    SRK starrer Chennai Express storms ahead with Rs 92 crore

    MUMBAI: Rohit Shetty’s big budget action-comedy Chennai Express has made the most of the Eid weekend solo release. The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer’s high decibel promotion has also paid rewards as the film has swept the box office to set a new weekend collection record. Also, calling it a clean family entertainer has helped, as the film ended its weekend (paid previews on 8 August included) with Rs 92 crore, an outstanding fete on all counts.

    Having exhausted a lot of its ‘Must Watch’ audience, the film has slowed down at multiplexes but holding on well at single screens. The film left no chance of using various platforms for promotions, SRK featured on popular television fiction and non-fiction shows over the past one month including Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Madhubala: Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, Comedy Nights With Kapil to name a few.

    Of the smaller releases of the last week, BA Pass starring Shilpa Shukla (Chak De India! fame) seems to have impressed the critics as a noir film! The film managed to put together Rs 5.35 crore for its first week.

    Rabba Main Kya Karoon starring Akash Chopra, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal and Riya Sen has bordered on the one crore rupees mark in its first week.

    Bajatey Raho coined as a revenge comedy and having some well known names to boast off like Tusshar Kapoor, Dolly Ahluwalia, Ranvir Shorey, Ravi Kishan, Vinay Pathak, Vishakha Singh struggled to put together another Rs 55 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 7.05 crore.

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya which marked the debut of Girish Kumar alongside Shruti Hassan collected Rs 1.2 crore in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 25.85 crore.

     

    D-Day has done reasonably well to collect Rs 1.5 crore in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 19.5 crore.

     

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which saw Farhan Akhtar depict the role of ‘the flying sikh’ Milhka Singh has collected Rs 8.5 crore in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 102.75 crore.

    MUMBAI: This was second week in running that the audience had a choice of sex film in BA Pass. The film about a nymphomaniac married woman seducing a teenage boy collected Rs 3.85 crore for its opening weekend with most of it coming from single screens in B class centres.

     

    Rabba Main Kya Karoon starring Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Akash Chopra and Riya Sen struggled to sustain through the weekend.

     

    Chor Chor Super Chor starring Beepak Dobriyal, a reasonable entertainer, failed to draw the audience.

     

    Bajatey Raho failed to cash in on its moderate face value and poor oppositions. The film managed to collect 6.5 crore for its first week.

     

    Issaq could not find many takers outside of UP; the film managed a meagre 3.6 crore in its first week.

     

    Nashaa, having opened poor, dropped further during the week to end its first week run with 3.5 crore.

     

    Luv U Soniyo just about managed to cross two crore rupees mark in its first week.

     

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya collected Rs 4.35 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 24.65 crore.

     

    Despite its reasonable price tag, D-Day will prove a loser; the film collected Rs 3.5 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 18 crore.

     

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag maintains strong collections in its third week. The film collects Rs 16.1 crore to take its three week tally to Rs 94.25 crore.
