    BO: A disastrous week

    MUMBAI: It has been a week of multiple disasters at the box office. Purani Jeans, a youth oriented film shot at scenic locations, has not been able to make a mark at the box office. The film barely manages to cross the one crore mark in its first weekend by collecting Rs 1.05 crore.

     

    Angry Young Man and Kahin Hai Mera Pyar have also failed to muster enough footprints to open screenings at many places. Kya Dilli Kya Lahore has met with poor response with negligible figures of Rs 25 lakh to show for its first weekend.

     

    Kangana Ranaut starrer Revolver Rani added little to its opening weekend collections of Rs 6 crore to finish its first week with figures of Rs 8.8 crore. Samrat & Co. is very poor in its first week with collections of Rs 1.4 crore. Kaanchi fares below the mark, its title failing to suggest its theme adding to generally poor promotion of the film. The film has collected Rs 3.6 crore.

     

    Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer 2 States has sustained very well in its second week as well as it collected Rs 24.1 crore taking its two week tally to Rs 84.3 crore. Bootnath Returns has collected 1.2 crore in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 36.05 crore.

     

    Queen has added another Rs 20 lakh for its eighth week to take its eight week total to Rs 58.2 crore.

    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.

    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

    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.

    MUMBAI: Dhishkiyaon, starring Harman Baweja and Sunny Deol, has maintained to keep a little over the crore mark through the weekend to collect Rs 3.3 crore for first three days.

     

    O Teri remains below the crore mark between Rs 70 lakh and Rs 80 lakh to complete a weekend of Rs 2.2 crore.

     

    Youngistan, which has been accorded a limited screen release, has managed a weekend of Rs 3.5 crore.

     

    Ragini MMS2 has had an excellent run through its first week with the opening weekend contributing well. The film has collected Rs 37.1 crore.

     

    While Gang Of Ghosts has crossed the one crore mark to collect Rs 1.5 crore in its first week, Lakshmi and Ankhon Dekhi have been received poorly with Rs 20 lakh and Rs 70 lakh respectively.

     

    Queen continues to regale the audience and creating a fan base for Kangana Ranaut. The performance of the film has been strong in third week too as the film collects Rs 10.8 crore to take its three week total to Rs 48.5 crore.

     

    Shaadi Ke Side Effects has collected Rs 40 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 36.95 crore.

    MUMBAI: Ragini MMS 2 has an eventful opening weekend serving the purpose of casting Sunny Leone in the lead, as she was expected to be the star draw. The film has collected Rs 21.4 crore for the opening weekend; but is not expected to sustain during the week.

     

    Ankhon Dekhi, Lakshmi and Gang Of Ghosts fail to find the audience this weekend.

     

    Bewakoofiyan starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sonam Kapoor has failed to make a mark at the box office. After an indifferent four day opening weekend, the first week run accounts for Rs 12.55 crore.

     

    Queen continues to defy all norms to exceed its first week collections in week two backed by much appreciation. The film collects Rs 19.2 crore taking its two week tally to Rs 37.7 crore. The film continues to do well in its third week as well; lack of a worthy opposition helping its cause as well.

     

    Gulaab Gang drops below Rs 1 crore in its second week, adds just Rs 90 lakh taking its two week total to Rs 11.1crore.

     

    Total Siyapaa takes its two week tally to Rs 6.35 crore after adding Rs 50 lakh for its second week.

     

    Shaadi Ke Side Effects manages a fair sum of Rs 1.5 crore in its third week, in the absence of competition; taking its three week total to Rs 36.55 crore.

    ‘Queen’ continues its dream run in wk 2 at BO

    MUMBAI: YRF’s Bewakoofiyaan has not been appreciated as the film lacks chemistry between the lead pair and music doesn’t add much flavour either. The film opened with little over Rs 2 crore and floated between that and Rs 2.5 crore over its four day weekend. The film put together Rs 9.37 crore over four days.

     

    Queen is holding on strongly, a rare film in ages, which has collected more on its seventh day than its opening Friday. The film collected Rs 18.5 crore for its first week. As the film continues to do well in its second week, it can be termed a minor hit.

     

    Gulaab Gang, an ordinary run of the mill honesty vs corrupt politician (both protagonists being woman is what the film expected to cash in on) has been rejected outright. The film could add little to its opening weekend collections to end the first week with Rs 10.2 crore.

     

    Total Siyapaa is fairing very poorly. The film collected Rs 5.85 crore in its first week and will prove to be a loser.

     

    Shaadi Ke Side Effects managed to stay above par in its second week adding Rs 4.85 crore taking its two week total to Rs 35.05 crore.

     

    Gunday has collected Rs 35 lakh in its fifth week taking its five week tally to Rs 78.45 crore.

    Vir and Kangana – an unusual pair create curiosity

    MUMBAI: The upcoming movie Revolver Rani, slated to release on 25 April stars Kangana Ranaut and Vir Das in the lead leaving many wondering about this unusual pairing. While Kangana Ranaut will be seen as a quirky, cool politically active local goon who talks and walks with guns easier than words, while Vir plays a toy boy who tries to woo Rani (Kangana) for his ulterior motives. 

     

    But what has got people talking is the unusual and fresh pairing of Vir Das and Kangana in the movie? Kangana is already creating a buzz this year with her performance in Queen and before we know it, she is back again to be seen in a yet another unconventional role in Revolver Rani

     

    While Vir has been doing small roles or multi-starrers in the past, he will be seen as the main lead and romancing a lead actress for the first time on screen. Both known to have a niche fan following will really be a treat together for the audiences.

     

    So let’s wait to watch how the chemistry between the stand-up artist and the fashionista sizzles on the big screen.

    Word of mouth improves Queen’s weekend collection

    MUMBAI: Much was expected from the Madhuri- Juhi starrer Gulaab Gang but the film turned out to be just another good vs evil story where women do the stunts otherwise done by guys. The film was below average during its opening weekend and will only go down further as the week progresses. The film managed to collect Rs 7.1 crore during its first weekend as the word spread about poor content.

     

    Total Siyapaa, starring Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam, is rejected outright and may face discontinuation from many cinemas mid-week. The film collected just about Rs 3.5 crore in its opening weekend.

     

    Queen has been appreciated as a lighthearted fun film about a ‘ditched at the mandap’ girl who decides to explore the places alone which, she would have otherwise been to with her husband. The film has grown each day during the weekend and is expected to do steady business as the week progresses. Though the opening day collections of the film were low – with positive word of mouth – the collections doubled on Saturday and improved by a huge margin on Sunday. The film’s weekend collection stood at Rs 10.15 crore.

     

    Shaadi Ke Side Effects bringing together the pair of Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan struggles through its first week to collect Rs 30.2 crore. The film has drawn much flak from the viewers.

     

    Gunday has added about Rs 2 crore in its third week to take its four week total to Rs 78.4 crore.

     

    Hasee Toh Phasee has collected Rs 40 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 35.5 crore.
