    Box Office: ‘Dilwale’ pips ‘Bajirao Mastani’ to collect Rs 63.6 crore in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: The much hyped Shah Rukh Khan – Kajol starrer Dilwale suffered heavily due to protests leading to cancellation of screenings at various cinemas in many cities following ‘intolerance’ comments from Khan and resultant anger among people.

     

    Nonetheless, Dilwale has managed to pip the other multi-starrer release Bajirao Mastani starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra to collect Rs 63.6 crore at the box office in its opening weekend.

     

    Dilwale’s collections were satisfactory on its opening day though they could have been much better. On day two, there was no improvement. The agitation and appeals to people to keep away from the film through social media, Whatsapp, SMSs etc could be a reason why some cautious people may have thought it prudent to keep away from cinema halls screening the film. The movie’s collections are showing a drop today (Monday).

     

    On the other hand, Bajirao Mastani met with mixed response to extremes; while some even called it a masterpiece, others found it outright bad. The movie collected Rs 43.2 crore in its first three days. While the casting of the film affected its opening day footfalls, the reactions after the release of the film only added to these feeling. The film had a weak opening on day one and showed a marginal improvement on Saturday and a marked rise on Sunday but has dropped today (Monday). The film was not able to cash in on agitations against the other release of the week, Dilwale which faced cancelled shows at many places.

     

    The Silent Heroes, a film about training of deaf and dumb students to venture into mountaineering, failed to register.

     

    Hate Story 3 continued its stronghold on the box office. The film has collected Rs 9.45 crore in its second week taking its two week total to Rs 44.85 crore.

     

    Angry Indian Goddesses collects Rs 75 lakh in the second week to take its two week total to Rs 2.25 crore.

  • Box Office: ‘Hate Story 3’ takes in Rs 22.6 crore in opening weekend

    Box Office: ‘Hate Story 3’ takes in Rs 22.6 crore in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: Hate Story 3 overcomes its lesser content drawback at the box office over its earlier versions on the strength of its brand equity and expectant audience of single screens, which went to see skin on display. That helped the film get in excellent opening response. The collections dropped as the opening day progressed but not enough to stop the film from collecting over Rs 8 crore for the opening day. Saturday showed a marginal drop but was still good; the film’s solo status at the cinemas helped. After a good Sunday, the film has collected Rs 22.6 crore in its first weekend and should easily recover its investment by day four.

     

    Despite having a strong social media buzz Angry Indian Goddesses goes without making a mark.

     

    Tamasha, which had a decent weekend thanks to the Ranbir Kapoor – Deepika Padukone pairing and the Nadiadwala banner to back them, opened well but fell to bad reports thanks to its mediocrity and lack of content after the weekend. It started losing footfalls massively. The film, which accounted for an opening weekend of Rs 38.2 crore could add only about Rs 15 crore for the next four days to end its first week with Rs 53.5 crore. The film is slated to be a loser as it won’t justify its steep price tag of almost Rs 100 crore. 

     

    Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo goes down as the first major failure of the year and, a rare Rajshri film that remains unappreciated. The film was a drain on the audience and remains so at the box office. With a meagre box office taking of Rs 4.1 crore for its third week, it remains way short of its recovery mark. This takes its three week total to Rs 199.3 crore.

     

    With no new release next week, theatre chains are going to have a tough time. They also don’t wish that the two multi-starrers Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale vie with each other on 19 December. Exhibitors are impressed enough to give Bajirao Mastani an equal playtime as Dilwale after watching its promos. The spoils will be equally shared by both on day one; after that, may the better film sustain! Dilwale was initially slated for 25 December but was brought forward to face Bajirao Mastani. What is strange is that next two weeks are open with no new release in the offing.

  • Tamasha ends week one with Rs 38.2 crore

    Tamasha ends week one with Rs 38.2 crore

    MUMBAI: Tamasha, thanks to its star cast, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika, coupled with the names of SajidNadiadwala banner and Imtiaz Ali, has managed to draw a face-saving opening weekend despite all bad reviews. The film collected Rs. 38.2 crore for three days. However, the impact of bad reviews have started showing from today as the collections are indicating a major declining trend.

     

    *PremRatanDhanPayo takes a massive dive in its second week. Lack of appreciation and some degree of repeat value that most Salman Khan films enjoy is missing in this film. The second week collections are less than 15% of its first week at Rs. 23.2 crore. This takes the film’s two week total to 195.2 crore.

     

    *X Past Is Present is poor. The film collects Rs. 40 lakh in its first week.

     

    *PyaarKaPunchnama adds Rs. 20 lakh in its sixth week taking its two week tally to Rs. 61.75 crore.

     

    **Tough days for cinema chains as next two weeks have little to offer. While, they may have some hope from Hate Story 3, releasing next Friday, the week thereafter has no new releases.

     

    All eyes and expectations rest on the week of December 18 when two major films, BajiraoMastani and Dilwale, will be pitted against each other.
