Lootera First Day Business

Lootera had below the mark collections with first day likely to come out in the 4.25-4.50 crore nett region. the film fared better in the metros with mass belts having very low collections.

The collections are similar to Ranveer Singh's last film Ladies vs Ricky Bahl which was released 18 months back but Lootera is a much bigger film than that film.

The best collections have come in West Bengal as the film is set there but the Central belt has low collections and North also has not collected outside the Delhi/NCR region. The film will have to show very strong growth to come out with even reasonable weekend figures.

Policegiri First Day Business

Policegiri fared poorly on its first day with collections around the 2.50 crore nett mark. The collections at multiplexes were very bad especially the metros, Dehi city had ridiculously low collections.

The film did fare better in places like UP, Bihar, CPCI and Rajasthan as these areas collected better than Lootera which was very low in these areas. But Policegiri had to put up excellent numbers in these mass belts to get even reasonable day one figures as urban centres so low.

Policegiri has had such a low start that its impossible for the film to score at the box office unless there is some sort of miracle 300% jump on Saturday.

Lootera And Policegiri Start Slowly

Lootera and Policegiri both started slowly at the box office with Lootera recording collections of 30-35% at metro multiplexes but lower elsewhere while Policegiri was awful at multiplexes on its limited release though single screens recorded better collections of around 30%.

A start like this for Policegiri means its an uphill struggle because when a film in the action genre does not open it is a lost cause most of the time.

Lootera was never expected to open and will depend on what sort of growth it shows over the weekend but like Raanjhanaa it will have a lot of work to do as the budget is on the higher side looking at the type of film it is and a male lead whose previous films have not done that well at the box office which makes an it even harder for the film as far as opening morning collections are concerned.

Indian Idol Junior: Sonakshi Sinha - Ranveer Singh

The Lootera duo surprised everyone by unleashing their hidden talents on sets of the singing reality show

Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh are on a roll to promote their latest flick Lootera. And after making their presence felt on various TV shows, the couple recently made an appearance on Indian Idol Junior. What’s more interesting than their presence was that both actors showcased their not-so-known sides on the show. First up was Ranveer, who wooed the audience and the contestants with his shayarana andaaz. After adhaansu performance by contestant Anmol, the actor in fabulously fun and poetic way said, “Anmol, Anmol, Anmol, jama diya tune rock n roll.” Yeah, so you may remember that RS is a good rapper, no?

On the other hand, Sona showed off her vocal skills by singing Tu ashiqui hain along with a contestant. And that’s not just it! She even grooved to the song Hawa hawai in great Sridevi ishtyle. Later, Ranveer also took to the stage and sang Humma humma with full vigour, leaving the audience asking for more.

Raanjhanaa Rock Steady In Week Two

Raanjhanaa was rock steady in week two collecting around 17 crore nett against the 35 crore nett approx in week one. The week on week drop is around 50%.

The film has now collected 52 crore nett in two weeks and should record good figures in week three despite competing with two new major releases. The film has done very good business all over expect East Punjab and West Bengal where collections are average.

Raanjhanaa has chances to do final business of around 65 crore nett and could even become the fourth highest grossing film of the year by beating the Special 26 total of 65 crore nett.

Ghanchakkar Has Low First Week

Ghanchakkar had low first week collections of around 28 crore nett. The collections came down rapidly over the weekdays. The second week has seen a huge reduction of shows and the film will not add much in week two.

The film put up low numbers in practically all the circuits with Mumbai grossing around 9.50 crore nett and Delhi/UP being 6.50 crore nett approx. Mysore which may have been expected to do better for this type of multiplex film also had disappointing figures of around 1.40 crore nett.

The single screen dominated areas had very low collections be it UP, CP Berar or Bihar.

Table No.21 Has Steady Monday

Table No.21 had a steady Monday collecting around 1 crore nett adding to the 5.75 crore nett it collected over the weekend. The collections after four days are 6.75 crore nett approx.

The Monday collections give the film a chance to hang around at the box office for a few weeks. The key for these type of film's is the next seven days after the weekend as the opening three days are rarely strong due to lack of face value.

The weekdays and second weekend will determine where the film is going but the Monday figures give the film a chance to put up a respectable total.

Nach Baliye 5: Shilpa Shetty, Sajid Khan and Terence Lewis confirmed as judges

After much speculation about Rekha donning the judge’s hat, now we know who all will finally get to sit on the judges’ chair

After a short break from the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, television viewers are now gearing up for the fifth season of Nach Baliye. A lot has been said about Rekha and her long list of conditions that needed to be fulfilled before she took her place at the judge’s panel. But now we hear that the diva won’t be making her small screen debut after all. Birdies chirp that Nach Baliye 5 will be judged by actor and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty, filmmaker Sajid Khan, and choreographer Terence Lewis.

Lewis has been very open about his status on the show, and said in an interview, “I have just signed for the new season of Nach Baliye. It is coming after two years. I will be on the show along with Sajid Khan and Shilpa Shetty. I am very excited.”

Talking about Shilpa, we can’t wait to welcome the lovely lady back into the world of showbiz. And we can’t help but wonder – will little Viaan Raj Kundra too tag along with Mommy to the sets sometimes? Awwww, that would be so cute!

Anyway. For now, it’s time to wait and watch how the fifth season of Nach Baliye will kick off.

Bhatts pay writer Kapil Chopra Rs 20 lakh for stealing Jannat 2 script

Kapil Chopra is now compensated with credits, and gets twice the amount he had asked for

Script writer Kapil Chopra is a relieved man. The young writer had dragged the Bhatts to court a few months ago for allegedly stealing his script and making Jannat 2 based on his concept. Chopra has finally got his due as a court found that the story of Bhatt camp’s production Jannat 2 starring Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda and Esha Gupta was similar to a script Kapil had written a year ago.

The writer had demanded that the makers should pay him Rs 10 lakh and give him due credit as the film’s writer. The Bhatts had defended their stand, but now after the court’s hearing, the makers have coughed up double the amount, Rs 20 lakh, and also have attributed him as the writer of the film. The film was released on May 4, so Kapil could not be given credit in the theatrical screenings. But now that the verdict is out, Kapil Chopra was duly credited when the film was screened on television this Sunday.

Heroine Opens Well

Heroine Opens Well

Heroine opened well at the box office with collections around 55-60% at multiplexes.

The film will come out with a pretty good first day number and by far the highest for a film driven by a heroine. The occupancies are lower than last week's Barfi! which took a strong start at multiplexes but the film has a much wider release than Barfi! of around 2000 screens.

The first day number of Heroine will be much bigger than any other film where the main face value was the female lead. The wide release also gives potential to collect but a lot depends on how well the single screens actually collect.
