Mirziya has opened to very low numbers and this the case with most newcomer films Below is a list of the opening day figures of newcomer films since 1994 where generally the male lead is a newcomer and in some films the pairing itself is being introduced. In the last few years Student Of The Year, Heropanti and Hero (Salman Khan factor) have got what can be called good openings. Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na had a good opening in 2008 (Aamir Khan factor). Saawariya in 2007 also opened well but as it was a clash with Om Shanti Om the figures looked low as the Shahrukh Khan film was almost double.
The last time that newcomer films took a huge start was along time ago. Refugee in 2000 and before that Barsaat in 1995. The former actually broke the opening day record as it was the entry of Amitabh Bachchan's son and the director J.P. Dutta was coming off one the biggest hits of all time Border and this was again a similar type of film and the audience came in hordes to watch initially. Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai took an excellentl in Mumbai circuit. Below are the opening day collections of newcomer films snce 1994. There may be some smaller films but those are not included and the list is of films which had good awareness at time of release.
