Delhi-6 grosses 4.80 crores on first day

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's dream project Delhi-6 has been one of the most-anticipated flicks of recent times. With the music topping the chart-busters' list and Sonam Kapoor's immaculate beauty rivalling her pet pigeon Masakali's fame, Delhi-6 appeared to be yet another refreshing, 'desi' work from the director of Rang De Basanti and Aks. But the Thursday night premiere triggered off mixed reviews and that had a slight impact on the film's opening day collection at the box office. The movie also faced a bit of a commotion with the rift between the Producers' Council and the multiplex owners.

However, innovative promos and an extraordinary star cast have saved the film's fate at the box office. Delhi-6 is reported to have grossed a whopping Rs. 4.80 crores on the opening day. Reports say that the film saw a below-average response in Mumbai and suburbs, but did well in other places, especially in and around Delhi. Sources also say that UTV Motion Pictures have grossed Rs. 17-18 crores in the domestic market with Sunday seeing good box office numbers. We have to wait till next week to know the audience's verdict on this film and its�success at the box office.
