On the other hand, the Milap Zaveri-directorial Marjaavaan, which also stars Tara Sutaria, Riteish Deshmukh and Rakul Preet Singh, features Sidharth Malhotra as a larger-than-life hero who breaks bones and utters dialogues that reminds of the Angry Young Man image of Bollywood's retro era. He is seen as a hotheaded young man who falls in love with a girl who cannot speak.

In its first week, the film collected Rs 2.53 crore on Thursday, taking the overall collections to Rs 37.87 crore. Here's what Taran tweeted:

#Marjaavaann has a healthy Week 1... Scored at single screens... Multiplexes outside metros better... Fri 7.03 cr, Sat 7.21 cr, Sun 10.18 cr, Mon 4.15 cr, Tue 3.61 cr, Wed 3.16 cr, Thu 2.53 cr. Total: 37.87 cr. #India biz.
