Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, ''Student Of The Year 2 puts up a fairly good total on day 1... business slowed down towards evening shows... Saturday and Sunday crucial... Substantial growth - especially at cineplexes - is essential for a healthy total... Friday India business is Rs. 12.06 crore."
