Box Office: ‘Hero’ starts weaving magic thanks to Salman Khan

The much-awaited ��Hero�۪ starring Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty has released and seems to be getting off to a decent start at the Indian box office.

The film is produced under Salman Khan�۪s production house and this has helped it tremendously as Khan has been active in promotions along with the actors who are both debutantes. Box Office India quote a 30% occupancy which is pretty decent. Mumbai, Gujarat and Rajasthan have seen the best openings of the film. It will need to rely on word of mouth to make sure business remains steady through the weekend.

Last week�۪s ��Welcome Back�۪ has had a decent first week domestically as well as overseas.
