The Abhishek Bachchan-Sonam Kapoor starrer Delhi 6 raked in a Rs. 330 million (33 crore) opening weekend. Its collections in India were around 28 crores gross.

The film had in fact increased collections on Saturday from Friday the day before and after the weekend, Monday was very steady, despite many predicting a crash on Saturday itself, and then Tuesday ended up being almost equally stable. In fact several theaters had 10 pm shows on even Tuesday reporting sellouts.

Even if the coming days were to drop appreciably, the film at this point is assured of a healthy week 1 gross, probably approximating 40 crores (Rs. 400 million), ahead of many more expensive films. But given that no new films are coming up in the weeks ahead, there's a good chance Delhi 6 will stay the top grosser of year for a while up ahead.

Meanwhile post its success at the Oscars, there is talk that Slumdog Millionaire may have increased prints taken on in Indian theaters to capitalize on the Oscar windfall.
