Highway picks up on second day, Darr @The Mall lags behind

'Highway', the much anticipated film by Imtiaz Ali had turned out to be a dampener at the box office by collecting merely Rs.3.42 crore on the opening day in India. However, the film picked up on Saturday and minted Rs.4.5 crore. The film's two-day collections at the Indian box office now stand at approximately Rs.8.25 crore.

"Highway Fri Rs.3.42 cr nett [on approx 800 screens]. India biz only", tweeted trade analyst, Taran Adarsh. 
Although critics and fans have given mixed reviews for the film, but 'Highway' is still marching ahead of the other release this weekend, 'Darr at the Mall'. 

The film has fared well particularly in multiplexes; Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgoan and Bangalore having contributed the highest collections in India. 

On the second day of its release, 'Highway' has witnessed a slight growth, having minted Rs.4.5 crore, according to a leading portal. 

The performance of the Alia-Randeep starrer so far has been decent, considering the fact that it released only in around 700 screens in India. 

Written and directed by Imtiaz Ali, 'Highway' has Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda in lead roles. The film's music has been composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman.

Deepika Padukone too busy to work with Salman Khan?

You know you're flying high when you don't have time to work with one of the biggest stars of the industry. Deepika Padukone, clearly having said goodbye to 2013 on a good note, seems to have already received more offers than she can handle come 2014.
