Thamma, after releasing on Tuesday (October 21) owing to Diwali holidays, did well for the first six days till the weekend, but dropped markedly thereafter.

In this way, the first 10-day week closed at Rs. 11.90 crore.

Lalo (Gujarati), which started slow on Diwali (Tuesday, October 21), picked up so phenomenally as the 10-day week progressed that the low-budget film is turning out to be a big hit in Gujarat and Saurashtra!

The two releases of Diwali — THAMMA and EK DEEWANE KI DEEWANIYAT — reaped the benefit of the festive period by doing very well on the first day (Tuesday, October 21). Collections dropped on the balance days of Diwali but still, they were higher than what they’d have been had they not released in the Diwali week. THAMMA seems to have been liked by the audience so that it will easily cross the Rs. 150-crore mark in its lifetime. …Gujarati film CHANIYA TOLI swept the Gujarati box-office with outstanding collections in the first three days of the first weekend.

Thamma started with a net collection of Rs. 25.11 crore on Tuesday (October 21). The Diwali holiday aided the opening markedly, making this the biggest opening for an Ayushmann Khurrana starrer.

In this way, the total for the first 4 days of the first 6-day weekend was Rs. 71.47 crore. The first 6-day weekend is likely to close at Rs. 95-plus crore. The film will comfortably cross the Rs. 150-crore mark in its lifetime.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat started with a net collection of Rs. 9.25 crore on Tuesday (October 21), thanks to its super-hit music, Diwali release and the new-found love for hero Harshvardhan Rane after the stupendous success of his Sanam Teri Kasam in its repeat-run earlier (in February) this year. Collections dropped to Rs. 8 crore on Wednesday, and further to Rs. 6.25 crore on Thursday. After a three-day total of Rs. 23.50 crore, the total for Friday was Rs. 5.75 crore. Therefore, the total for the first 4 days of the 6-day weekend was Rs. 29.25 crore. Even though the reports are not very encouraging, the super-hit songs have done the trick for the debut film of the producers. A first-time producer making profits in his maiden production venture is a rarity, but producers Anshul Garg, Dinesh Jain and Raghav Sharma will make money in their debut enterprise as producers. The good part is that the satellite and digital rights had not been pre-sold.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 (dubbed) was quite good in 3rd week too. It reaped the benefit of the Diwali holidays in spite of the opposition of the two Diwali releases.

Therefore, the grand total for 3 weeks was Rs. 54.25 crore. If the block bookings of the first week are taken into account, the grand total for 3 weeks would be Rs. 60 crore.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari did not find much appreciation from the audience. It did well in some multiplexes of the big cities mainly.
