Jab Harry Met Sejal Box Office Collection Day 1 – How Good Did The Movie Perform? Find Out
After a fantastic start at the box office, everyone is expecting Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma‘s Jab Harry Met Sejal to collect a decent amount on day one. The movie has opened with an occupancy of 50-60 per cent across India and with us expecting it to see a growth in the evening shows, Jab Harry Met Sejal should easily rake in more than Rs 20 crore. We even rung up trade expert, Akshaye Rathi (exhibitor and distributor), to confirm this and he totally agrees with us…
Talking about the opening occupancy and predicting the first day collections, Akshaye mentioned to a leading daily
“The day started for Jab Harry Met Sejal with an occupancy of 45-50 per cent across India. However, as we all know, the film targeted the urban audience, so in the urban centres and multiplexes, the occupancy has been 70 per cent plus. I expect the evening shows to pick up and I will not be surprised to see several housefull shows in the evening. So, Jab Harry Met Sejal should collect anywhere between Rs 16 – 20 crore on day one, depending on how the evening shows play out. Looking at the current trends, we are looking at somewhere around Rs 16 – 17 crore. And if the evening shows pick up, which I am expecting them to, Jab Harry Met Sejalshould make anywhere between Rs 19 – 20 crore”
As per a Bollywood Hungama report, the box office collection of Jab Harry Met Sejal did not go beyond 17.25 crores (official numbers awaited).
Taran Adarsh also described the movie as unimpressive and boring. Take a look at his tweet below

Good performances… Stunning locales… Bland and boring screenplay… Too many songs— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 4, 2017
Also, trade expert Sumit Kadel added,
“Jab Harry Met Sejal may surpass Raees and Dilwale given the condition that the content has been liked by the audience.”
The comments by Sumit Kadel were cited in a report by Koimoi. Also, Sumit Kadel in a chat with Koimoi said that if Jab Harry Met Sejal can sustain well after weekend, then it’ll easily collect Rs 160-170 crores in its lifetime.
With 3100 plus screens at its disposal and decent reviews from the public as well as the critics, we expect Jab Harry Met Sejal to have a fantastic run at the box office. Anyway, what do you guys have to say about the movie? Share with us your reviews in the comments section below!
