Abirami
Mall
acquired
distribution
rights
of
Tamil
Nadu
region
of
Jai
Ho
for
a
decent
price.
The
film
had
around
75
shows
in
Chennai
alone
on
the
release
day.
Occupancy
The
occupancy
for
Jai
Ho
is
expected
to
be
somewhere
around
60-65
percent
in
Chennai
on
the
first
day.
Overall,
Tamil
Nadu
occupancy
is
said
to
be
around
45-50%.
Reports
say
that
the
distributor
had

the
Chennai
occupancy
to

90%
on
the
release
day.
Second-Third
Day
In
the
second
and
third
day,
there
was
no
improvement
in
the
occupancy.
The
collections
were
decent
on
the
first
two
days,
but
saw
a
slight
dip
on
Saturday.
Ek
Tha
Tiger
A
trader
based
in
Chennai
says,
"Salman
Khan's
last
movie
Ek
Tha
Tiger
had
got
a
fantastic
opening.
It
was
released
in
about
45
screen
here
and
managed
to
pull
the
audience.
In
the
first
weekend,
the
gross
collections
had
reached
Rs
1
crore
mark.
But
the
latest
film
is
not
pulling
audience
to
that
level,"
Profit
The
trader
adds,
"At
this
pace,
the
distributor
could
only
make
decent
profit
through
this
movie.
Nonetheless,
we
can't
underestimate
the
movie
because
it
has
got
good
word-of-mouth."
Overall
Collections
Coming
back
to
the

of

Ho,
the

92+

Jai
Ho
Inspired
From
Pay
It
Forward
However,
Jai
Ho
is
loosely
inspired
from
Pay
It
Forward.
The
basic
plot
of
the
film
revolved
around
a
good-will
movement
and
the
hero
starts
it
to
make
the
world
a
better
place.
Jai
Ho
Jai
Ho
is
the
remake
of
Telugu
movie
Stalin
and
it
was
directed
by
our
own
AR
Murugadoss.
Incidentally,
the
Telugu
movie's
collection
too
did
not
live
up
to
the
expectations
even
though
it
got
positive
reviews
from
critics.
