What's the story

Anushka Sharma's 'Pari' has opened on the similar lines of her last two production ventures 'NH 10' and 'Phillauri.' The horror film has collected Rs. 4.36 crore on its first day. Now, these may not be great numbers but are good enough considering that several theatres were shut till noon yesterday on account of Holi. Also, the film had released with zero promotions.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted Day 1 collection of 'Pari'

#Pari started slow in morning shows [some theatres were closed due to #Holi celebrations], but picked up - at metros mainly - as the day progressed... Evening/night shows reported better occupancy... Fri ₹ 4.36 cr, despite no-release in some South markets... India biz.

The film is expected to grow over the weekend

Although the reviews have been mixed, 'Pari' is expected to take advantage of the celebratory mood and soar high in the weekend. Anushka's last outing, 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', was a box office disaster. 'Pari' marks the directorial debut of Prosit Roy and also stars Parambrata Chatterjee, Rajat Kapoor and Ritabhari Chakraborty.
