Box Office Report:'Tanu Weds Manu' stable in average position

Box Office Report:'Tanu Weds Manu' stable in average position: Last Friday’s release Tanu Weds Manu is holding steady at the box office, even as director Vishal Bhardwaj’s much hyped 7 Khoon Maaf is breathing its last.

The ongoing Cricket World Cup has certainly taken the footfalls away from theatres, but despite that director Anand L Rai’s matrimonial comedy Tanu Weds Manu, starring Kangana Ranaut and Madhavan, has managed a fairly decent weekend at the box office.

As per trade figures, it did a business of Rs. 3.2 crore on Friday. The collections picked up and reached Rs. 4.15 crore on Saturday, but fell down on Sunday to Rs. 3.7 crore, possibly because of the India-England nail-biter in Bangalore.

The film’s first weekend figure stands at approx Rs. 11 crore nett.

On the other hand, 7 Khoon Maaf is gasping its last breath. The film’s collections fell by 80 percent after the first week collection of Rs. 15 crore nett.

Box Office Report: 'Tanu Weds Manu' gives possitive respose

Box Office Report: 'Tanu Weds Manu' gives positive response: This Friday’s release Tanu Weds Manu has taken a decent start at the box office while the last week’s release 7 Khoon Maaf is going down.

Tanu Weds Manu, starring Kangana Ranaut as a rebellious small-town girl dead against arranged marriage and Madhavan as a possible suitor hand-picked by her parents, has opened to a fairly good 40 percent response at ticket windows. Though the response was more heartening in north India than elsewhere, the film is expected to perform well over the weekend and the coming weeks because it doesn’t any stiff competition at box office.

Vishal Bhardwaj’s much hyped 7 Khoon Maaf has turned out to be a colossal disappointment. It rounded off its first week with a collection of Rs. 15 crore nett.

Likewise, Patiala House completed its two-week run at box office with a total business of Rs. 30.50 crore so far. It’s being labelled a flop.

The coming month would see no big releases from Bollywood due to the ongoing cricket world cup and also because of the examinations in schools and colleges. It’s that time of the year when the box office goes into doldrums.

Box Office Report: '7 Khoon Maaf' open with mix response

Box Office Report: '7 Khoon Maaf' open with mix response: 7 Khoon Maaf opened to mixed response from the audience; critics were also divided in their opinion. It has affected the first weekend business of the film. The murder thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring the stunning Priyanka Chopra was expected to be a riveting watch, but the movie has got few takers.

7 Khoon Maaf did an approx business of Rs 10.25-10.50 crore during the weekend. Check out the figures: on Friday the movie could manage a mere Rs 3.30 crore. It picked up to Rs 3.35 crore on Saturday and Rs 3.75 crore approximately on Sunday. Seeing the collections, the trade pundits have raised doubts over the movie’s performance in the coming days. The film might collect Rs 15 crore from its first week.

Coming to Patiala House, the movie collected Rs 24.50 crore approx in its first week. Yeh Saali Zindagi had a decent second week of around Rs 3.25 crore approx, taking its two-week total to Rs 10.75 crore. The movie’s performance can be rated below average.

This Friday, it’s the romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu, starring Kangana Ranaut and Madhavan, for you.

Box Office Report: ‘Patiala House’s bad response still on the way!

Box Office Report: ‘Patiala House’s bad response still on the way!: After a slow start on Friday, Nikhil Advani’s new movie Patiala House couldn’t pick up on the weekend. As per reports, the movie collected Rs 2.75 crore approx on Monday. The film has witnessed a drop of 40-45% in its collection since Friday, and it’s been just four days.

If the movie continues to remain steady at BO, it can manage to get close to Rs 25 crore mark in its first week. But this is not a good figure for any Akshay Kumar film because most of his movies get much more than Rs 25 crore approx in their first weekend.

It’s certain that the movie is not going to be a big hit but because of its not-so-high budget, the producers can heave a sigh of relief. They are also benefitted by Akshay’s profit sharing deal and also with the rebate given by the UK government for films shot in the country.

The collections of Yeh Saali Zindagi in its second weekend were average. The film has managed to hold on at theatres in spite of the release of Patiala House. The movie is likely to do a share of around Rs 5.75 crore in its lifetime run.

This Friday, Priyanka Chopra is ready to jolt the BO with her 7 Khoon Maaf.

Box Office Report: 'Patiala House' opens with poor response

Box Office Report: 'Patiala House' opens with poor response: Akshay Kumar’s latest film Patiala House has opened to an unexpectedly poor response at the box office.

Luck seems to have run out on Akshay Kumar, for after the failure of his Tees Maar Khan, his new release Patiala House too wasn’t able to attract many footfalls in theatres on its opening day, Friday.


The film opened to 30 to 40 percent response in multiplexes, and a dismal 10 to 20 percent occupancy at single screen theatres. This is shockingly low for a superstar whose films used to open to packed houses just two years back. The reviews by critics are mixed and so is the audience reaction to the Nikhil Advani-directed film.

Meanwhile, last week’s release Yeh Saali Zindagi rounded off its first week with a collection of Rs. 7.5 crore net. On the other hand, Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji continued to slide down and did a business of Rs. 6 crore during its second week. The film’s collection so far is in the proximity of Rs. 27 crore.

The coming Friday would see the release of Vishal Bhardwaj’s much awaited film 7 Khoon Maaf.

Box Office Report: ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’ vs ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’

Box Office Report: ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’ vs ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’: Last Friday saw as many as five releases, but except Yeh Saali Zindagi no other movie could start off well at the box office. Hum Dono (Rangeen), Tum Hi Toh Ho, United Six and Utt Pataang -- all had very low collections over the weekend.

Sudhir Mishra’s dark romantic tale Yeh Saali Zindagi collected around Rs 1.10-1.20 crore approx on its first day. The movie picked up on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, it collected Rs 1.60 crore and did a business of Rs 1.75 crore aprox on Sunday. The movie is expected to collect Rs 6.50 crore approx in its first week.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji continues its run at the box office. Though the movie had mixed response it fared well in its first week with the collection of Rs 21 crore. But the collections are down by around 70% which is not good for the film.

Coming to Aamir Khan’s production Dhobi Ghat, the movie did the business of Rs 1.25 crore approx in its second week. The two-week total now is of around Rs 13.75 crore. The movie is not a hit.

Get ready for Akshay Kumar’s film Patiala House which is releasing coming Friday.

Box Office Report: 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' open with average start

Box Office Report: 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' open with average start: Most of the four releases this Friday -- Yeh Saali Zindagi, Utt Pataang, United Six and Hum Dono (Rangeen) -- face rejection at the box office.

More Yeh Saali Zindagi Movie Stills

Of the four, the most promising (relatively) is director Sudhir Mishra’s rom-com crime caper Yeh Saali Zindagi, starring Irrfan Khan, Chitrangada Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Arunoday Singh. The film has got very positive reviews from critics and grossed around Rs. 1.20 crore on its opening day, which is below average.

Given the positive word of mouth, the collection might pick up on Saturday evening and Sunday.

On the other hand, Utt Pataang saw a very low response of about 10 percent (or even less) and grossed just a paltry sum of Rs. 10 lakh on its opening day.

The other two films - United Six and Hum Dono - fear a total washout at theatres.

Last week’s release Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji has rounded off its first week collection at a figure of Rs. 21 crore.

Box Office Report: ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’ VS ‘Dhobi Ghat’

Box Office Report: ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’ VS ‘Dhobi Ghat’: After a dull start on Friday, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji picked up on Saturday and Sunday, but movie couldn’t do much dhamaal at the box office. This Madhur Bhandarkar film had an average first weekend of around Rs 14.50 crore approx.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji collected Rs 3.95 crore approx on Friday, Rs 4.85 crore approx on Saturday and Rs 5.75 crore approx on Sunday. Though it’s decent till now, as per trade reports, a big jump and good second weekend is possible for the film because there are no major releases this week except Yeh Saali Zindagi.

Coming to Dhobi Ghat, the movie collected Rs 13 crore in its first week but saw a major drop on eighth day. The movie may have to struggle to touch the Rs 15 crore mark. This Aamir Khan production though not successful in India is well received at the overseas market. The film collected around $950,000 (Rs 4.25 crore) from all the overseas market that includes United Kingdom, North America, UAE and Australia.

Another film that is doing extremely well overseas is Yamla Pagla Deewana. The collection of the movie has nearly touched $2.5 million (Rs 11.25 crore) from all markets. The movie is reportedly doing superb business in Canada which can be compared to the hits like Singh is Kinng, 3 Idiots and Mel Karade Rabba (Punjabi).

Box Office Report: 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' up after down start

Box Office Report: 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' up after down start: Madhur Bhandarkar’s foray into a different stream has been met with mixed response from the critics and viewers alike. Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji took a dull start at box office on Friday but picked up slightly in the evening.

The movie, starring a host of actors including Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shruti Haasan and Shraddha Das, saw a 40 percent response at most urban centres on Friday morning. The collections went up slightly in the evening and are expected to rise, or at least remain steady, throughout the weekend.

The fact that Ajay Devgan’s films have been doing well lately might give heart to the producers and distributors who are hopeful that the collections will rise considerably in the coming days.

On the other hand, Aamir Khan’s Dhobi Ghat rounded off its first week with a collection of Rs. 13 crore net. The film is more of an arthouse cinema and perhaps that’s why it fared shockingly low at box office compared with Aamir’s previous blockbusters.

Meanwhile, the Deol storm is continuing unabated through North India as their film Yamla Pagla Deewana is on the cusp of touching the Rs. 50 crore mark after its two weeks at theatres.
