Bollywood,
which
witnessed
lackluster
start
in
2013,
has
released
two
films
like
Saif
Ali
Khan's
much-awaited
movie
Race
2
and
Akaash
Vani
today.
The
Race
sequel
starring
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Anil
Kapoor,
John
Abraham,
Jacqueline
Fernandez
and
Deepika
Padukone
in
leads,
has
got
a
fantastic
opening
at
the
Indian
Box
Office,
while
the
latter
received
a
lackluster
start.
Early
trends
show
that
Race
2
will
beat
the
first
day
record
of
Race
and
Saif's
previous
release
Cocktail.
Race
2,
which
went
on
floors
in
October
2011,
has
been
creating
buzz
ever
since
Race
became
a
big
hit
at
the
Box
Office.
The
Abbas-Mustan
directed
action
thriller
has
started
on
a
robust
note.
The
movie
has
registered
70%
to
80%
occupancy
at
multiplexes
and
single
screens
in
several
circuits.
But
the
footfalls
at
certain
other
places
were
below
50%
in
the
morning
shows.
Since
it
is
Eid-E-Milad
holiday,
Race
2
seemed
to
be
picking
up
well
at
the
Box
Office.
The
movie
is
expected
to
get
better
towards
the
evening/night
shows.
Saturday
is
also
holiday
due
to
Republic
day
and
hence
the
movie
will
rock
at
ticket
windows
across
the
country.
Trade
experts
feel
that
it
will
do
a
record-breaking
collection
at
the
domestic
Box
Office
on
the
day
one
as
well
as
over
the
weekend.
However,
another
Hindi
new
release
Akaash
Vani
has
received
a
very
poor
response
at
the
domestic
Box
Office.
It
should
be
seen
whether
it
will
show
a
big
jump
in
the
evening
and
night
shows.

the
Box
Office
report
on
Race
2
and
Akaash
Vani
first
day
collection.
