May 3, 2025

Raid 2 opened to impressive houses on Thursday (May 1), partly because of the strong brand value after the success of the first part — Raid — and partly because of the Labour Day holiday on that day. It netted Rs. 18.50 crore and although collections dropped on the second day, the fall was to the extent expected on a working second day after a holiday on the first day. Collections totalled Rs. 11.50 crore on day 2 (Friday).

The Bhootnii fared poorly on the first day (Thursday, May 1). It collected only Rs. 0.60 crore.

Thunderbolts (dubbed and the original English versions) opened quite well on Thursday (May 1), netting Rs. 3.51 crore.

Ground Zero found neither appreciation nor a sizeable audience in 1st week. It collected only Rs. 1.32 crore on the first day. Collections increased to Rs. 1.92 crore on Saturday. The total for Sunday was only Rs. 2.22 crore. After a first weekend total of Rs. 5.46 crore only, collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 0.65 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.72 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.58 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.22 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was only Rs. 2.17 crore. Therefore, the total for 1st week was just Rs. 7.63 crore.

Phule found appreciation only from a thin section of the class audience and, therefore, fared poorly in the first week. It started the first weekend with a dull Rs. 25 lakh. Collections jumped to Rs. 43 lakh on Saturday, and increased to Rs. 57 lakh on Sunday. After a low first weekend total of Rs. 1.25 crore, collections on the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 29 lakh, Tuesday – Rs. 25 lakh, Wednesday – Rs. 20 lakh, Thursday – Rs. 13 lakh. Hence the total for the weekdays was only Rs. 87 lakh. In this way, the total for 1st week was Rs. 2.12 crore.

Until Dawn (dubbed and the original English versions) did ordinary business in the first week. It collected approximately Rs. 2.64 crore in the first weekend, and another Rs. 1.28 crore during the weekdays. Since it opened on Thursday in select cinemas in English only, the net collection for Thursday was Rs. 0.05 crore. Hence the total for the first week was Rs. 3.97 crore.

Ne Zha 2 (animation, dubbed and the original Mandarin versions) underperformed in 1st week. Despite extraordinary animation quality — probably the best one has ever seen — the film netted dull collections in its first week because of a confusing drama. It could collect only Rs. 0.80 crore in the first week.

Kesari Chapter 2 held on reasonably well, falling less than 40% in the second week. The second weekend started with a net collection of Rs. 4.05 crore. Collections on Saturday jumped to Rs. 7.20 crore. The Sunday total was Rs. 8.14 crore. After a second weekend total of Rs. 19.39 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 2.65 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2.72 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 2.25 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.80 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 9.42 crore. In this way, the second week closed at Rs. 28.81 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 75.35 crore.

Jaat did very average business in 3rd week. It collected around Rs. 2.90 crore in the third weekend, and another Rs. 1.90 crore during the weekdays. In this way, the total for 3rd week was Rs. 4.80 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 80.98 crore.

A Minecraft Movie (dubbed and the original English versions) collected about Rs. 1.10 crore in the fourth week. Grand total for 4 weeks: Rs. 14 crore.

After a flying start (Rs. 41.50 crore, not Rs. 42.30 crore as mentioned in this column last week) on Wednesday, Bharat dropped to Rs. 28.50 crore on Thursday. The seven days thereafter were as follows: on Friday, it fell down to Rs. 20.25 crore; collections picked up on Saturday (Rs. 25.50 crore) and Sunday (Rs. 26.50 crore) but the jump was not as much as it should’ve been. The India-Australia World Cup cricket match on Sunday was a formidable opposition, of course, but the figure of Saturday (as also of Thursday and Friday) gave an indication that the film was on shaky grounds. The fears started to come true after the five-day weekend as collections came down to single-digit crores: Monday – Rs. 9 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 7.85 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 6.40 crore, Thursday – Rs. 5.50 crore. In this way, while the first 5-day weekend closed at Rs. 142.25 crore, the addition to the kitty during the week days thereafter was only Rs. 28.75 crore. The film’s first 9-day week, therefore, closed at Rs. 171 crore. The film, this week, has the advantage of lack of major opposition. But overall, the film’s business has been a dampener for the trade after Salman starrers like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, which were all 300-crore-plus films. Little wonder then that shows of Bharat were decreased in multiplexes after the long weekend, and those of De De Pyaar De and a couple of other running films, increased.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix (dubbed) and the English original of the same name did fair business in the first week. It opened at Rs. 3.10 crore on Wednesday (Eid). Collections dropped to Rs. 2.10 crore on Thursday. On Friday, the film netted Rs. 2.15 crore. Collections increased to Rs. 3.35 crore on Saturday, and decreased again to Rs. 2.85 crore on Sunday. The 5-day weekend closed at Rs. 13.55 crore. Collections on the weekdays: Monday – Rs. 1.10 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1 crore; Wednesday – Rs. 0.90 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.80 crore. In this way, the film netted Rs. 3.80 crore during the weekdays and thereby took its first 9-day week’s total to Rs. 17.35 crore.

Godzilla II – King Of The Monsters (dubbed) and the English original of the same name netted Rs. 2.40 crore in the second weekend, and another Rs. 1.40 crore during the weekdays. In other words, it added Rs. 3.80 crore to its kitty in the second week, thereby taking its 2-week total to Rs. 23.95 crore.

Aladdin (dubbed) and the English original of the same name collected Rs. 3.20 crore in its third weekend, and Rs. 2.10 crore during the week days. That is to say, it added Rs. 5.30 crore to its kitty in the third week, taking its total for 3 weeks to Rs. 49.30 crore.

De De Pyaar De added Rs. 2 crore in the fourth weekend, and another Rs. 1.55 crore during the weekdays. In this way, it added Rs. 3.55 crore to its total, and took its 4-week total to Rs. 91.75 crore.

Collections on Saturday went up only marginally, to Rs. 0.60 crore. The figure for Sunday was the same, Rs. 0.60 crore, which sealed the film’s fate if it was not already sealed.

The much hyped Eid release, Salman Khan’s Sikandar, turned out to be yet another flop from the once popular superstar whose name spelt stupendous success.

Collections increased by only Rs. 3 crore on the second day on which fell Eid. With the total on Monday being only Rs. 24 crore, it was crystal clear that the film had been rejected.

The total for Wednesday was a miserable Rs. 7 crore while for Thursday, it was an even worse Rs. 4 crore. In this way, the total for the first 5-day week was only Rs. 71 crore.

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, contrary to our review, has turned out to be a super-hit. It netted Rs. 14 crore on the first day, which was a very good figure. Collections jumped by more than 40% on Saturday which, therefore, closed at an outstanding Rs. 20 crore. Sunday saw collections increase even more (Rs. 25.50 crore). In this way, the first weekend closed at Rs. 59.50 crore. Collections during the weekdays were equally outstanding. The partial holidays due to Lori (on 13th) and Sankranti (on 14th) gave more boost to the collections. Collections were as follows: Monday – Rs. 13.25 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 15 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 16 crore, Thursday – Rs. 11.25 crore. Interestingly, collections on Monday were only slightly lower than Friday but the totals for Tuesday and Wednesday were more than Friday. By adding Rs. 55.50 crore to the kitty, it took its first week’s total to Rs. 115 crore. It joined the 100-crore club on the sixth day itself! Its performance in Maharashtra (due to the film being about the Marathas) was simply phenomenal. The film is going super-strong in the second week too and is now set for a long run.

Chhapaak could not make much of a splash in 1st week. Collections may have been affected slightly by the call to boycott the film because heroine Deepika Padukone went to the JNU in Delhi three days before the film’s release to express solidarity with the anti-CAA students. It netted only Rs. 4.50 crore on the first day. Collections increased by more than 40% on Saturday but the total of Rs. 6.50 crore was not too impressive. The increase of a mere Rs. 0.50 crore on Sunday underlined the fact that the film had not found much acceptance. No doubt, it was a class-appealing film but the first weekend’s total of only Rs. 18 crore was just about okay even for a class-appealing fare starring Deepika and directed by Meghna Gulzar. Collections during the weekdays were not encouraging despite Lori and Sankranti. It netted Rs. 2.05 crore on Monday, Rs. 2.25 crore on Tuesday, Rs. 2.25 crore on Wednesday, and Rs. 1.35 crore on Thursday. By netting Rs. 7.90 crore in the weekdays, it took its first week’s total to Rs. 25.90 crore.

Darbar (dubbed) did ordinary business in the first week all over.

Good Newwz did decent business in 3rd week too, in spite of new oppositions. It collected Rs. 2 crore on Friday, Rs. 3.15 crore on Saturday, and Rs. 3.40 crore on Sunday, taking the third weekend’s total to Rs. 8.55 crore. Collections in the weekdays were also good: Monday – Rs. 1.15 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.65 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.75 crore, Thursday – Rs. 1.05 crore. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 5.60 crore. Total for 3rd week: Rs. 14.15 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 195.21 crore. Overseas, it has grossed Rs. 71.05 crore!
