Emraan Hashmi starrer Azhar has received a fair occupancy in the morning shows. The filmed opened with good numbers in Gujarat but struggled in metro cities like Mumbai and Delhi.

Overall, the film has opened around the average of 25% across the country, which is better than many films which released this year. The film opening is better than Emraan’s last 6-7 films but not better than Jannat 2 and Raaz 3.

If the film picks up in the evening and night shows, it will stand with a respectable total on Day 1.

Azhar already has a massive buzz in the audience and the word of mouth can also work in its favour if the movie clicks.
