Jab Public Met Harry & Sejal On Day 1: Film Collects A Good Rs. 15.35 Crore At The Box-Office
Despite unfavourable critic reviews and average janta response, Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal has managed to earn a reasonably fair figure of Rs 15.25 crore at the box-office on Day 1. However, its much lesser to Shah Rukh's last release, Raees, which opened to the box-office at Rs 20. 42 crore
Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal may have got a lukewarm
response from critics and the public but the box-office figures on the first
day are fortunately decent.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter to share
the first day collections. He tweeted, “Fri ₹ 15.25 cr. India biz...Growth on
Sat and Sun crucial for a respectable
total.”
According to Taran, the film needs a good push on
Saturday and Sunday for it to mark a big total over the weekend. Shah
Rukh Khan has a great fan following and might pull the crowd to theatres solely
on that factor and day 2 might see an increase in its collection.

Also, Imtiaz Ali’s romantic saga is likely to face stiff
competition from Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, next
week.

Film critic and author, Khalid Mohammed, labelled
the film as gift-wrapped Bollywood bonanza. In his review with SpotboyE.com, he stated, “This
gift-wrapped Bollywood bonanza doesn’t quite shine a light, or dare I say
uplift your spirits. In lieu of deluxe entertainment, there you are with a
bickering (for starters) twosome taking off on a wild goose chase. Quack,
before it melts into tedium,”
Tough one for Shah Rukh Khan, Imtiaz Ali and Anushka
Sharma- will their star power make a difference over the weekend?
