BORDER 2 swept the box-office yesterday (January 23) with an enviable initial. Although the first shows on the first day had to be cancelled at several cinemas due to a delay in content delivery, the film’s start could be described as excellent at the end of the day which closed at Rs. 30 crore!

Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos fared badly in the first week. The film netted Rs. 3.25 crore in the first weekend, and another Rs. 1.75 crore during the weekdays. Therefore, the first week closed at only Rs. 5 crore.

Rahu Ketu failed to make a mark in 1st week. After a slow start, the first weekend closed at Rs. 3.50 crore while the total for the weekdays was just Rs. 2 crore. In this way, the film netted only Rs. 5.50 crore in 1st week.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (dubbed and the original English versions) fared badly in 1st week. It collected Rs. 0.65 crore in the first weekend, and Rs. 0.35 crore during the weekdays. Hence the first week closed at only Rs. 1 crore.

The Rajasaab (dubbed) crashed in the second week. With a frighteningly poor start in the first week, and given the fast and furious drop in collections thereafter, the film is poised to cause heavy losses to its producers/distributors. It managed to collect only Rs. 0.85 crore in the second weekend. Collections during the weekdays totalled Rs. 0.40 crore. In this way, the second week’s total was Rs. 1.25 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 17 crore.

Therefore, the film collected Rs. 1.35 crore in 3rd week. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 26.40 crore. Taking into account the block bookings on the first day (January 1), the total for 3 weeks was Rs. 28.40 crore.

In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 5.15 crore. Hence the film netted Rs. 13 crore in 7th week. Grand total for 7 weeks: Rs. 786.15 crore. If the block bookings of the first day are taken into account, the grand total for 7 weeks would be Rs. 791.15 crore.

Aga Aga Sunbai! Kay Mhantay Sasubai? (Marathi) did fairly well in the first week in Maharashtra.

Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam (Marathi) is still going strong. It fared very well in the third week too. In fact, its third week’s collections were almost as good as in the first week. Of course, collections in 2nd week were better than in the first week.

The new releases of this week turned out to be major disappointments. HAPPY PATEL KHATARNAK JASOOS took a miserable start. RAHU KETU also cut a sorry picture of itself!

The Rajasaab (dubbed) failed to enthuse the audience. It fared miserably in the first week. Considering its super-high budget, collections of the first week were frighteningly poor. The film netted only Rs. 5.50 crore on the first day. Collections dropped to Rs. 3.25 crore on Saturday, and further to Rs. 3 crore on Sunday. The horrifyingly low collection figure for Sunday sealed the fate of the film! After a first weekend total of Rs. 11.75 crore, collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 1 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.15 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.85 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 4 crore. In this way, the first week closed at Rs. 15.75 crore.

Shambhala (dubbed) proved a non-starter in the first week.

Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate (dubbed) did not score with the Hindi-speaking audience in 1st week. Not even the blockbuster status of its original Gujarati language version helped attract the Hindi film-going audience to the cinemas.

Ikkis dropped markedly in the second week. The second weekend started with a take of Rs. 0.75 crore on Friday. Collections on Saturday increased to Rs. 1.25 crore. The total for Sunday — Rs. 1.30 crore — was almost the same as on Saturday.

In this way, the total for the weekdays was only Rs. 1.45 crore. Therefore, the total for 2nd week was Rs. 4.75 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 25.05 crore. Taking into account the block bookings on the first day (January 1), the total for 2 weeks was Rs. 27.05 crore.

Avatar: Fire And Ash (dubbed and the original English versions) did fair business in the fourth week in spite of a sizeable drop in collections. It joined the Rs. 200-crore club at the end of the fourth week. The fourth weekend netted Rs. 6.25 crore while the total for the weekdays was Rs. 4.25 crore. Therefore, the total for 4th week was Rs. 10.50 crore. Grand total for 4 weeks: Rs. 200.05 crore.

Dhurandhar raced ahead in the face of all competition. In just six weeks, it has become the biggest Hindi blockbuster of all times, outshining the previous best, Pushpa: The Rule Part 2 (dubbed). It collected Rs. 3.40 crore on the first day of the sixth weekend. Collections on Saturday jumped to Rs. 5.75 crore. With the total for Sunday going up to Rs. 6.35 crore, the sixth weekend closed at Rs. 15.50 crore. The grand total till the sixth weekend went up to Rs. 762.65 crore, which was more than the lifetime total (Rs. 760 crore) of Pushpa: The Rule Part 2 (dubbed). Collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 2.20 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2.65 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 2.75 crore, Thursday – Rs. 2.90 crore. The total for the weekdays was, therefore, Rs. 10.50 crore. Hence the total for the sixth week was Rs. 26 crore. Grand total for 6 weeks: Rs. 773.15 crore. If the block bookings of the first day are taken into account, the grand total for 6 weeks would be Rs. 778.15 crore.

Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam (Marathi) did extraordinary business in the second week in Maharashtra. In fact, collections in 2nd week were almost 60% more than in the first week.

THE RAJASAAB has not found appreciation. It didn’t even take an impressive initial yesterday (January 9). What’s worse is that the public reports were generally negative.  

Ikkis did very ordinary business in the first week. After netting Rs. 4.50 crore on the first day (Thursday, January 1), it collected Rs. 3 crore on Friday. Collections on Saturday and Sunday increased to Rs. 4 crore and Rs. 4.30 crore respectively. The small increase on Sunday underlined the fact that the reports were not up to the mark. After a first 4-day weekend of Rs. 15.80 crore, collections on the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 1.20 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.35 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.95 crore. With the total for the weekdays being Rs. 4.50 crore, the total for 1st week was Rs. 15.80 crore. If the 8-day week is considered, the total was Rs. 20.30 crore.

Collections on Saturday and Sunday were Rs. 0.65 crore and Rs. 0.70 crore respectively. Therefore, the total for 2nd weekend was a meagre Rs. 1.90 crore. Collections for the weekdays were worse still: Monday – Rs. 0.30 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.30 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.25 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.20 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 1.05 crore. In this way, the second week closed at Rs. 2.95 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 30.15 crore. If the block bookings of the first day (December 25) are taken into account, the grand total for 2 weeks was Rs. 32.65 crore.

Avatar: Fire And Ash (dubbed and the original English versions) dropped more than 50% in 3rd week, but still managed to net fairly nice collections. The third weekend started with a take of Rs. 4.25 crore. Collections on Saturday jumped to Rs. 5.75 crore. The total for Sunday was Rs. 6 crore. After a third weekend total of Rs. 16 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 1.75 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.50 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.25 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 6.50 crore. In this way, the third week closed at Rs. 22.50 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 189.55 crore.

Dhurandhar continued its victory march in 5th week also. The fifth weekend started with a net collection of Rs. 8.25 crore on Friday. Collections on Saturday jumped to Rs. 10.75 crore. The total for Sunday was again impressive at Rs. 12 crore. After a fantastic fifth weekend total of Rs. 31 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 4 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 4 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 3.50 crore, Thursday – Rs. 3.50 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays closed at a fantastic Rs. 15 crore, taking the total for 5th week to Rs. 46 crore. Grand total for 5 weeks: Rs. 747.15 crore. If the block bookings of the first day are taken into account, the grand total for 5 weeks would be Rs. 752.15 crore. It needs to collect just about Rs. 14 crore more to outdo the biggest Hindi blockbuster ever, Pushpa: The Rule Part 2 (dubbed). In all probability, it will wear the crown at the end of the sixth weekend itself.

Zootopia 2 (animation; dubbed and the original English versions) added Rs. 1.25 crore to its kitty in the sixth week. Grand total for 6 weeks: Rs. 27.50 crore.

Collections on Saturday increased to Rs. 19.50 crore. The total for Sunday was Rs. 21.25 crore. After an earth-shattering total of Rs. 55.75 crore in the fourth weekend, collections for the weekdays were again mesmerising: Monday – Rs. 10 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 10.75 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 9.90 crore, Thursday (New Year’s day) – Rs. 14.75 crore.

The Dhurandhar wave has swept the industry. The pattern of its performance at the ticket windows is of the kind never seen before! Collections on Wednesday and Thursday were better than the collections on Monday, and even Saturday, at places. The second weekend has started on such a high note that it looks like the film will turn out to be one of the biggest Hindi blockbuster ever. Believe it or faint but the second weekend will be better than the first, which itself was humongous!! It should be no surprise if the second week’s total exceeds that of the first week by probably Rs. 35-40 crore, maybe more, because the film seems to be unstoppable. As predicted last week in our review, ladies are also patronising the film — and in a big, big way — despite the gruesome violence. The film netted Rs. 19 crore on the first day. Collections jumped to Rs. 30 crore on Saturday, and further to Rs. 40 crore on Sunday. In this way, the first weekend closed at Rs. 89 crore. Collections during the weekdays were nothing short of extraordinary: Monday – Rs. 22 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 27 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 26 crore, Thursday – Rs. 26 crore.
