Liger Box Office Report
Vijay Deverakonda starrer witnessed a good opening. It raked in Rs 33 crore on its first day. But the collections were majorly from the Southern states while Hindi markets did not flourish as expected.
According to Box Office India, "Liger had an average opening day in Hindi as it collected 4.50 crore nett on Friday adding to the 1.25 crore nett it had collected on paid previews on Thursday. The collections on paid previews were pretty good in terms of occupancy but if they were not there the film could have had a better first day as reports spill out to the first day.

Liger has done better in Maharashtra, CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha but North India in parts is also pretty reasonable despite no face value. The film could have done much better in Gujarat and the Gujarat numbers have kept the Mumbai circuit down. Gujarat/Saurashtra is only 30 lakhs nett for the film which is less than East Punjab when it should be much higher," BOI added.
Further talking about Sunday's collection, "The film is sitting with around 5.75 crore nett in two days which is a pretty good number but the film will struggle for trajectory and then there is the big India v Pak match on Sunday which will dent growth on Sunday when the film could have put another decent number."
