    BENGALURU: Note (1) Considering the nature of business carried on by the company whereby revenues do not necessarily accrue evenly over the year, the results of the quarter may not be representative of the result for the year. As such, the result of the current quarter is not comparable with the result of corresponding quarter.

     

    (2) A major film project by the company starring Akshay Kumar ‘Its Entertainment’ is slated for release in May 2014.

     

    Despite two significant releases in Q2-2014 – Ramaiya Vastavaiya and Phata Poster and Nikla Hero, the Taurani brothers led Tips Industries Limited (Tips) reported a net loss of Rs (-22.32) crore for the quarter, with its film

    Madras Caf fails to rake in the moolah, collects Rs 18 crore

    Madras Cafe, starring John Abraham directed by Shoojit Sircar of Vicky Donor fame, opened low on Friday but managed to do better on Saturday and Sunday, especially at select multiplexes in Metro cities. However, public response failed to match that of the critics thus the slide is inevitable on days to follow. The film has collected Rs 18 crore for the opening weekend.

     

    Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara, a story about underworld rivalry borne out of love for same girl, fails on all counts from casting to scripting. The film, which opened on 15 August holiday and took Rs 34.6 crore for the four day weekend, could add only little over Rs 14 crore for the other four days to close its first week with Rs 48.8 crore, the best figures coming from Bombay Circuit. The film is a sequel to Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010) but has failed to cash in on the success of the first installment.

     

    Chennai Express starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone sustains well with the advantage of a weak opposition in its second week. The film collects Rs 36.7 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 178.7 crore.

     

    B.A. Pass collects Rs 45 lakh in its third week and takes its three week total to Rs 7.05 crore.

     

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya adds Rs 10 lakh for the fifth week to take its five week total to Rs 26.07 crore.

     

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has added Rs 1.1 crore in its sixth week taking its six week tally to Rs 106.35 crore.

    OUATIMD fails to cash in on Independence Day release

    MUMBAI: Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara starring Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha could reap only limited benefit of its release on 15th August holiday as the screens available to it were limited. Thereafter, as the reports were unfavourable, the film could not grow over the weekend. The film ended its four-day weekend with Rs 34.6 crore.

    Chennai Express starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone has become the biggest weekend grosser as well as setting a fantastic record for the biggest first week collections. With paid previews included the film has set a new benchmark of Rs 142 crore for week one. With the week’s new release not enjoying favourable reports, the film will stand to gain in its second week run.

    B A Pass has been able to sustain through its second week. The film collected Rs 1.25 crore in second week to take its two week total to Rs 6.6 crore.

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya has added a symbolic Rs 12 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 25.97 crore.

    D-Day has finally remained much below its merits, managed a meagre Rs 10 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 19.6 crore.

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag the biopic on the great Indian athlete Milkha Singh also called “the flying sikh” starring Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor has collected Rs 2.5 crore in its fifth week to take its five week tally to Rs 105.25 crore.

  • Bhaag Milkha Bhaag holds its own with no major competition

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag holds its own with no major competition

    MUMBAI: There were seven Hindi films slated for release last Friday out of which four, Bajatey Raho, Issaq, Nasha and Luv U Soniyo made it to the theatres but have received poor responses.

     

    Bajatey Raho, a film with better known faces, was expected to do well. But, the comedy film failed to provide entertainment. The film opened to a weak response and ended its first weekend with figures of Rs 4.25 crore.

     

    Issaq, a Shakespearean love tragedy from UP, did not work either. Except presenting a talented actor to the industry in Amyra Dastur, the film proved utterly forgettable. The film collected Rs 3.1 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Nasha starring Poonam Pandey, despite nudity and titillation, remained behind other releases in weekend figures. The film collected Rs 2.5 crore over its first weekend.

     

    Luv U Soniyo had poor patronage, resulting in ‘No audience No show’, at most places.

     

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya has not worked for the debutant Girish Kumar. The film was too clichéd very similar to medley of old films which had worked commercially. The film collected Rs 20.3 crore at the end of its first week.

     

    D-Day, despite all the praises and positive word of mouth reports, has not been able to convert all that into cash. The film opened to indifferent response and continued to remain so all its first week to close the week with Rs 14.5 crore.

     

    Ship Of Theseus managed to collect about Rs 50 lakh along with much acclaim during its first week.

     

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is holding well and has had a lucrative second week even as other new releases could not find favour with the public. The film has collected Rs 25.65 crore for its week two taking its two week total to Rs 78.15 crore.

    D-Day and Ramaiya Vastavaiya open well, as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag sustains

    MUMBAI: D-Day starring Rishi Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Irrfan Khan has won much acclaim yet the opening day collections remained on the lower side with little improvement on Saturday and noteworthy improvement on Sunday. The opening weekend showed collections of Rs 10.2 crore.

    Ramaiya Vastavaiya which marks the debut of Tips‘ Ramesh Taurani‘s son Girish Taurani along with Shruti Haasan created much hype on its opening day but hasn‘t consolidated much after the opening weekend performance. The film went on to collect Rs 12.30 crore for its first weekend.

    Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has sustained well through its first week after taking a decent opening weekend. The bulk of the business coming from multiplexes from major cities, the film ended its first week with a total of Rs 52.5 crore. The film was recently granted tax exemption in the state of Maharashtra and is trying for further exemption in other states as well.

    Sixteen has done poorly. The film has managed to collect about Rs 1.2 crore in its first week.

    The Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha love story Lootera has managed to collect Rs 3.35 crore in its second week taking its two week total to Rs 25.75 crore.

    Policegiri starring Sanjay Dutt has collected Rs 3.1 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 16.30 crore.

    Raanjhanaa has added Rs 1.9 crore for its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 58.45 crore.
