The family entertainer managed a 60% opening in single screens and 25% opening in multiplexes, despite the ongoing IPL season. Sources said, “The weekend business of Mr. X is just a bit higher than last week’s Ek Paheli Leela due to better collections at multiplexes but the cost of Ek Paheli Leela was much less. The business is extremely dull across the board and even circuits like Nizam / Andhra and CP Berar where Emraan Hashmi films had a better market have not performed better.”

So seems like things are looking up for Emraan Hashmi’s sci-fi thriller ‘Mr.X’
