The film had a very good opening with 100% occupancy in theatres especially in Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Hyderabadowing to release on a national holiday on the eve of Independence Day.[Due to the limited availability of screens (approximately 1000), Balaji Motion Pictures negotiated with the makers of Chennai Express to free up 1000 more screens on Friday to accommodate 2700 screens for Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!. Despite a low number of screens, the film went on to earn
90 million(US$1.4 million) nett on its opening day. However, due to heated competition with Chennai Express, the film only managed to collect
366.40 million (US$5.8 million) over its extended four-day weekend, which was considered a poor figure. Earnings dropped on Monday, collecting
