This is the third highest opening day collection for a Ranveer Singh film after Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-leela (2013) which had bagged Rs15.85 crore and Bajirao Mastani (2015) which had got Rs12.80 crore.
Despite the largely negative reviews, Befikre has got off to a good start, but given its Rs70 crore budget, the film will need to get bigger collections over the weekend.
