Bollywood
movie
The
Dirty
Picture,
which
received
a
grand
opening
this
Friday,
has
beaten
the
record
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
John
Abraham
starrer
Desi
Boyz
which
had
collected
Rs
9
crore
at
the
Indian
Box
Office
on
the
first
day
of
its
release.
Vidya
Balan
starrer
The
Dirty
Picture
has
raked
in
Rs
10
crore
at
the
collection
centres
on
the
opening
day.
Desi
Boyz,
which
stars
Akshay
Kumar
and
John
Abraham,
Deepika
Padukone
and
Chitrangada
Singh
in
leads,
is
a
big
budget
movie
and
it
was
released
in
2,200
screens
across
the
country.
But
the
movie
opened
to
a
dull
response
with
its
occupancy
ranging
between
50%
to
65%.
Its
first
earning
(Rs
9
crore)
was
not
upto
the
expectation.
Whereas,
The
Dirty
Picture,
which
stars
Vidya
Balan,
Emraan
Hashmi,
Naseeruddin
Shah
and
Tusshar
Kapoor
in
leads,
is
a
medium
budget
movie
and
it
was
released
in
1,600
centres
across
the
country.
The
movie
registered
60-65%
collection,
while
its
occupancy
in
single
screens
ranged
between
75%
to
80%.
When
compared
to
its
volume
of
release,
the
movie
has
done
far
better
than
Desi
Boyz
at
the
Box
Office.
The
Dirty
Picture
got
rave
reviews
from
film
critics
as
well
as
it
registered
a
good
response
from
the
audience.
Many
entered
the
theatres
with
an
excitement
of
seeing
Vidya's
raunchy
show,
but
they
came
out
with
a
feeling
of
enlightment.
Now,
trade
analysts
say
that
the
word
of
mouth
is
expected
to
boost
the
collection
of
The
Dirty
Picture.
