  • ‘Revolver Rani’ fails to grab eyeballs

    ‘Revolver Rani’ fails to grab eyeballs

    MUMBAI: The trade expected Revolver Rani to draw good houses because of Kangna Ranaut’s recent hit, Queen, but the film opened to a very weak response. The improvement over the weekend was negligible. The poor content belies any chance of sustaining today onwards. The film has managed to collect about Rs 6 crore for the first three days.

     

    Samrat & Co. has emerged a total disaster failing to manage even a crore in the first weekend. The film has collected Rs 90 lakh for the opening weekend.

     

    Kaanchi, with an old-fashioned approach with its title till its promotion and release strategy has failed miserably. The film managed to collect Rs 2.45 crore for the first weekend.

     

    2 States is already a hit and on its way to getting bigger. The film has collected Rs 60.2 crore for the first week and keeping a solid hold on the box office through its second weekend.

     

    Bhootnath Returns has done fairly well in its second week to collect Rs 6.75 crore to take its two week total to Rs 34.85 crore.

     

    Main Tera Hero is fair in its third week adding Rs 3.25 crore to take its three week total to Rs 52 crore.

     

    Queen has managed another Rs 50 lakh in its seventh week to take its seven week tally to Rs 58 crore.

  • ‘2 States’ sizzles at box office

    ‘2 States’ sizzles at box office

    MUMBAI: 2 States, a youth oriented love story with all the traditional Indian ingredients packaged to contemporary tastes, took off with flying colours, the opening day being to near full houses at the multiplexes.

     

    The film maintained well on Saturday and peaked on Sunday as expected. The film collected Rs 37.6 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Bhootnath Returns, which opened to weak collections on Friday, improved on Saturday and Sunday only to lose the momentum as the week progressed. After a weekend of Rs 18.2 crore, the film could add only Rs 10.1 crore over other four days to show Rs 28.1 crore at the end of its first week.

     

    Main Tera Hero sustained well in its second week to collect Rs 12.55 crore taking its two week total to Rs 48.75 crore.

     

    Ragini MMS 2 has added a symbolic Rs 20 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 47.05 crore.

     

    Queen reaches the end of its glorious run by adding another Rs 1.05 crore for its sixth week and taking its six week total to Rs 57.5 crore.

     

    The success of Queen has made the forthcoming Kangna Ranaut starrer Revolver Rani, a movie to look forward to in the film trade and also with the audience. On this count, the exhibitors expect more from this film than the other two releases slated for 25 April, Samrat & Co. and Kaanchi.

    MUMBAI: Bhootnath Returns, the sequel to the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Bhootnath (2008), opened to a weak response on Friday but consolidated a bit on Saturday and very well on Sunday to collect Rs 18.2 crore for its opening weekend. The film should sustain today as well because of Ambedkar Jayanti holiday and, in parts for Baisakhi as well.

     

    Main Tera Hero starring Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz is fair in its first week. The film has managed to collect Rs 36.2 crore.

     

    Youngistan has added Rs 72 lakh in its second week to take its two tally to Rs 5.97 crore. The figure just goes onto show that it is a very poor performer.

     

    Jal has collected about Rs50 lakh in its first week.

     

    Ragini MMS2 has added Rs 1.1 crore in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 46.85 crore.

     

    Queen continues its excellent run at the box office. The film has collected Rs 2.35 crore in its fifth week taking its five week total to Rs 56.45 crore.

  • The Dhawan’s strong run at the box office

    The Dhawan’s strong run at the box office

    MUMBAI: Father-son combination of director David and actor Varun Dhavan has given a fair entertainer in Main Tera Hero, a movie worth watching after a gap since Queen. Also, the opposition in the form of Jal lacked commercial approach. While Main Tera Hero did not get a great opening but the word of mouth has gone in its favour. The film collected Rs 21.5 crore over the weekend, getting better each day. The collections could have been better still, were it not for the T20 World Cup matches on Friday and Sunday involving India.

     

     Jal started off badly with ‘No audience No show tags’ at the cinemas. Youngistaan has struggled to collect Rs 5.3 crore in its first week.

     

    While, O Teri has been poor all the way with Rs 3.2 crore to show for its first week, Dishkiyaon has collected Rs 5.25 crore in its first week.

     

    Sunny Leone starrer Ragini MMS2 has held on well in its second week to collect Rs 8.75 crore to take its two week collections to Rs 45.85 crore.

     

    Queen continues its strong hold on the box office by adding Rs 5.6 crore in its fourth week thus taking its four week tally to Rs 54.1 crore.

    Poster of Varun Dhawan’s next released

    MUMBAI: The official poster of Varun Dhawan’s next Main Tera Hero was released today. The film is directed by his father- David Dhawan- and produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor and will see Ileana D’Cruz and Nargis Fakhri alongside the Student of the Year actor.

     

    Since the father-son duo are teaming up for the first time for this film, Main Tera Hero is being touted as one of the biggest entertainers of the year. In fact, the actor is gearing up to promote the film well.

     

    Along the lines of the film’s first poster that looks quite quirky, the actor was recently spotted at Mumbai’s Crawford market dressed as a vegetable vendor.

     

    He tweeted: “No no it’s just a thought guys I became a patiwala for a day and worked in Crawford market it really moved me. forget movies and heroes the real heroes are these people who toil everyday to earn their bread and butter its really really difficult.”

     

    We wonder if it a part of promoting the movie that is set to hit the screens on 4 April, 2014.
