FAN had a good first day of 18.75-19 crore nett approx with strong business in the cities especially the metros. The mass centres are lower comparatively but still good for the type of film as these type of films don't do 80 lakhs plus numbers in CP Berar and Rajasthan. Normally they are much lower but these have come due to the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and key is whether they can hold for the film to put up a very big final number.
The best figures are in the metros where the high collecting multiplexes are higher than DILWALE. Mumbai circuit has topped 5 crore nett while Mysore and West Bengal should both cross 1.25 crore nett. East Punjab is on the lower side at 1.75 crore nett plus and could have done better considering its a big holiday there and a huge multiplex presence.
The opening day has come for the film but now its about what happens in the next few days as looking at the first day collections, it does seem to be more of an urban film and the opening day is very high for an urban film. The question will be can it hold and if so for how long as eventually there is a limited audience for an urban film.
