Arbaaz Khan: If Dolly Ki Doli's lifetime is Rs 40 crore, we will be a hit film

Arbaaz Khan, despite a stupendous success of his last two films Dabangg and Dabangg 2 doesn't have unrealistic expectations of his upcoming film Dolly Ki Doli. The film that is clashing with Neeraj Pandey directorial, Akshay Kumar starrer Baby is well aware of its weaknesses and strengths and the actor turned producer is using the pros to the best of its advantage.
"Baby is releasing in 2500 screens. Ours is releasing on 1200 screens and if before release the buzz gets better, the film will release on 1500 screens tops. But films like PK have shown that there is scope to earn Rs 35 crore to Rs 40 crore in a day in full capacity. Even in our week with Dolly Ki Doli and Baby, the films together are occupying 4000 screens. There is a margin of 1500 screens left still."

Arbaaz promptly added, "I am being very reasonable with my expectations. I would expect us to have a strong start. Rs 3 crore opening figure is a good number, Rs 6 crore will be better than what I am hoping for. In the end if we end up earning a lifetime of Rs 40 crore plus, we will easily be a hit film."
Dolly Ki Doli starring Sonam Kapoor along with Varun Sharma, Rajkummar Rao and Pulkit Samrat will release on January 23, ahead of the Republic Day holiday spell.
