MUMBAI: Salman Khan’s Veer had a mixed response, opening strongly in some pockets of the country.

According to industry estimates, the first weekend collection of Veer totaled Rs 196 million. The film collected Rs 70 million on Friday, Rs 52.5 million on Saturday and Rs 73.5 million on Sunday.

Said trade analyst Taran Adarsh, “On day one, the film did a 90 per cent business in single-screen theatres while the multiplexes witnessed around 50 to 60 per cent average through the day.”

The film seems to have opened very well in north and central India, while in the west it received moderate response.

Says Fun Republic COO Vishal Kapoor, “Though the film is doing average business, it is booked up to Tuesday in the afternoon and evening shows. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hope that the film does well in spite of the bad reviews.”
