Expecting 25 Lakhs per day gross in the next weekdays which will inturn add a 1.25 Cr to the gross till Friday, that is the 36th day. Expecting another 1.25Cr gross in the 6 th weekend, then the gross will be somewhere around 37.5 Cr in 38 days.

After that expecting 20 Lakhs per day in weekdays which will make the total gross close to 38.5 Cr in 43 days. Another 75 Lakhs is expecting from that weekend that will make the total gross to cross 39 Cr in 45 days.

After that minimum 10 Lakhs per day in the week days will make the gross to touch 39.5 Cr in 50 days. Expecting a good weekend collection that will help the total gross to touch 40 Cr in 52 days.
