As per early trends, Article 15 has collected 7-8 crores on Saturday which takes the total business in 12-13 crores range. Another jump in the collections today will take the weekend business to a much healthier note, however, Ind vs Eng match can prove to be a roadblock.

Anticipating further trouble, the exhibitors held a meeting on Saturday and decided to put the screening of the film on hold till adequate security is provided.

Nevertheless, going by the trends so far, Article 15 seems to have got its target audience’s acceptance and the film will be steady on weekdays. Now all eyes are on a good first week and lifetime numbers.

Article 15 directed by Anubhav Sinha is based on real-life incidents and talks about the issue of caste-based discrimination in India.
