On the other hand, Indian films such as Super 30 are continuing with its super business at the box office with collections staying on to be good. As has been the trend with the Hrithik Roshan-starrer ever since its release, the jumps over the weekend have been quite impressive. Especially on Saturdays, the film has had the tendency to grow very well as family audiences come out in hordes.

The film is based on the life of Patna-based mathematician and educationist, Anand Kumar. Kumar is the founder of the Super 30 programme, under which deserving students from economically-weaker sections of the society are prepared for the IIT-JEE exam for absolutely no cost. Hundreds of students from across the country have made it to the IITs under Kumar’s guidance.
