  • Akshay Kumar’s Rustom manages to hold attention while Mohenjo Daro trails way behind

    Akshay Kumar’s Rustom manages to hold attention while Mohenjo Daro trails way behind

    MUMBAI: With two major releases wanting to make the most of the long Independence Day weekend extending toMonday, the media had a field day. However, this was not the case with the two releases. While one raked in the mulla and the audience admiration, the other hit the bottom even before it could take off.

    Rustom, with Akshay Kumar playing a naval officer and a murder accused, won half the hearts just by donning his navy uniform; the gaps in the story and the convenient play with the screenplay notwithstanding. With a limited screen engagement compared to big bill movies, the film managed to cross an impressive Rs 14 crore mark. The film held on well and consolidated on day two, Saturday, by over 10% peaking on Sunday by bettering its opening day collections by almost 40% its opening weekend just falling short of the Rs 50 crore mark at Rs 49.85 crore.

    The film held on strongly on Monday thanks to the Independence Day national holiday to match itsSunday figures with about Rs 17.8 crore to take its four-day total to Rs 67,65 crore.

    Mohenjo Daro, a routine script couched as a pre-historic saga from Mohenjo Daro civilization, pays heavily for total lack of creativity, be it story, script or narration. A routine B grade bahubali story takes the audience for granted who failed to turn up in required number resulting in poor opening day figures.

    The film even fell way short of the Rs 10 crore mark on its opening day to collect Rs 8.8 crore, gaining only little on Saturday with the Sunday growth also being insignificant as it struggled to put together Rs 29.8 crore. The film managed to add another Rs 9.25 crore for the Independence Day holiday on Mondayas the poor word of mouth spread. The fact that the film would be carrying an exorbitant price tag would qualify it as a huge disaster.

    Budhia Singh- Born To Run, despite much appreciation, does not manage to add much to its opening weekend, collecting Rs 1.9 crore for its first week.

    The Legend of Michael Mishra could not add much to its first weekend collections. The film closes its first week with a poor Rs 75 lakh in its first week.

    Fever fails to create thrill with its poor suspense drama as it collected a meagre Rs 80 lakh for its first week.

    Dishoom did well in its second week though falling short of the promise it showed during the second weekend as it ended its second week with Rs 12.8 crore to take its two-week tally to Rs 64.6 crore.

    Madaari braves all oppositions in its third week by collecting Rs 1.25 crore to take its three- week tally to Rs 16.7 crore.

    Kabali (Hindi dubbed from Tamil) collected Rs 1.1 crore for its third week to take its three week total to

  • Barring ‘Sultan’, dull weekend at box office

    Barring ‘Sultan’, dull weekend at box office

    MUMBAI: While the recent films since the release of Sultan have been bad for the trade, especially the exhibition trade which needs a flow of crowd pulling films to sustain, the next week promises to be full of hope. Two major films releasing simultaneously has been avoided by the trade as both would eat into each other’s business prospects. But, the exhibitors never had it so good as Mohenjo Daro and Rustom face each other this Friday.

    Budhia Singh-Born To Run, a National Award winner for the Best Children’s film, wins much critical acclaim, but no footfalls. The film could manage only Rs. 1.2 crore in its first weekend.

    Fever, an attempt to make a polished thriller, turns out anything but that. It is a badly scripted film concentrating more on steamy scenes rather than thrill and suspense. A good musical score as well as captivating cinematography are wasted in absence of substance. The film collected Rs. 55 lakh in its opening weekend.

    The Legend Of Michael Mishra meets with a disastrous fate at the box office. To think of Arsad Warsi essaying a teenage romance in itself is a put off and to expect the film to draw audience is rather ambitious! There is nothing in the script or direction or music to salvage the film to any extent. The collections have been poor as the film could collect only Rs. 60 lakh in its first weekend.

    Dishoom, an action thriller with a youth favourite. Varun Dhawan, providing the entertainment quotient, does well. The film had its flows and routine second half but managed to make the most of the absence of any decent entertainer for a while.

    The film collects 51.8 crore in its first week. With poor opposition in its second week, the film stands a fair chance of adding another Rs. 16 to 17 crore in its second week for a decent lifetime business.

    Love Ke Funday and Murder Madhuri make it to the total loss category.

    Madaari…Sshhh Desh So Raha Hai collects Rs. 2.75 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs. 15.45 crore.

    Kabaali (Hindi-dubbed from Tamil) drops drastically in its second week taking its two week total to Rs. 24.9 crore.
