Haq Vs Jatadhara box office prediction Day 1

Producer and film business expert Girish Johar informed us that Haq is projected to earn over Rs 3 crore on its first day. Jatadhara could earn in the range of Rs 1-2 crore in the Hindi belt. The earnings post the release will totally depend on the strong word of mouth.

"The feedback for Haq is very positive, and the towering performances from Yami and Emraan have been praised a lot. It's also a very smart release. I will be happy if the film opens to anywhere around Rs 3 crore+ and then over the weekend it can jump, giving it a solid success," Johar said.

When asked if Haq will be facing competition from Jatadhara, Johar said, "Jatadhara is a hardcore mass entertainer, while Haq is a completely different film. Sonakshi Sinha starrer has lots of action, horror and mystic elements. The markets of both films are different."

Jatadhara is also tracking quite well, and it has a good chance to perform well at the box office. It is expected to earn around Rs 1 crore+ on Day 1," he added.

"It is a bilingual film, and Jatadhara in Telugu will be big. So, combining both Telugu and Hindi versions, it could outdo Haq," he said further.
