The much-hyped `Liger`, which released in theatres on Thursday, seems to be incapable of drawing audiences. The first-day occupancy of the shows have been low, which may show up in a worrisome opening. Film trade analyst Karan Taurani of Elara Capital told IANS: "The current response to `Liger` is poor. We had earlier estimated that the film will open at Rs 30-35 crore in the South, but the response to the film in Telugu markets has been below par."
Going by the trends, the anticipated lifetime collections of the film, too, have taken a beating from the earlier projected numbers. "The lifetime collections of the film were expected to be Rs 170-180 crore, out of which 25 per cent was to come from the Hindi market, but looking at the current trends, the film is likely to achieve a lifetime figure of Rs 55-60 crore," Taurani said.
