Actor Ajay Devgn-starrer Bholaa finally hit the theatres on Thursday and has received a decent response from the audience. As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film raked in Rs 11.20 crore in India on its opening day. "#Bholaa puts up a decent score on Day 1 [#RamNavmi]... Healthy footfalls during spot bookings - towards evening shows specifically - compensate for the low turnout in morning + noon shows... Thu Rs 11.20 cr. #India biz. Day 1 biz tilts more towards mass centres, with #Mumbai remaining low... Needs to gather pace over the weekend for a respectable total," Taran tweeted.
