It was a much better Saturday for Doctor G as Rs. 5.22 crores came in. Ideally, these should have been the Friday numbers but then post-pandemic, expectations have been kept under check and hence anything in Rs. 3-5 crores was expected as the first day total. After that was accomplished with Rs. 3.87 crores coming in, it was all about how much would the film make on Saturday and while 6 crores was more optimal to suggest an overall good weekend total, at the bare minimum the film needed to cross the Rs. 5 crores mark.
With that happening, at least the hopes are alive now that this Ayushmann Khurrana led film could cover some kind of a distance. Of course it’s not out of the woods yet and there is a lot that yet needs to be done. However, this is thankfully not one of those dead-on-arrival movies that turn out to be losers on the first day itself and hence further jump in collections today followed by Monday footfalls holding well could tilt its fortunes.
So far, the film with Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah in other principal roles has collected Rs. 9.09 crores and all eyes are on Rs. 15 crores weekend. Again, ideally the film should have found itself on a much more solid footing with Rs. 18-20 crores in its kitty by the time the opening weekend was through. However, it could easily have been over and out with a Rs. 12-13 crores weekend and thankfully that’s not turning out to be the case for Doctor G.
