After
Patiala
House
last
Friday,
7
Khoon
Maaf
opened
to
a
lukewarm
response
across
the
country
this
morning.
The
business
was
shockingly
low
at
single
screens
[8%
to
10%],
but
slightly
better
at
multiplexes
[15%
to
20%].
In
fact,
the
industry
was
hopeful
that
7
Khoon
Maaf
would
garner
50%
to
60%
start
at
plexes
due
to
three
factors:
[i]
The
song
'Darling'
has
become
extremely
popular,
[ii]
The
terrific
pre-release
promotions
and
[iii]
The
credibility
of
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
Priyanka
Chopra.
But
the
poor
figures,
even
at
plexes,
came
as
a
shocker.
The
audience
feedback
seems
mixed,
in
fact
completely
in
sync
with
what
this
writer
wrote
in
the
review
["the
film
will
meet
with
diverse
reactions
-
some
will
fancy
it,
while
some
will
abhor
it."].
It
remains
to
be
seen
if
the
film
is
able
to
withstand
the
tough
opposition
posed
by
the
World
Cup
cricket
matches,
which
commence
non-stop
from
tomorrow
[Saturday]
onwards.

Khoon
Maaf"
