Total: ₹22.59 crore. India biz (business).”

Taran further tweeted, “Day-wise growth/ decline… Saturday growth 31.15 percent. Sunday growth 37.50 percent. The national chains on Day 1, 2 and 3… Total: ₹3.35 crore/ ₹ 4.55 crore/ ₹ 5.75 crore.”

He tweeted, “Let’s get one thing straight… Zara Hatke Zara Bachke has found acceptance by the movie-going audience… Sure, the Buy-1-Get-1 [BOGO] free ticket offer has given its biz (business) the required push, but this incentive is not solely responsible for magnetising moviegoers to cinemas…”

Taran further said, “If a film faces rejection, no incentive or concession can rescue or salvage it from sinking at the box office. Most importantly, if the Buy-1-Get-1 [BOGO] free ticket offer was a foolproof strategy to lure viewers or make any film successful, then Shehzada starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon would’ve started with a bang on Day 1… That film failed to take off, despite this incentive on its opening day.”
