Mumbai, Pune, National Capital Region (NCR) and CP Berar circuits have performed their best compared to others on opening day and on Saturday.
The two days business of the film is in the same range as Khan's "Kick" and weekend business of "Singham Returns" will also be in the same range.
"Kick" minted ₹83 crore in first weekend, "Singham Returns" is also expected to show same trend and earn more than ₹80 crore.
