Sonam
Kapoor's
Neerja
has
fared
very
well
on
the
opening
day
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
The
film
directed
by
Ram
Madhvani
and
jointly
produced
by
Atul
Kasbekar
and
Fox
Star
Hindi
is
being
loved
by
one
and
all.
This
film
is
based
on
Neerja
Bhanot
and
stars
actors,
Shabana
Azmi,
Shekhar
Ravjiani
and
others
in
small
but
pivotal
roles.
Having
released
in
700
screens
in
India
and
made
with
a
budget
of
Rs
21
crores,
the
film
opened
to
40%
occupancy
in
the
morning
shows.
The
film
initially
did
not
attract
much
attention
for
one
did
not
expect
Sonam's
film
to
have
any
value
but
suprisingly
this
film
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
best
performances
in
her
life
and
the
best
movie
she
has
ever
been
a
part
of.
Ram
Madhvani's
film
is
a
perfect
biopic
with
barely
any
flaws,
for
the
first
time
every
critic
had
only
praises
for
the
movie.
Neerja
was
out
and
out
loved
by
every
critic
and
viewers.
Trade
espert
Taran
Adarsh
reported,
"#Neerja:
Strong
merits
+
Superb
word
of
mouth
+
Glowing
reviews
spread
like
wild
fire,
even
before
Day
1
could
come
to
a
close.
Biz
witnessed
SUPER
growth
towards
evening/night
shows.
Numbers
multiplied
rapidly,
especially
at
metros."
He
further
reported
day
one
collections,
"Fri
₹
4.70
cr
[700
theatres/limited
shows].
India
biz...
Expect
biz
to
zoom
upwards
on
Sat
and
Sun...
Quality
cinema
triumphs."
This
positive
word
of
mouth
appreciation
worked
tremendously
for
the
film,
which
resulted
in
increase
of
occupancy
in
the
noon
and
evening
shows.
Weekend
figures
will
be
much
higher
as
most
of
the
shows
are
housefull.
Neerja
is
doing
well
in
both
rural
and
urban
areas
with
the
night
shows
being
fully
booked.
Neerja
clashed
with
three
other
movies,
Loveshhuda,
Direct
Ishq
and
Ishq
Forever,
but
none
of
these
could
give
it
a
tough
fight
for
all
the
three
recevied
very
bad
reviews.
