Shahid Kapoor’s “Haider” opened well on day one, despite clashing with Hrithik Roshan-Katrina Kaif starrer big-budget flick “Bang Bang” at the box office. The opening day collection of “Haider” was not as huge as Shahid’s previous movies but keeping in mind the clash and the screen count, the first day total was very good.

“Haider”, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”. The film was released in 1,100 screens in India, compared to the 4,300 screens of “Bang Bang”.

Collecting ₹6.14 crore, “Haider” has now taken 17th position in the top openers list of 2014. “Singham Returns” is still at top position with 30 crore, while “Bang Bang” is now at second spot with ₹27.54 crore, followed by “Kick” with 26 crore

.
The drama has received positive reviews while the word of mouth is also strong, which will help the business of the film during the extended holiday weekend.

“Haider” is targeted mostly at niche audience, and hence only a few circuits including Bangalore, Mysore, Mumbai and Pune performed well, while theatres in Rajasthan, east Punjab and West Bengal also did decent business on opening day.
