Secret Superstar held on decently on Monday to bring in Rs. 3.5 crore more*. With three good days behind it, the film was expected to show a drop over the Friday collections [Rs. 9.30 crore] and hence the numbers that eventually came in are fair enough. The Aamir Khan film has collected Rs. 34.81 crore* so far and should be in the vicinity of Rs. 45 crore before the first week comes to a close.

Though the film is managing this kind of business with a clash, it would have done something similar on a solo arrival as well. That’s because its release on Diwali has allowed it all the hype and pre-release publicity which led to better awareness. On the other hand a release on a regular week would have meant that at least some other big film would either have been running in the previous week or arrived a week later. As a result, the placement in theatres as well as associated buzz wouldn’t have been as neat as it is today.

The Zaira Wasim starrer is not a major success in the making but for the genre and treatment that it carries, the numbers are coming in line with the audience that is expected out of it.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
