Yaariyaan does good collection in 1st weekend than Dedh Ishqiya

Prediction came true to the T when it came to two new releases – Yaariyan and Dedh Ishqiya. It was mentioned in this very column last week that the way Yaariyan had generated enough heat in the month leading to the release, it won’t be a surprise if it actually ends up doing well while giving good enough competition to Dedh Ishqiya. Though it had sounded unbelievable to believe, the signs were all there and it was a matter of choice to pick them on the way.
Well, this is what happened as Yaariyan led the show, and how, right from its opening show. Chartbuster music did the trick and the film only ended up showing good improvement as the opening day came to a close. The film got some of the poorest reviews ever for a mainstream commercial entertainer but that didn’t deter youth as close to 19 crores came in the opening weekend. Now these are fantastic numbers indeed as this not just brings the film in a safe zone but also ensures good enough profits in the making. In the process, Divya Khosla Kumar has also made a successful debut as a director.
