According to Box Office India, "Liger (Hindi) collected a poor 13.75 crore nett over its first weekend as collections were held back on Sunday by the big India v Pak cricket match. The film probably lost around 1.25 crore nett on the Sunday which means a fair value of around 15 crore nett for the weekend.
The best performance for the film was in CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha as single screens in these pockets fared a little better. The faces from the South are more readily accepted in these parts, especially CP and Odisha but acceptance is so limited that it does not mean much in the overall picture."
"The film also had a Telugu version released in Hindi circuits which did 50 lakhs nett with bulk of the business coming on Thursday. There was a Tamil version also but that had practically no collections. The four-day weekend business of the film in all formats across India was around 35 crore nett with Nizam / Andhra contributing around 18 crore nett," BOI added.
