    Boss collects only Rs 38.2 crore

    MUMBAI: The mid week release to cash in on a festival has backfired on Boss (second film to suffer so in recent times after Besharam). Released on Eid day (Wednesday), it opened to lukewarm response earlier to consolidate by evening shows at single screens. However, the first day figures barely managed to touch Rs 12 crore. The Basi Eid was expected to help maintain steady collections but that did not happen as the collections dropped by nearly Rs 5 crore. The film went on to collect Rs 25 crore for the first three days and close its five day weekend at Rs 38.2 crore.

     

    Shahid found the appreciation but has not yet backed it up with the collections. This Mumbai-centric film faced opposition from the 15th Mumbai Film Festival as film buffs who would love such a film were drawn to the film fest. The film collected about Rs 2 crore in its first weekend.

    Besharam fails to cash in on holiday release, Grand Masti marches on

    The unanimous bad reports and a crude attempt at creating comedy add to the woes of Besharam as the decision to release it on a Wednesday to cash in on a national holiday also backfired; Ranbir Kapoor still lacks the command over the box office, enough to carry off two working days after a national holiday till the weekend. Those involved hoped for an opening day bonanza of Rs 30 crore while the trade expected it to be around Rs 24/25 crore on the pre-release buzz.

    However, as the reports after the first show filtered out, the film faced a drop on the very first day in the evening and night shows with the day fetching just about Rs 18.5 crore. Thereafter, the slide was drastic as day two dropped to Rs 6 crore and day three to Rs 5.5 crore. Thus, while the film recorded Rs 30.5 crore for the first three days, the collections for its first five days are Rs 42.5 crore.
