One
of
the
most
anticipated
films
of
2018,
Shahrukh
Khan
starrer
Zero
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
Friday.
There
was
a
huge
anticipation
around
the
film
considering
it
had
King
Khan
portraying
one
of
his
most
challenging
roles
of
his
career-
that
of
a
vertically-challenged
man.
What
added
more
to
the
excitement
was
the
fact
that
the
film
marked
the
reunion
of
the
'Jab
Tak
Hain
Jaan' trio-
SRK,
Anushka
Sharma
and
Katrina
Kaif.
While
Shahrukh
Khan's
portrayal
of
pint-sized
Bauua
Singh
won
hearts
all
over,
the
film
as
a
whole,
failed
to
impress
majority
of
the
critics
who
blamed
the
inconsistent
second-half
for
the
disappointment.
Zero
too,
received
mixed
reactions
from
the
audience.
But
it
looks
like
SRK's
charm
has
worked
magic
as
Zero
has
minted
an
opening
collection
of
Rs.
20.14
crores.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted,
"#Zero
has
underperformed
on
Day
1,
despite
extensive
release
[4380
screens]
+
#Christmas
vacations...
Sat
and
Sun
biz
extremely
crucial...
Fri
₹
20.14
cr.
India
biz."
However,
the
opening
collection
of
Zero
is
higher
than
SRK's
last
release
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal
which
had
grossed
Rs.
15.25
crores
on
Day
1.
Meanwhile,
here's
how
Twitterati
reacted
to
the
film-

"@iamsrk
You
are
supremely
talented.
Not
being
biased
at
all!
Absolutely
LOVED
your
performance.
Despite
being
skeptical
about
seeing
you
as
a
vertically
challenged
character,
I
forgot
it
was
you.
You
won
me
over
as
@BauuaSingh!
#Zero
is
a
package!
Laughed
&
cried.
Proud
of
you."

"#Zero
means
zero
logic.
Whole
Katrina
episode
wasn't
necessary
at
all.
I'm
shocked
this
is
a
product
of
Anand
L
Rai.

"Coming
back
to
Mumbai
for
one
day,
skiped
the
rehearsals
too
for
the
show,
just
for
@iamsrk
's
eyes.
Every
time
i
come
to
watch
his
movies
really
very
deserving
to
let
anything
between
hands
and
just
Enjoying
his
fabulous
acting.
This
time
#Zero
Such
another
masterpiece!"

"What
to
say
about
the
vfx!
Everybody
has
already
watched
it...
But
I
just
witnessed
some
acting
worth
watching.....
Awfff....
My
mind
is
blogged
with
#Zero."

"Ok
sorry
in
advance.
#Zero
is
hugely
disappointing.
Great
first
half,
dismal
second.
#SRK
is
brilliant
throughout
-
so
is
Katrina
Kaif.
The
dialogue
is
sharp
but
everything
else
falls
flat.
Please
release
the
Nooran
Sisters/Rahat
track
in
full
-
it
was
the
best
song
in
the
film."

"This
is
the
best
SRK
performance
I
have
seen
in
years.
The
ALR
universe
is
always
absurdist
-
it
either
works
for
you
or
it
doesnt.
The
dialogue
is
very
sharp.
Of
course,
the
film
requires
a
suspension
of
disbelief
but
I
liked
it.
Liked
the
first
half
more!
