The second-weekend business will give a better idea how about its lifetime business. Being a perfect family movie, this may attract a large number of youngster during the weekends. The film is based on the battle for the throne in an animal kingdom and its internal politics. 

If it can pull a large number of movie buff to flock to theatres during weekends then entry into the Rs 100-crore club will not be far.
