Both the movies, which released on July 5 ' Lootera ' and ' Policegiri ' performed high-decibel promotions by employing various strategies. However, both of them witnessed a slow start at the box office in their morning shows on Friday. ' Lootera ' and ' Policegiri ' belong to entirely diverse genre.

' Lootera ', a high-budget visual delight featuring Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha opened with occupancy of just 10% to 15% in single screens and small towns. But, in posh multiplexes in metros, the film saw 30% occupancy and the scenario got better from the second show. There were anticipations regarding the film to grow by night in the big cities due to its positive reviews. ' Lootera ' directed by Vikramaditya Motwane could not take up a big leap as per the expectations in its initial shows, however the evening shows observed 15% to 20% development in the numbers. As the early estimates speak, ' Lootera ' should garner 4.25-4.50 crore nett on Friday,

If the movie wishes to avoid the struggle with a grand cost of 30-35 crore, ' Lootera ' has to incur at least 5 crore nett on its first day of release.
