Mumbai: An average/above average response seemed to be on the cards but there was a surprise in store when the Subhash Ghai's latest offering, Yuvvraaj opened to a below average response all over.

A lot was expected from the real life jodi - Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif having being paired romantically first time together but their on screen chemistry appeared completely thanda.

The film has met with a disastrous response with collections in the very first week of its release. According to an industry trade source, "The film opened to 30-40% in all the major multiplexes on Friday but the collections actually dropped down further as Sunday came. Then on Monday it went lower to a poor 20-25%. Later, as the week progressed one saw just 30-40 people patronizing its show in most of the multiplexes. At some places even in big cities, the response dwindled so low that the multiplexes were left with no option but cancel some of Yuvvraaj's shows."

These reports are not encouraging and the film will find it hard to make a mark at the box office.

Yuvvraaj is Salman Khan's second big flop in recent month. His 'God Tussi Great Ho' was also a disaster at the box office.
