Shivaay Economics and our expectations

Shivaay is a big budget movie and it needs to perform exceptionally well in order to recover the huge costs. The movie has created good hype and we expect it to get 14 to 15 crores opening. However, this may not prove to be enough and the movie is clashing with Ae Dil Haim Mushkil. Shivaay needs to perform well for at least two weeks. The movie needs to cross as the top grosser for Ajay Devgn (Singham Returns) to be a hit at the Box Office.
