Both the new releases of this week — SON OF SARDAAR 2 and DHADAK 2 — did not open to impressive houses. With the reports being below the mark, their future at the box-office appears bleak.

Rasa turned out to be a debacle in the first week.

So Long Valley proved to be a disaster in the first week.

Mahavatar Narsimha (animation, Hindi and South languages) is the surprise blockbuster of the year because it came from almost nowhere but is taking the nation by storm. It did extraordinary business in 1st week after an ordinary start. The word of mouth for the film was so outstanding that collections multiplied all over India as the days progressed. The second week has also started on a super-strong note. The film netted Rs. 1.75 crore on the first day. Collections almost trebled to Rs. 4.75 crore on Saturday. The jump in collections on Sunday took the day’s total to Rs. 8.85 crore. In this way, the first weekend closed at Rs. 15.35 crore. Collections for the weekdays were phenomenal because the response and reactions of the public in the cinemas had spread like wild fire. In fact, in one of the rarest of rare cases, collections of each of the weekdays was better than those of the immediately preceding day: Monday – Rs. 5.15 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 6.70 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 7.20 crore, Thursday – Rs. 7.60 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was an astounding Rs. 26.65 crore. In this way, the total for the first week was Rs. 42 crore, which was 24 times the first day’s collections!!

The Fantastic 4: First Steps (dubbed and the original English versions) did fairly well in the first week. It netted approximately Rs. 15 crore in the first weekend, and around Rs. 10 crore during the weekdays. Therefore, the first week closed at Rs. 25 crore.

Saiyaara continued to do extraordinary in 2nd week too. It crossed the Rs. 250-crore mark and is on its way to touching the Rs. 300-crore mark in the third weekend. The film started the second weekend with a take of Rs. 18.50 crore on Friday. Collections on Saturday rose to Rs. 27 crore and further to Rs. 30 crore on Sunday.

‘SAIYAARA’ FEVER GRIPS NATION

The entire nation seems to be under the grip of Saiyaara fever. The love story swept the audience off their feet to show signs of easily emerging as the biggest blockbuster of the year so far. Whether in the big cities or ‘B’ and ‘C’ class centres, box-office collections underlined the love the public was showering on the love story of two debut-making stars. YRF’s Saiyaara is proving to be the modern-day Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also produced by YRF. The film netted an earth-shattering Rs. 22 crore on the first day. After the phenomenal start, collections jumped 20% on Saturday so that the day closed at Rs. 26.25 crore. Collections took a further jump — of almost 40% — on Sunday which, therefore, closed at Rs. 36.25 crore.

This is an all-time record for a romantic film starring newcomers.

‘SAIYAARA’ WAVE SWEEPS NATION

SAIYAARA has come like a hurricane and swept the trade off its feet. Whether in ‘A’, ‘B’ or even ‘C’ class centres, the musical love story opened big yesterday (18th July). What’s heartening is that the public reports have lived up to the extraordinary initial so that the momentum will remain intact for the entire week! The craze to see two newcomers launched in the film is of the kind not seen after Hrithik Roshan’s introduction in KAHO NAA…PYAAR HAI in 2000. SAIYAARA netted Rs. 21.25 crore on the first day, a figure which has left the entire trade staring in disbelief.

Maalik has not found much appreciation. It managed fair numbers in the first week, only in pockets where the audience prefer action dramas. It netted just Rs. 3.50 crore on the first day (Friday). Collections on Saturday went up to Rs. 4.50 crore. The total for Sunday was Rs. 4.30 crore, taking the first weekend’s total to Rs. 12.30 crore. The weekdays saw collections go down: Monday – Rs. 1.40 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.85 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.35 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.10 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 5.70 crore. Therefore, the first week closed at only Rs. 18 crore.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan bombed in the first week as it faced almost complete rejection. The film, based on a short story, should never have been attempted because it was not meant to be converted into a feature film, at least not this kind of a film which kept on going in circles. It netted only Rs. 1.50 crore in 1st week.

Superman (dubbed and the original English versions) did very well in the first week. The weekend started with a take of Rs. 7.23 crore on Friday. Collections jumped to Rs. 9.99 crore on Saturday while the figure for Sunday was Rs. 9.39 crore. After a first weekend total of Rs. 26.61 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 2.36 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2.79 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 2.01 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.81 crore. With the total for the weekdays being Rs. 8.97 crore, the first week closed at Rs. 35.58 crore.

Metro… In Dino maintained quite well in the big cities, but collections at other places weren’t impressive. The first day of the second weekend closed at Rs. 2.50 crore. Collections on Saturday and Sunday increased to Rs. 4.40 crore and Rs. 4.60 crore respectively, taking the second weekend’s total to Rs. 11.50 crore. Collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 1.25 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.50 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.35 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.25 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 5.35 crore. Hence the total for 2nd week was Rs. 16.85 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 42.85 crore.

Jurassic World: Rebirth (dubbed and the original English versions) did well in the second week although collections dropped more than 50% because of the opposition of Superman and the running film, F1: The Movie. Collections for the weekend, especially, were excellent. The second weekend started with a net collection of Rs. 3.10 crore on Friday. Collections saw a phenomenal jump on Saturday which closed at Rs. 7.64 crore. Collections further increased to Rs. 8.26 crore on Sunday so that the second weekend closed at Rs. 19 crore. Collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 1.68 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2.02 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.54 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.38 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 6.62 crore. In this way, the second week closed at Rs. 25.62 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 82.10 crore. The film should comfortably enter the Rs. 100-crore club in the days to come, most likely in its fourth week.

Maa added around Rs. 1.70 crore to its kitty in 3rd week. Hence the grand total for 3 weeks went up to Rs. 31.70 crore.

F1: The Movie (dubbed and the original English versions) continued its speedy run in the third week too, of course, mainly the original English version. The film netted Rs. 1.69 crore on the first day (Friday) of the third weekend. Collections almost doubled to Rs. 3.27 crore on Saturday. The total for Sunday was Rs. 3.53 crore. In this way, the third weekend closed at Rs. 8.49 crore. The collections for the weekdays were very steady: Monday – Rs. 1.15 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.30 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.27 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.20 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 4.92 crore. In this way, the third week closed at Rs. 13.41 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 73.07 crore. Extraordinary, considering that it is car racing film and not a usual masala entertainer.

Sitaare Zameen Par held on at medium levels in the fourth week. It collected Rs. 0.85 crore on the first day of the fourth weekend. Collections on Saturday and Sunday almost trebled to Rs. 2.25 crore and Rs. 2.60 crore respectively. Therefore, the totalfor 4th weekend was Rs. 5.70 crore.

With the total for the weekdays being Rs. 2.80 crore, the fourth week closed at Rs. 8.50 crore. Grand total for 4 weeks: Rs. 162.19 crore.

Just like last week (JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH versus METRO… IN DINO), Hollywood outshone Bollywood this week too!

‘SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR’ APPEALS TO UNIVERSAL AUDIENCE, INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED IN TRADE DISPUTE ITS SUCCESS

Sitaare Zameen Par more than proved its mettle in the first week but like the ten children in the heartwarming film, there seems to be no dearth of intellectually challenged people in the trade who insisted all through the week that collections were rigged or that producer Aamir Khan had resorted to block (corporate) bookings to prop up the film. Of course, there was no truth in the fake stories of block bookings doing the rounds. Yes, there were cases of block bookings but they were genuine instances — of schools and organisations booking tickets in bulk for their students/members. The film netted Rs. 10.70 crore on the first day, an extraordinary figure considering the theme and the star cast. Although the opening day’s collection set the tone for the weekend, nobody was prepared for the 86% growth on Saturday. The jump took even the most optimistic persons by surprise because one hasn’t seen such a jump (86%) in collections on the second day for a film with even a decent start, what to talk of a film with a lovely initial. Saturday closed at Rs. 19.90 crore. Collections on Sunday saw yet another huge jump, again unprecedented after an 86% increase on the second day. The total for Sunday was Rs. 26.70 crore. After a first weekend total of Rs. 57.30 crore (more than five times the first day’s collection!!), collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 8.50 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 8.60 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 7.51 crore, Thursday – Rs. 6.55 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 31.16 crore. In this way, the first week closed at a whopping Rs. 88.46 crore. The second weekend started on a super-strong note as Friday recorded a total collection of Rs. 6.67 crore, slightly more than the Thursday total in spite of several new releases!

Kuberaa (dubbed) fared miserably in the first week. It collected around Rs. 0.50 crore only in 1st week.

28 Years Later (dubbed and the original English versions) did average in 1st week. After netting Rs. 0.12 crore on the first day (Thursday), it collected only Rs. 2.20 crore in the remaining seven days of the first week. Hence the total for the first 8-day week was Rs. 2.32 crore.

Elio (animation; dubbed and the original English versions) did very ordinary in the first week. It collected only Rs. 1.60 crore in 1st week.

How To Train Your Dragon (dubbed and the original English versions) fell around 65% in 2nd week. It netted Rs. 0.58 crore on Friday.

After a third weekend total of Rs. 7 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 0.65 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.75 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.50 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.40 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 2.30 crore. In this way, the third week closed at Rs. 9.30 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 153.30 crore.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (dubbed and the original English versions) is in its last lap. It netted only Rs. 0.85 crore in its sixth week. Grand total for 6 weeks: Rs. 110.26 crore.

Final Destination: Bloodlines (dubbed and the original English versions) is on its way out of the cinemas.

‘SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR’ OFF TO GREAT START, SET TO GROW MORE

This week’s SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR was off to a great start after not-so-good footfalls in the early shows. But collections picked up as the day progressed. With the word of mouth being terrific, collections are bound to grow phenomenally today (Saturday). In fact, the jump in collections on the second day may be historic. In other words, no earlier Hindi film, which has opened at more than Rs. 5 crore on the first day, may have seen such a huge jump (as SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR will see).
