Much-awaited
Hindi
movie
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola
starring
Imran
Khan
and
Anushka
Sharma
in
leads,
has
opened
to
a
dull
response
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
Trade
experts
say
that
the
business
of
the
film
is
being
affected
by
Punjabi
film
Saadi
Love
Story
in
North
and
Tamil
flick
Alex
Pandian
and
Telugu
movies
Naayak
and
Seethamma
Vakitlo
Sirimalle
Chettu
in
South
India.
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola
is
a
much-talked
about
romantic
comedy,
which
has
been
directed
and
produced
Vishal
Bhardwaj,
who
always
enjoys
a
good
following
amongst
the
gentry
audience.
Hence,
the
Imran
Khan
and
Anushka
Sharma
starrer
was
expected
to
start
with
a
bang
at
the
Box
Office
on
the
first
day
of
its
release.
But
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola
has
received
a
lackluster
opening
across
the
country
due
to
release
of
big-budget
regional
movies
featuring
superstars.
The
movie
has
got
an
average
response
at
the
single
screens
across
the
country,
while
it
registered
slightly
better
occupancy
at
multiplexes.
But
its
overall
occupancy
is
way
below
the
expected
mark.
The
word
of
mouth
is
likely
to
take
its
business
upwards.
However,
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola
is
a
big-budget
movie
and
its
producers
have
had
massive
promotions
prior
its
release.
Besides
this,
Imran
Khan
and
Anushka
Sharma
have
appeared
on
several
TV
channels
and
visited
various
metros
across
the
country
to
promote
it.
But
the
movie
has
garnered
mix
reviews
from
film
critics.
It
should
be
seen
whether
its
business
will
go
upwards
in
later
shows.
Stay
locked
to
this
space
to
know
the
first
day
collection
of
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola.
