  • Both ‘3 AM’ and ‘Desi Kattey’ fail at box office

    Both ‘3 AM’ and ‘Desi Kattey’ fail at box office

    MUMBAI: There were a number of inconsequential releases last Friday most failing to find any patronage. Of these, 3 AM drew some footfall at multiplexes while Desi Kattey managed to pull some viewers at single screens in the Hindi belt.

     

    Balwinder Singh Famous Ho Gaya, despite starring two popular singers, Shaan and Mika, was poor. All three remained in limited range of lakhs, much short of the crore mark.

     

    Daawat-e-Ishq opened weak but picked up over the weekend. However, the weekdays’ collections were not strong and the film ended its first week with a figure of Rs 20.46 crore. The film added another Rs 3.46 crore for its second weekend taking its 10 day total to Rs 23.92 crore.

     

    Khoobsurat which had a lukewarm opening did not improve over the week to end its first week with Rs 16.45 crore.

     

    While Finding Fanny collected Rs 3.55 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 27.05 crore, Creature 3-D managed to add just about a crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 17.8 crore.

     

    Mary Kom collected Rs 2.4 crore in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 55.75 crore.

    MUMBAI: Daawat-e-Ishq opened to a lukewarm opening response and the collections remained on the lower side on Friday, improving marginally on Saturday and as well as on Sunday only to slide again today onwards.

     

    A Muslim background love story with an anti-dowry message, its linear narration makes it a routine fare. The film managed to collect Rs 13.6 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Khoobsurat, having borrowed the basic plot from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s 1980 hit of the same name, about a freewheeling woman entering and challenging the norms of the house laid down by the woman of the house, a royal one at that, comes a cropper. An insipid, poorly scripted and executed film, it started with below average opening with a little improvement on Saturday and Sunday as weekends normally do add to the collections. The film collected Rs 10.5 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Finding Fanny, a zany road movie about a senior citizen being helped by his village mates find his childhood love, has made a little impact at the box office. Despite some favourable reviews by critics, the film has been able to put together just about Rs 23.5 crore in its first week.

     

    Creature 3-D, another Vikram Bhatt horror had to its credit a fully locally computer generated man-eating creature but the film lacked in substance, got monotonous as its stretched too long and failed to generate interest in the viewer. The film collected a poor Rs 16.8 crore in its first week.

     

    Mary Kom sustained ably in its second week in the absence of any formidable opposition and added Rs 11.15 crore in its second week taking its two week total to Rs 53.35.

     

    Raja Natwarlal added Rs 10 lakh in its third week taking its three week tally to Rs 23.85 crore. The movie will be a loser at the box office.

  • ‘Finding Fanny’ wins at the BO

    ‘Finding Fanny’ wins at the BO

    MUMBAI: Creature 3-D has not been appreciated. At 135 minutes, the film is found to be rather too long and taxing for a horror film with repetitive sequences. The makers have got carried away with their newfound creature.

     

    The film opened to poor response and failed to improve on Saturday and Sunday. While its main face, Bipasha Basu, is out of favour with the audience, the Pakistani actor, Imran Abbas Naqvi, failed to make an impression. Also, 3-D is no more a novelty. It ended its opening weekend with Rs 10.7 crore. Not very encouraging.

     

    Finding Fanny (English with dubbed Hindi version) did well at select multiplexes at major metros. In fact, it has done better than the other releases of the week, Creature 3-D. Deepika Padukone has proved to be the main attraction as well as the sustaining star in this film. The film has collected Rs 16.8 crore for its first weekend.

     

    Mary Kom has remained below par despite much hype and gone the way most sports biopics do: mostly ignored. The film managed to collect Rs 42.2 crore in its first week, the drop having started after the opening weekend.

     

    Raja Natwarlal proves to be a nonperformer at the box office with the audience rejecting the routine, run of the mill Emraan Hashmi fare dished out on regular basis. The film, which opened to poor response continued to be so through first week and, then, adding a mere Rs 2.75 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 23.75 crore.
