On the other hand, Film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi, on Thursday, was quoted by Hindustan Times saying, "A 3 crore plus start is as good as a 9-10 crore start in a regular environment. Considering the current scenario, the footfalls are very encouraging. We have seen a 200% jump from the morning to evening shows. Since the reopening of theatres, Roohi is possibly the first Hindi film that is drawing people to cinemas in large numbers".
