  • Box Office: ‘Main Aur Charles’ collects Rs 3.65 crore; ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ holds fort

    Box Office: ‘Main Aur Charles’ collects Rs 3.65 crore; ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ holds fort

    MUMBAI: The pre-Diwali period, considered to be dullest ever at the box office, used to be the exhibitor’s nightmare. The running time was fed with dubbed films or re-run films. The idea was to just minimise the loss.

     

    Come corporate era, no period is considered dull. This Friday, 30 October saw numerous releases; unheard of films with no promotion worth its name. Of course, all to disastrous results.

     

    Among all releases of the week, Main Aur Charles was the most publicised, boasted of known faces in the cast and also went on to bag favourable reviews. Yet, it was the best example of a mis-timed release. A film, which would have ended its opening day with over Rs 3 crore to improve on days to follow, managed barely a crore. Nothing better came its way on Saturday and Sunday that followed. The film ended its opening weekend with approximately Rs 3.65 crore.

     

    On the other hand, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 is enjoying an excellent run at the box office, on its own merit as well as some help from poor new releases. The film is a favourite with the youth. It has had an impressive second week with figures of Rs 14.1 crore taking its two week total to Rs 51.9 crore.

     

    Guddu Ki Gun, a curious kind of film, which tries to create comedy out of a silly idea about a young man’s vitals turning to gold, falls flat. The only use the film will have is for future producers troubled by the Film Certification Board, to cite it as a precedent. The film managed about Rs 1.7 crore for the opening weekend. 

     

    Despite critical reviews and a strong word of mouth from the industry, Dibakar Bennerjee’s home production, Titli, is a disaster.

     

    Other nondescript adventures like Love Exchange, Once Upon A Time In Bihar, Mere Sai Ram and The Last Horror fail to find audience.

     

    Shaandaar collections go on a free fall in its first week after an indifferent opening weekend. The film suffers many cancelled shows due to lack of audience as the week progresses. A sheer waste of good star cast and ample funding thanks to a juvenile script and an unimaginative making. The film, which did its best in its four day opening weekend, managed to add a meagre Rs 6.1 crore for the four days after the weekend to show a poor Rs 36.9 crore for its first week. The film may add a crore or so at best for the rest of its run. 

     

    Jazbaa collects Rs 20 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 23.9 crore. 

     

    Singh Is Bliing adds Rs 10 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 74.05 crore. 

     

    Talvar collects about a crore in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 30.55 crore.

  • Box Office: ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ takes Rs 21 crore in opening weekend

    Box Office: ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ takes Rs 21 crore in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: ‘It is the season for small budget comedies be it about romance or sex. Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 appeals hugely to youth and proves that a film has to be youth oriented for they are the ones who guarantee a decent opening at the box office and also spread good or bad word of mouth.

     

    Despite very limited promotions, the film took an impressive opening and the figures reflect the fact. The film only showed a marked rise in collections on Saturday and Sunday. And, despite being Navratri period, which is not the best of times for a new release, especially one counting mainly on its youth appeal. The film collected a heartening Rs 20.8 crore in its opening weekend.

     

    Wedding Pullav is poor and failed to get footfalls through its opening weekend.

     

    On the other hand, Jazbaa, a comeback film for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after a five year break and an expected hat-trick for Irrfan Khan, who has given two much appreciated films in Piku andTalvar, falls prey to its bad scripting and inapt handling. The film could not sustain its collection after its opening weekend and the figures dropped through the week. The film could manage to put together just Rs 20.6 crore for its first week.

     

    Singh Is Bliing loses the plot in its second week with the collections dropping by a major chunk as the film collects Rs 10.5 crore to take its two week total to Rs 72.65.

     

    Talvar maintains a strong trend in its second week cashing in on the appreciation received. The film collects Rs 10.5 crore to take its two week tally to Rs 26 crore.

     

    Kapil Sharma’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon has added Rs 75 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 43.95 crore making a star out of the TV comedian in the process.

  • Box Office: ‘Jazbaa’ collects Rs 14.4 crore in opening weekend

    Box Office: ‘Jazbaa’ collects Rs 14.4 crore in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: Jazbaa, based on the Korean film, Seven Days, is a story that could have been told in a undeviating manner. However, between adhering to the original and Indianising it is ‘lost in translation.’ The film, which is being touted as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s comeback film, opened to a meek response at the box office on Friday. However, it improved a great deal on Saturday in comparison to its opening day figures but remained static on Sunday. Jazbaa ended its opening weekend with Rs 14.4 crore, though its real standing will be determined only over next four days after the weekend.

     

    While the film had the advantage of being the one and only release for the week, it had little competition from last week’s two releases,Singh Is Bliing and Talvar. While the first one started losing steam from its first Monday onwards, Talvar has a moderate following and continues to do well within its parameters it posed no threat to Jazbaa after its seven day run.

     

    Talvar, another version of the Noida murder of a 14 year old girl, Arushi Talwar, allegedly by her own parents, generated some amount of curiosity and attracted a decent amount of footfalls. Considering its limited range, the film did fairly well to close its first week with a reasonable Rs 15.5 crore. The powerful media group, one of the makers of this film, is making sure it remains in the news or, to put it fairly, in controversy, so that the film adds a crore or two everyday even in its week two! The film maintained well during its second weekend.

     

    Singh Is Bliing started off well but lost momentum from day two and even further from the first Monday after its release. This action comedy saw the female lead star, Amy Jackson, performing better action than the hero and action star Akshay Kumar, whose action scenes were lame and oft seen before. Akshay’s films have a limit till how much they can score at the box office and this one will stop short of even that limit. The film added Rs 19.75 crore in its four days after a decent weekend to show a figure of Rs 62.15 crore for its first week.

     

    Kapil Sharma’s debut movie vehicle Kis Kisko Payar Karoon maintained well in its second week by collecting Rs 5.1 crore to take its two week total to Rs 43.2 crore.

     

    On the other hand, Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls crashes to a meagre Rs 10 lakh collections in its second week to show a tally of Rs 5.2 crore. A major loser.
