Bala had a fairly good occupancy and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer has now become the 13th highest opening film of 2019
Bala starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles, had an occupancy lesser than Ayushmann's last release Dream Girl. However, Bala has finally shown its magic and the movie has now replaced Dream Girl as the 13th highest-grossing film of 2019.
Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Bala earned Rs. 9.50-9.75 crore on its opening day. On the other hand Dream Girl, starring Ayushmann with Nushrat Bharucha, had minted Rs. 9.43 crore net. The movie also had a wider release in comparison to Dream Girl. Apart from Dream Girl, Bala has also managed to beat Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike and Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De.
Bala worked well with mass audiences in Uttar Pradesh, Central India and Rajasthan. The movie also picked up well at multiplexes in Mumbai and Bangalore. The movie, however, failed to perform well in Gujarat and Saurashtra. Akshay Kumar's Housefull 4 is working well there.
