The film, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and starring Sonakshi Sinha, opened to a rather slow start on Friday morning shows, but picked up in the evening to record the first day total of Rs. 12.18 crore net at the India box office, according to trade figures.
The film has fared well in Mumbai sector and is expected to perform well at single screens across India.
Movie Review: 'Holiday - A Solider Is Never Off Duty' is slick but overlong action thriller
Just for comparison, Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty is the fourth best opener of the year 2014. However, it is far from being the best opener for Akshay Kumar. His best opening film to date is Rowdy Rathore.
Given the film’s 12.18 crore opening, one expects it to mint close to Rs. 40 crore in its opening weekend.
The other release of the weekend, Filmistan flunked on Friday with just Rs. 51 lakhs in its kitty.
Among the last week’s releases, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi is a washout and Citylights too has flopped.
The coming week would see the release of Fugly and Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai. The next big release would be Humshakals on June 20.
