This week, there were two major Bollywood releases. There was 102 Not Out, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in the lead and directed by Umesh Shukla. The movie reunites the Bachchan-Kapoor jodi after a gap of 27 years and is about a loving story of a 102-year old father who teaches his 70-year old son how to live life to the fullest. The concept and the promos had caught our fancy, and both the stars were strongly promoting the movie till its release date. So how did it fare at the box office?

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the movie did start off slow, collecting Rs 3.52 crore on day 1. However Taran Adarsh did let us know that the collections in the evening shows were improving, and the movie has tremendous word-of-mouth buzz. This, hopefully, will lead to some really good collections over the weekend.

At the same time, the other release of the week, Hansal Mehta's Omerta, is a non-starter at the box office, collecting only Rs 54 lakhs on its first day. Rajkummar Rao plays the lead in the movie, and has got really good reviews for his performance. However, the grim and sometimes gory tone of the movie, and the fact that it has most English dialogues reduces its chances of doing any sort of miracle at the box office.

#Omertà has a lukewarm start... Fri ₹ 54 lakhs. India biz... Needs miraculous growth over the weekend to sustain.
