What happens when two very different Hindi films arrive in theatres on the same day? This weekend, audiences have a choice between Meghna Gulzar’s serious crime thriller Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Kunal Kemmu’s action-comedy Vibe, featuring Preity Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava.

Vibe gets the early edge at the box office

Both films opened on September 18, but Vibe initially moved ahead at the domestic box office. According to reports citing trade tracker Sacnilk, Vibe collected around Rs 2.50 crore net on day 2, while Daayra was reported at 1.60 crore, depending on the tracker and timing of the update. Vibe reportedly recorded about 19% occupancy across 2,979 shows on day two, while Daayra registered 17% occupancy across 2,061 shows.
