened had the film been rejected by the audience. In other words, although the classes are not finding the film upto their liking, the masses are enjoying the humour.
The collections of Rajasthan circuit have just come in and they are indicative of the jump. Take a look:
Jaipur: Raj Mandir cinema | 1st show | Rs. 47,000 |
2nd show | Rs. 59,000 | |

Of course, the collections haven’t picked up everywhere in the same proportion. But the trend is clear: THE FILM’S COLLECTIONS ARE ON THE RISE! Little wonder, the UTV guys (producers of ‘Thank You’) are now smiling from ear to ear and saying in chorus, “Thank you, patrons!”
