    ‘Bang Bang’ continues to rule at the BO

    MUMBAI: Though fairly well promoted, Sonali Cable fails to draw enough footfalls and opens to very poor response. Coming as it does during the dullest period of the year, pre-Diwali, and lacking face value showed on the public response. The film has remained limited to less than the four million mark for the opening weekend which is disastrous.

    Mumbai 125KM, a horror film with poor promotion facing dull release period, is a loser. The film has just about managed to reach the one crore mark for its first three days.

    Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami has managed to scrap together Rs 1.55 crore in its first week. Tamanchey manages to cross a crore mark with Rs 1.25 crore to show for its first week. The other two releases of the week, Jigariya and Spark, were lost without a trace.

    Bang Bang has collected Rs 21.3 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 136.6 crore.

    Haider has managed to collect Rs 10.3 crore in its second week mainly on support at multiplexes to take its two week total to Rs 45.45 crore.

    ‘Bang Bang’ continues to thrill the BO

    MUMBAI: The week saw four small-time films release in Spark, EkkeesTopon KI Salaami, Jigariya and Tamanchey. None had the face value, or could draw crowd. Also, each film catered a regional subject with scant identification for universal audience.

     

    Of the lot, EkkeesTopon KI Salaami had the best prospects and was a sincere attempt; however, it lost out balancing itself between a satire and a melodrama.
    Bang Bang opened to good houses as expected. However, the reports about its mediocre content caught up with it and the collections started dropping in a free fall. The fall which started a day after release got more pronounced as the new week began. The film, which had collected Rs 80 crore for its first five days (having opened on Thursday) managed to end its eight day week with Rs 115.3 crore.

     

    Haider has met with an indifferent response with only a few caring to talk about it. A pretentious film with a script penned on whim and fancy, it fails to identify with any sort of audience. It is as unreal as a cinema can get. The film continued to collect on the lower side of average throughout the week despite holidays to end its eight day week with Rs 35.15 crore.

     

    Daawat-e-Ishq has added just Rs 10 lakh in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 25.66 crore.

     

    Khoobsurat has added Rs 70 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 24.65 crore.
