After
Housefull
opened
to
an
excellent
start
last
week,
it
was
the
turn
of
Badmaash
Company
to
open
to
a
heartening
start
at
the
box-office.
Shahid
Kapoor's
last
major
release
Chance
Pe
Dance
(not
counting
Paathshaala)
had
fetched
a
below
average
start,
so
it
was
imperative
that
Badmaash
Company
fetch
a
good
start
at
the
ticket
window.
The
opening
numbers
of
Badmaash
Company
were
an
impressive
80%
to
90%
at
places,
while
at
places
it
ranged
from
45%
to
75%,
which
only
improved
towards
the
evening
shows.
The
opening
weekend
of
Badmaash
Company
is
expected
to
be
better,
given
the
fact
that
the
film
has
tremendous
youth
appeal
and
that
in
turn
should
witness
an
escalation
in
business.
Overall,
the
film
should
have
a
very
good
weekend,
which
reinforces
Yash
Raj
and
Shahid's
pull
at
the
ticket
window.
The
second
release
of
the
week,
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife,
had
a
disastrous
start
at
the
box-office.
The
opening
was
in
5%
to
10%
range
and
since
the
reports
are
terrible,
the
numbers
are
not
expected
to
show
a
major
jump
on
Saturday
and
Sunday.
