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.

Talaash Second Day Business

Talaash had growth on day two as it collected around 14.50 crore nett adding to the 12.50 crore nett it collected on day one. The two day total is around 27 crore nett.

The film showed huge growth in the North as day one was not too strong. Both Delhi/UP and East Punjab showed 25% growth. Mysore was also fantastic.

The mass market held collections similar to the day before. If Sunday shows the same growth again the film will come out with a very good weekend.

Talaash First Day Business

Talaash First Day Business

Talaash grossed a good 12.25-12.50 crore nett approx on day one due to strong business at multiplexes. Basically most circuits had strong areas and weak areas be it big circuits or smaller circuits.

A Rajasthan was good in Jaipur and Kota but rest were average, Delhi/UP was strong in Delhi city, Noida and Lucknow but other cities were not as good. Similarly in Mumbai circuit, Mumbai city recorded good collections but in Gujarat only a few cities contributed well. The South Indian circuits of Mysore, Nizam and Tamil Nadu were all strong comparatively.

It's a good start for the film and now the key will be what sort of improvement can come on Saturday as a 12 crore first day on this release leaves room for plenty of growth on Saturday if the audience takes to the film.

Life Of Pi Does Very Well In India

Life Of Pi Does Very Well In India

Life Of Pi has done very well in India especially from Monday onwards. The film opened well but was mainly due to the South Indian markets which recorded very good collections on day one but Monday saw the film hold up very strongly in Delhi/UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan, Bengal and CI. Many theatres across these areas had better collections on Monday than Friday. Some of these areas even managed overall better circuit figures on Monday than Friday. The film had the normal Monday drop in circuits like Mysore which had opened strongly on Friday.

            

The film will close the week with business in excess of 20 crore nett all over India and should go to around 30 crore nett plus for lifetime business despite the release of biggies like Talaash and Khiladi 786 over the next two weeks.

Raaz 3 Paid Previews Response

Raaz 3 Does Well On Paid Previews
Raaz 3 got a good response at paid previews with collections being 80-85% at places. The response was best in circuits like CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan. The film had 1 or 2 shows at many multiplexes across the country. Raaz 3 will the biggest release for an Emraan Hashmi starrer as it releases on over 2000 screens. His previous biggest was Jannat 2 which was just shy of 2000 screens. The film also has advantage of being screened in 3D format so will be expected to beat the Jannat 2 opening numbers but a lot will depend on good the collections in the big cities as mass belts should score over Jannat 2 initially at least.

Anushka Sharma may join Salman Khan in Kick...

Anushka Sharma may join Salman Khan in Kick...

Anushka Sharma made a confident debut in Bollywood.

Now we hear that she has started the groundwork to star in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Salman Khan in Kick.

Just recently we heard that Deepika Padukone was trying hard to make her way into Salman Khan’s onscreen life, but Anushka might bag this role because she has more dates to spare. Deepika has a number of big-name projects already to work on, while Anushka has only three films in her kitty. That will make it easy for her to concentrate on the Sallu movie, and director Sajid Nadiadwala – who is making his directorial debut with Kick – might appreciate it if his leading lady had plenty of time to spare for him.

For now, we don’t know who finally will romance the Dabangg dude in Kick, but watch this space for all the developments on this South remake.
