Raabta First Day Box Office Collection Update: Sushant, Kriti starrer Raabta is off to an average opening. Check the first day collection report.

Sushant Singh and Kriti Sanon starrer Raabta is off to a poor opening at the domestic box office. Released on 1820 screens across the country, the movie had a poor start with 10-15% occupancy in the morning shows. It witnessed good growth especially in the night shows in high-end metros and multiplexes. Let’s have a look at Raabta first day box office collection update.

Raabta first day occupancy report

The movie had a terrible start in the morning shows with average occupancy being around 12%. The opening was in the similar range as some of the biggest disaster movies of 2017 like Rangoon, Sarkar 3 and Noor. The movie had the best start in Delhi and Mumbai but even that was way below expectations. The movie has literally no scope in mass centres and it is heavily dependent on its performance in metros and multiplexes.

The movie failed to witness big growth in the afternoon shows. The overall occupancy in the afternoon shows was around 15%. Raabta saw small growth in the evening shows but that wasn’t enough to save the day. The occupancy in the evening shows was around 20%. The movie saw big growth in the night shows especially in metros ad multiplexes. The overall occupancy on the first day was around 25%.

Raabta first day box office collection: Official numbers

The movie has a poor start in the morning shows but somehow it managed to end the first day on a respectable note. As per official figures shared by Taran Adarsh, Raabta earned 5.61 crores on its first day. It is the 9th highest opening of 2017. The opening day collection of Raabta is higher than flop movies like Ok Jaanu, Rangoon and Begum Jaan. (Read: Highest opening day grossers of 2017)

The biggest issue with Raabta is its confused plot. The movie basically has two themes, reincarnation and rom-com. While reincarnation theme movies appeal to masses, rom-com movies are favourable for classes. We really don’t what was going through the mind of the filmmakers when they were working on the script.

Raabta 1st day collection, first Friday box office reportRaabta has been made on a budget of 50 crores. The movie needs to earn at least 70 crores to be called a hit at the box office. Considering the kind of opening, it would be difficult for the movie to recover costs. It needs to earn huge amount in the first week itself as more movies are releasing next week.  (Read: Raabta budget and screen count)
