    ‘PK’ storms the Box Office

    MUMBAI: With one of the biggest and widespread releases across all the available screens in India backed by a huge hype in the media with box office wizard of ultimate universal entertainers, Raju Hirani, with his 3 Idiots star Aamir Khan, PK falls short of storming the box office on day one as was expected by the trade. The severe cold in North and many other parts of the country affected morning shows starting as early as 9 am and last show playing at 11.40 pm.

     

    Kids and youngsters flocked the cinemas to make the Saturday a bit better with the figures improving by about 12 per cent which was expected looking at the favourable critic reports and the film’s kids oriented first half. The trade pundits were generous to predict anything from Rs 135 to Rs 150 crore weekends but that was not to be. However, the film had a roaring Sunday business (Rs 36 crore) which helped it put together Rs 89.5 crore for the weekend. It has an open week ahead and Christmas holidays starting in a day to enjoy a lucrative run.

     

    Main Aur Mr Right has collected a poor Rs 30 lakh for its first week. Action Jackson despite its poor content has managed to add another Rs 12.1 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 58.35 crore.

     

    Badlapur Boys has collected Rs 90 lakh in its first week; very poor. Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain has collected Rs 22 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 1.47 crore. 

     

    Zid has collected Rs 15 lakh in third week to take its three week total to Rs 6.4 crore.

    ‘Action Jackson’ reports Rs 29.1 crore at BO

    MUMBAI: Action Jackson has proved to be one of the worst films, content wise and the opening response has been poor for a top star film. The film has been able to put together a poor Rs 29.1 crore for its opening weekend.

    Sulemani Keeda too failed to find audience. Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain collected a symbolic Rs 70 lakh in its first weekend at the box office.

    Ungli has been poor; managing just Rs 14.8 crore in its first week at the box office. Zid which collected Rs 5.9 crore for its first week, is poor.

    Zed Plus, a satire on security to VIPs has failed to create ripples as it collects a poor Rs 55 lakh in its first week.

    Happy Ending too has failed miserably. The film has collected Rs 1.25 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 14.75 crore.

    Chaar Sahibzaade continued to be rock steady as it added Rs 7.7 crore in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 30.8 crore.

    Kill/Dil has run its course adding just Rs 30 lakh in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 33.87 crore.

    A poor week at the BO

    MUMBAI: Ungli is poor. The film has managed to garner just about Rs 9.55 crore for the first weekend. The film is stale and suffers due to poor title as well as the content. It is the poorest performers among Emraan Hashmi films.

     

    Zid has proved to be the second best in a very poor week. The film, where the producer and the director parted ways and unwanted, explicit scenes came in, failed to work. The film has proved to be an unmitigated disaster managing to collect about Rs 3.5 crore.

     

    Zed Plus, despite limited screenings, has not been able to draw crowds. Happy Ending is a disaster at Rs 19.1 crore in its first week.

     

    Kill/Dil adds another Rs 2.75 crore to its collections in the second week to take its two week total to Rs 33.57 crore.

     

    Chaar Sahib Zaade rocks. The film has added Rs 8.2 crore in its third week (includes Punjabi and Hindi versions) to take its three week total to Rs 23.1 crore.

     

    Happy New Year has added Rs 40 lakh in its fifth week taking its five week total to Rs 171.6 crore.

    The Gulab Gang brings together Madhuri and Juhi

    MUMBAI: Anubhav Sinha’s Gulaab Gang features Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla. With Gulaab Gang, Sinha brings for the very first time two bollywood divas – Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla on the big screen.

    The Ra.One director is also the producer of the film and admits that it was not an easy project to put together.

    It was Anubhav Sinha’s long-standing dream to start a production house and he is more than happy to have Gulaab Gang as his first project under his banner, Benaras Media Works.

    “Our film is a self supporting fantasy, a work of fiction where someday women will be strong and self-reliant enough to win every walk of life.” Sinha said.

    Gulab Gang is an all women’s action-thriller-musical. The movie attempts to encompass everything beautiful, simple, soulful and strongly wishes that the Indian woman were empowered in today’s day and age.

    Sinha adds, “The country is not safe today. The women aren’t safe. And we wish to think of a time that will come when women will not need the authority or support of men to fight their own battles.”

    Benaras Media Works is also producing a slate of films including Warning, Gulaab Gang and Zid. Benaras Beat has tied up with Sony Music to market the music of Warning and Zid.
