:Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai opens well; Varun Dhawan starrer collects Rs. 8.50 crores on Day 1 Box Office

Varun Dhawan's film *Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai*, directed by David Dhawan, has started well at the box office in India. Early estimates suggest that the comedy action movie earned between Rs. 8.25 crore and Rs. 8.75 crore on Friday, which is better than what people expected.

The movie collected about Rs. 4.25 crore from major multiplex chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis, which makes up around 55% of the total earnings.

 The rest came from smaller chains and single screen theatres, which helped bring the share of big chains down from 60% to 55%.

The film looks promising for the rest of the weekend.

 If it makes 50% more on Saturday, it could be on its way to becoming a box office hit. Families are expected to come in large numbers over the next two days, and the real test will be on Monday.

*Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai* was made with controlled costs, and it needs to earn around Rs. 70 crore in India to break even.

 The strong start gives the film a good chance to reach that target in the coming days.
