'Phantom' begins with an average note on opening day

Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif starrer 'Phantom' hits the screens today. The film was in news prior to its release due to its theme and created much waves. It was expected to attract the audience after the buzz. Going by the report, 'Phantom' began with an average note on day one.

The patriotic movie witnessed just 4% occupancy during its morning shows. Two more films released today, 'Kaun Kitney Paani Mein' and 'Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat'. As no big face features in these films, 'Phantom' is less likely to have any competition from these or previous releases. This directorial by Kabir Khan is expected to show improvement in numbers during its evening and night shows. Obviously, the word-of-mouth publicity can change the scene.
