Filmmaker Nikhil Advani's romantic thriller "Katti Batti", starring actors Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan, collected Rs.5.28 crore on its first day.

The film, which released across 1,200 screens on Friday, opened well with healthy word of mouth publicity and picked up well on evening shows, a statement said.
