    Box Office: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo revenue drops after extended weekend

    Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, after taking a record breaking opening on Thursday, since it was released a day earlier to take advantage of Diwali weekend, started dropping from the very next day. The general lack of appreciation for the film led to huge come down in footfalls. So much so that after the four days of its extended weekend, the film could barely add only as much as its first day figures for rest of the four days Monday on wards which is little over Rs 40 crore. The film managed Rs 172 crore for the eight day week. The film is not likely to get the advantage of its open run in the second week and could end up as a loss maker at the box office.

    *X Past is Present, the collaborative effort of 11 film makers is a nonstarter.

     

    *Charlie Ke Chakkar Mein added 1.8 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to about Rs 82 lakh.

     

    *Main Aur Charles collected 1.7 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 6.67 crore.

     

    *Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 has added 40 lakh in its fifth week taking its five week tally to RS 61.55 crore.

     

    Editor’s note: Considering that it cost an estimated Rs 115 crore to make and market Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, it must rake in around Rs 230 crore at the Box Office before it can even break even. It must make a profit for all the stakeholders, which include satellite rights revenue for Salman Khan who reportedly has not charged anything to make the film,and the music rights revenue that will reportedly go to film’s makers.. Just crossing the Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore mark at the Box Office does not qualify a film as a profit maker.

  • Prem Ratan Dhan Payo ends extended weekend with Rs 129.77 crore

    Prem Ratan Dhan Payo ends extended weekend with Rs 129.77 crore

    *Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, as expected, made the most of an early start with its release a day earlier on Thursday, to cash in on Diwali festival weekend, The Suraj Barjatya-Salman Khan combine as well as its solo release status worked in its favour and the drought of major release for some time brought the film the biggest first day figure ever at the box office as the film collected a record Rs 41 crore on Thursday. The not so good word of mouth affected the collection and footfalls on day two, Friday as the film dropped by over 25 percent and collected Rs 30 crore. On Saturday, the film collected a little less over its Fridayfigures and could not grow on  Sunday finally ending its four day weekend with Rs 129.77 crore.

     

    *Charlie Ke Chakkar Mein, a poor thriller with Naseeruddin Shah playing an investigator trying to track down a cache of cocaine and related murders, had the makings for a tedious watch. The film bombed badly falling short of even Rs one crore mark with just Rs 80 lakh trickling in.

     

    *Ranbanka, with Ravi Kishen in the lead, was expected to help the makers make a decent box office in UP and Bihar, belied expectations. The film managed to collect just Rs 10 lakh in its first week nationally.

     

    *Yaara Silly Silly and Four Pillars Of Basement collected just Rs 15 lakh and Rs 25 lakh, respectively, in their first week.

     

    *Titli collected 40 lakh in its second week taking its two week total to 2 crore.

     

    **Main Aur Charles had a poor second week managing to collect just Rs 90 lakh to take its two week total to Rs 6.5 crore.

     

    *Shaandaar added Rs 25 lakh in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 35.25 crore.

     

    *Pyaar Ka Punchnama held strong in its fourth week by collecting Rs 2.45 crore and takes its four week to Rs 61.15 crore.
