Mondays are crucial; you get to know which way the film is proceeding - Northwards or Southwards. PATIALA HOUSE, which had a slow start on Friday, but picked up well on Saturday and also on Sunday, maintained steady collections on Monday. The film collected approx. Rs. 2.75 cr on the fourth day, taking the 4-day total to approx. Rs. 18 cr nett. It may be recalled that Akshay Kumar starrers have, in the past, done Rs. 22 cr to Rs. 25 cr nett business in their opening weekend. Keeping that in mind, the 4-day total of PATIALA HOUSE may seem low, but the fact remains that the film is holding well.

PATIALA HOUSE is not only faring well in North India [Delhi-U.P., Punjab], but is maintaining a steady run in Mumbai circuit as well. The Mumbai circuit figures are as follows:- Fri 1.60 cr, Sat 1.80 cr, Sun 2.40 cr and Mon 1.28 cr.
