In Noida and Faridabad, the film had a record breaking start with around 98 percent occupancy, according to Koimoi.com.

The business at multiplexes and single screens has been quite exceptional. As per the early estimates, the film would break "Dhoom 3" opening day record. However, a lot depends on how multiplexes and single screens earn through the day.
