The
much-awaited
Billu
opened
to
a
tepid
response
of
25%
to
35%
at
various
screens
across
the
nation.
However,
the
silver
lining
was
that
the
film
is
enjoyed
positive
reports
and
the
next
two
days
turned
out
better.
Most
exhibitors
aren't
surprised
with
the
slow
start,
since
it
was
evident
from
the
promotion
that
the
story
revolves
around
Irrfan
and
that
it
wasn't
the
conventional
SRK
film,
like
Om
Shanti
Om.
The
other
two
releases,
The
Stoneman
Murders
and
Jugaad,
have
also
opened
with
dull
collections.
