  • Fan fans a disastrous box office week

    Fan fans a disastrous box office week

    MUMBAI: This has been a disastrous week at the box office with exhibitors taking a big hit. This comes soon after the setback as they were made to pay high MGs and advances for Fan which they could not recoup. The three small time films released this week, Laal Rang, Nil Battey Sannata and Santa Banta Pvt Ltd have been rejected outright with their collections limited to a few lakhs each day of their opening weekend. Sadly for the exhibitors, they have nothing to curtail the shows of these films, as is done usually, with other films such as Jungle Book has. Fan is in its third week and limited footfalls, would have no takers anymore, since its collections went only downhill from the fourth day onwards.

    Nil Battey Sannata had a title that went over one’s head, these titles fail to tell a prospective viewer what is in the offing. The film has merit and was also exempted from paying entertainment tax in Delhi and UP state. If other states also grant it exemption, as it deserves to, it will be too late to help the film. The film could not put together even Rs one crore for its opening weekend.

    The makers may, however, take solace from the fact that, having been shot entirely in UP, this low budget film’s investment would be assured from the subsidy scheme of the UP government.

    Laal Rang drew a few hundred more footfalls over others due to Randeep Hooda in the lead, yet remained in the  Rs one crore range over the weekend. Hooda does not yet enjoy the status to assure a multi crore opener.

    Santa Banta Pvt Ltd may well be the frontrunner for the status of the year’s worst, amateurish and juvenile film. To add to its problems, the film was withdrawn from many cinema halls due to the Sikh community protesting against defamatory and derogatory projection of the community.

    The Jungle Book continued to do roaring business. The film has added an impressive Rs 46.8 core in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 120.8 crore. The trend for the third week is steady.

    Fan, which had a reasonable opening on day one, it being a national holiday, started dropping from day two and three, failing to add the weekend audience. However, the drop from Monday onwards for rest of the four days was rather steep. The film could add about 30 per cent for the next four days to its three day opening weekend collections to end its first week with Rs 71.5 crore with the second weekend adding another Rs 7.75 crore.

    KI & Ka added Rs 1.45 crore. The film’s three week tally stands at Rs 50.65 crore.
    Kapoor & Sons collected Rs 20 lakh in its fifth week, taking its five week total to Rs 72.1 crore.

  • Fan has a reasonable opening, Ki & Ka still strong

    Fan has a reasonable opening, Ki & Ka still strong

    MUMBAI: Fan had a reasonable opening though the viewers’ reports were not going in its favour. The public holiday on the occasion of Ram Navami on Friday and enhanced admission rates by as much as 20 to 25 per cent at many cinemas helped the film to put together Rs 19.2 crore on the first day.

    The word of mouth being mixed, the collections showed a drop to the tune of nearly Rs 4 crore. On Sunday, the film did as little compared to Saturday to end its opening weekend with a total of Rs 52.35 crore. However, after bringing down the admission rates to normal from today, the film has been showing noticeable decline in footfalls.

    Love Games failed to attract the audience with skin show as its main attraction. With poor face value and a rundown story, it falls further after a low opening weekend managing to add less than Rs 1 crore over its next four days of the week to show just Rs 3.9 crore for its first week.

    Club Dancer fared miserably to make its first week also its last. 

    Jungle Book, with its combined versions, has done better than the lifetime box office of many takings of many midrange Hindi films. The film has been lapped up by all strata of audience and also drawing repeat audience. After an impressive weekend, Jungle Book remained rock steady through its first week to collect about Rs 74 crore. It is expected to continue its good run in the second week as well.

    Ki & Ka has maintained good collections in its second week. It collected Rs 11.8 crore to take its two week tally to Rs 49.25 crore.

    Kapoor & Sons has collected Rs 1.6 crore in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 71.9 crore.

  • Rocky Handsome comes a cropper; Kapoor & Sons does well in second week

    Rocky Handsome comes a cropper; Kapoor & Sons does well in second week

    The only release of the week, Rocky Handsome, came a cropper. A poor adaptation of the hit South Korean film, The Man From Nowhere,  RH is so poorly recreated in Hindi that it works for nobody; neither its wannabe re-launch planning actor, John Abraham, nor its director who uses the vehicle to launch his acting career. The film is a blot on its scriptwriters and the director. To sum it up, the whole exercise looked juvenile.

    The film got the benefit of a solo release as well as a public holiday on Friday, the 25th to garner a face-saving opening. But, it registered a drop on the Saturday that followed as word of mouth went negative and collections nosedived on Sunday. It ended its opening weekend with a total of Rs15.3 crore.

    Kapoor & Sons has established itself as family fare. After a good opening weekend, it continued to do well through rest of the week to end its first week with a healthy Rs46.8 crore.

    TeraaSurroor remained poor even in its second week. In the absence of any appreciation, the film managed to add just about Rs20 lakh to take its two week tally to Rs10.9 crore.

    Jai Gangaajal is at the end of its run at the end of its third week. It collected Rs 1.05 crore to show collections of Rs31.95 crore for its three week run.

    Kapoor & Sons has steady opening, Neerja continues to bring in money in 4th week

    MUMBAI: Kapoor & Sons, which opened to a weak response, maintained steady collections on Saturday despite the India Pakistan T20 match. Having found appreciation with a certain section of the audience, the film took a huge leap in collections on Sunday of little less than double its Friday figures.

    Having collected Rs 24.3 crore for its opening weekend, the film is expected to continue to do well at select outlets as there are no other films in contention till Thursday, March 24, Holi day evening, when Rocky Handsome is slated for release.

    Global Baba fared poorly, failing to even make it to the Rs 10 lakh mark in its first week

    Teraa Surroor has had it tough at the box office. With a below average opening weekend, the film managed to collect just Rs 10.7 crore in its first week.

    Jai Gangaajal managed to collect Rs 7.1 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 30.9 crore.
    Aligarh collected a symbolic Rs 15 lakh in its third week to take its collections to Rs 2.5 crore.

    Neerja continued its stronghold on the box office. The film has added Rs 5.1 crore in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 68.9 crore.
