Dishoom movie collections prediction: This John Abraham, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Akshay Kumar (cameo) film will entice movie lovers with its cricketing theme, India-Pakistan rivalry and add to that a crime connection – the kidnapping of an Indian cricketer and there is just 36 hours to go before the start of this high profile match. With this background in place, Dishoom collection prediction becomes an exercise of soaring expectations. However, monsoon is playing spoilsport, leaving top cities across the country flooded giving no chance to many people to watch the early morning shows – they will surely prefer pakodas with tea at home, rather than struggling with flooded roads!

Does Dishoom have the Rs 100 cr potential? Looking at how the film has the action and the comedy pat and even boasts cameos from the superstar Akhay Kumar who complements and takes John Abraham, Varun Dhawan bonding to a much higher plane, and then there is Nargis Fakhri too, an entry into the exclusive Rs 100 cr club is a definite possibility with these kind of performances.

However, Dishoom opening day occupancy rate expectations were for it to reach as high as 50-55%. The theatres are seeing quite a good traffic and seats filled up fast in the initial shows despite the rain and much more is expected in the evening as people let their hair down and plan an exciting few hours of fun, food and frolic to celebrate the end of the working week. Whether it is a family outing, colleagues eyeing a welcome break from the starchy professional situation, or a couple craving for some extra hours of quality time together, the new India will be out in strength for sure as the darkness approaches.

While the eventual target of any multi-starrer movie is the Rs 100 crore mark, they don’t hit it on the first day! No, not even Salman Khan, nor miracle man Rajinikanth have managed to hit even half that ever – only one movie, Baahubali, has done that. But as far as Dishoom is concerned with the kind of occupancy rate we are seeing, the collections figures that these will translate into will be around Rs 15 cr. Dishoom will positively get a big boost on Saturday and Sunday – the true weekend.

The interest in Dishoom movie is likely to stay high for quite some time because the India-Pakistan face-off on the terror theme is set to continue and if Virat Kohli and co smash through the West Indies again over the next couple of weeks, John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and the filmmakers will be laughing all the way to the bank. And we still haven’t talked about the word-of-mouth booster shot. Since content is fine and the audiences likely to be pleased, most are going to praise the movie to whosoever they meet or speak to. While figuring all this from a distance is all very well, exactly how this will translate on the ground is another ball-game. For that, stay tuned to this space for updates on Dishoom.
