  • Bahubali & King Kong etc aid Sony Max continuance in Top 10

    BENGALURU: This is the second week in a row after the tenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 10) that good movies have found a place for Sony Pictures Network (SPN) Hindi Movies channel Sony Max in the weekly top 10 channels list across genre. The Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC) list of top 10 channels for week 25 (Saturday, 17 June 2017 to Friday, 23 June 2017) has Sony Max at sixth rank with 543.438 million weekly impressions, far improved from the ninth rank with 460.016 million weekly impressions for week 24. The movies Bahubali – The Beginning, King Kong, Double Attack 2 and Sooryavansham, which were among the five most watched weekly programmes in the Hindi Movies and Hindi Movies Urban markets seemed to have helped in the presence and escalation of the movie channel in a list that is generally dominated by either GECs’ or channels that air sports events aka cricket.

    Three channels from the SPN stable, two channels each from the Sun TV Networks, Viacom 18 and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (Zeel) stables and one from the Star India group made it to the BARC India weekly top 10 channels across genres list for week 25 of 2017. Putting it another way – One channel each from the Tamil GEC, Telugu GEC and Hindi Movies genres and seven channels from the Hindi GEC genre made up the BARC weekly top 10 channels list for week 25.

    With the end of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in the early part of week 24, Star India’s Star Sports 1 Hindi exited the weekly top ten channels across genres in week 25. Sun TV continued to lead the list at first place with 1017.773 million weekly impressions, followed by Star India’s flagship Hindi GEC channel Star Plus with 640.486 million impressions at second place. Zeel’s Hindi GEC Zee Anmol was at third place with 581.906 million weekly impressions followed by SPN’s Hindi GEC women centric channel Sony Pal with 563.41 million impressions at fourth rank – a rank that the channel has retained for the third week in a row.

    Network 18 (Viacom 18) channel Rishtey was at fifth place with 550.796 million weekly impressions – this was the fourth week in a row that Rishtey maintained the fifth place in BARC’s weekly top 10 channels across genre list. As mentioned above, Sony Max was at sixth place, followed by another Viacom 18 channel – its flagship Hindi GEC – Colors with 525.45 million weekly impressions at seventh place. Colors had been ranked tenth in the previous week.

    Zeel’s flagship Hindi GEC Zee TV with 516.04 million weekly impressions was at eighth place followed by the Sun Network’s Telugu flagship GEC Gemini TV with 493.489 million weekly impressions at ninth place. SPN’s Hindi channel specializing in comedy and lighthearted drama shows – Sony Sab completed the dectet with 454.614 million weekly impressions.

  • Box Office: ‘Hero’ collects Rs 20 crore in its opening weekend

    Box Office: ‘Hero’ collects Rs 20 crore in its opening weekend

    MUMBAI: The Sooraj Pancholi – Athiya Shetty starrer Hero does not work despite high promotion and solo release status. A botched up job, the film suffers from poor scripting followed by equally poor direction and lacking support from its musical score.

     

    The film opened with below average response and managed low collections on day one. While the collections failed to improve on Saturday, it managed to marginally pick up on Sunday. The film collected Rs 20.15 crore in its opening weekend and will find it tough to sustain through the week.

     

    Welcome Back does well in its first week thanks to its good opening weekend. The weekdays thereafter showed a marked decline. However, the film collects Rs 73.1 crore in its first week. The film stands to gain from poor opposition in its second week but may still have to struggle to make it to the Rs 100 crore mark.

     

    Phantom drops to about 10 per cent of its first week collection and adds just Rs 4.1 crore in its second week, which takes its two week tally to Rs 49.9 crore.

     

    Manji: The Mountain Man collects Rs 45 lakh in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 12.7 crore. The film’s box office run has practically come to an end.

     

    Bajrangi Bhaijaan collected Rs 25 lakh in its eighth week taking its total box office collections to Rs 318.1 crore. 

     

    Bahubali: The Beginning (Hindi-Dubbed) collected Rs 30 lakh in its ninth week taking its nine week total to Rs 109.6 crore.

  • Box Office: ‘All Is Well’ collects Rs 8.45 crore

    Box Office: ‘All Is Well’ collects Rs 8.45 crore

    MUMBAI: All Is Well was much promoted through its popular song, ‘Baaton ko teri.’ While the song became very popular, the film could not reap the benefits. Director Umesh Shukla’s past record of OMG: Oh My God seemed sort of neutralised as the film’s lead star, Abhishek Bachchan who has not been able to create an audience for himself yet.

     

    To add to the poor start was the film’s content, which was mediocre in all aspects. The film, which had a weak start, managed to rake in Rs 8.45 crore in its opening weekend.

     

    Ketan Mehta’s Manjhi: The Mountain Man, a biopic about a Bihar resident who decides to make life easier for his fellow villagers by carving out a road from a mountain after losing his wife due to delay in getting medical attention, has caught the fancy of the media and some discerning film lovers. The film has a story to tell about a selfless man and his determination. The film had a small volume opening but improved bit by bit to end its opening weekend with a reasonable Rs 5.85 crore.

     

    Brothers, despite limited appeal, managed to sustain through its first week showing no major drop in collection. However, the film still remains within the limits set by Akshay Kumar starrers, not breaking any box office barriers. After a fairly decent opening weekend of Rs 49.7 crore, the film has ended its first week with a total of Rs 69.55 crore.

     

    Gour Hari Dastaan, a biopic about a freedom fighter taking on the system to get recognition for his contribution to the movement, makes it to the on the also ran list. Finding no audience, the film has about Rs 25 lakh to show for its first week run.

     

    Drishyam remained steady in its third week holding on to appreciation found among a section of filmgoers. The film collected Rs 7.75 crore in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 66.50 crore.

     

    Bajrangi Bhaijaan continues to squeeze the box office, mainly on the strength of its repeat audience. The film has added Rs 3.6 crore in its fifth week to take its five week total to Rs 316.1 crore.

     

    Bahubali: The Beginning (Hindi – Dubbed) has collected Rs 3.05 crore in its sixth week, which takes its six week tally to Rs 107.2 crore.
