The Shaukeens has started off on an average note at the Domestic Box Office. After a below average opening in the morning shows, the film showed a slow growth on the first day. According to early estimates, the film has collected approximately 5 crores on 1st Friday i.e. Day 1 at the domestic box office.

With an average opening for morning shows, the film did not pick up much later in the day. The film has received mixed reviews and it is yet to see how the audiences are responding to the comedy drama during the weekend. The star cast of the film is well-known and Akshay Kumar who has a cameo in the film is certainly the highlight.

Happy New Year is in its third week and is the main competition for The Shaukeens since the other release Rang Rasiya will have a limited niche audience.
