Earnings can increase today

And according to trade pundits, Wednesday's release has overshadowed the film in some regions in the Hindi belt Gujarat/Saurashtra, CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan. Also, on January 26, it is expected to see a good jump in the collections. According to Box Office India the film has done extremely well in other Hindi belts of UP and Bihar. However, here too a release on a traditional Friday or a national holiday would yield better results.
