None of the new releases this week opened to even average houses. In fact, the opening of all the new films was dismal.

The Kerala Story was off to a flying start and scored fabulously all through the first week. In spite of a ban in West Bengal and an unofficial ban in Tamil Nadu, it netted Rs. over 75 crore in 1st week. It started with a take of Rs. 7.50 crore on the first day. Following extraordinary word of mouth, collections jumped to Rs. 10.01 crore on Saturday. The rise in collections on Sunday was phenomenal. The day closed at Rs. 15.43 crore. Collections remained supremely high during the weekdays too. After a first weekend total of Rs. 32.94 crore, collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 9.50 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 10.37 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 11.35 crore, Thursday – Rs. 11.55 crore. In other words, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 42.77 crore, far more than the weekend’s total! In this way, the first week closed at Rs. 75.71 crore. The film will join the Rs. 100-crore club in the second weekend itself. By the end of the third weekend, it is expected to cross the Rs. 150-crore mark!

Mother Teresa & Me (English) and its dubbed Hindi version, Main Aur Mother Teresa (which was released only in a couple of cinemas) performed miserably in 1st week.

THE KERALA STORY was off to a truly fine start yesterday (5th May). Considering that it has no saleable names in its cast, the first day’s collections (final figure not yet known) were extremely impressive. The explosive subject and the bold trailer did the trick. The non-star cast film is set to do great business if the public reports are anything to go by.

The Song Of Scorpions faced rejection in the first week.

Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 4.77 crore. Total for 1st week: Rs. 14.24 crore.

Sisu (dubbed and the original English versions) could not do much in its first week in spite of positive word of mouth. Lack of promotion was the main reason for the poor initial. It netted Rs. 19 lakh on the first day. Collections went up to Rs. 30 lakh on Saturday, and further to Rs. 40 lakh on Sunday. After a weekend of Rs. 89 lakh, collections for the weekdays were: Monday (May 1 holiday) – Rs. 28 lakh, Tuesday – Rs. 14 lakh, Wednesday – Rs. 13 lakh, Thursday Rs. 12 lakh. Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 67 lakh. In this way, the film collected Rs. 1.56 crore in the first week.

Shubh Yatra (Gujarati) has done very well in the first week in Gujarat and Saurashtra.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, in the absence of strong or even average content, had to rely on the Eid festival to draw the audience to the cinemas. The Eid holiday on Saturday (April 22) and two days thereafter saw footfalls in cinemas in reasonably large numbers but they dwindled thereafter. The Salman starrer opened at Rs. 11.50 crore on Friday. Collections did not grow phenomenally to the 40- or even 30-crore bracket on Saturday but, nevertheless, picked up due to Eid. The second day closed at Rs. 22.50 crore. Collections on Sunday were slightly lower at Rs. 21.50 crore, conclusively proving that the public verdict for the film was not encouraging. The Basi Eid festivities saw Monday’s collections at Rs. 8.10 crore after a weekend total of Rs. 55.50 crore. Collections on the balance three days of the week were Rs. 5.75 crore on Tuesday, Rs. 4.25 crore on Wednesday, and Rs. 3.50 crore on Thursday. The total for the weekdays (including a festive Monday) was, therefore, Rs. 21.60 crore. Hence the first week closed at only Rs. 77.10 crore.

Chengiz (dubbed) proved a debacle in 1st week.

The Pope’s Exorcist (dubbed and the original English versions) collected Rs. 0.95 crore in the third weekend, and another Rs. 0.39 crore during the weekdays. In this way, the total for 3rd week was Rs. 1.34 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 12.79 crore.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (dubbed and the original English versions) collected Rs. 0.57 crore in its fifth weekend. The total for the weekdays of 5th week was Rs. 0.34 crore. Therefore, it netted Rs. 0.91 crore in 5th week. Grand total for 5 weeks: Rs. 48.53 crore.

Even considering that it was the last day of Ramzan, the dull first day’s collections of this week’s new release, KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN, sent shock waves in the industry. The Salman starrer likely collected only Rs. 12 crore on the opening day. Collections today (22nd April) have shown a huge spike owing to Eid holiday and they are expected to be phenomenal tomorrow too because of the festival mood.

Shaakuntalam (dubbed) proved a debacle in 1st week all over. Neither the 3D effects nor the grand sets could attract the public to the cinemas. The first day closed at Rs. 32 lakh only. Collections on Saturday reduced because of poor public reports. The day closed at Rs. 29 lakh. The Sunday total was Rs. 32 lakh. After a weekend total of Rs. 93 lakh, the already dull collections slumped further as follows: Monday – Rs. 10 lakh, Tuesday – Rs. 9 lakh, Wednesday – Rs. 8 lakh, Thursday – Rs. 7 lakh. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 35 lakh. Therefore, the first week closed at just Rs. 1.28 crore.

Collections dropped markedly during the weekdays: Monday – Rs. 0.52 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.51 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.46 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.47 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 1.96 crore. Therefore, the film managed to net Rs. 5.93 crore in its first week.

Therefore, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 1.23 crore. In this way, the total for the first week (including paid previews of the English version on Thursday) was Rs. 5.07 crore.

The total for the weekdays was, therefore, Rs. 14.30 crore. In this way, the film netted Rs. 53.70 crore in its first week of 8 days.

All the five releases of this week — MRS. CHATTERJEE VS NORWAY, ZWIGATO, SHUBH NIKAH, KABZAA (dubbed) and SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS (dubbed) — opened poorly yesterday/on Thursday.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar did well in the first week but not well enough to justify its heavy cost and its star cast. Although the film will cross the average mark, its heavy cost (due to the Coronavirus lockdowns) and its mixed public reports will be the main cause for its limited profits. The film has been loved by one section of the audience, but another section did not find the first half interesting while liking the second half. The film also suffered quite a lot initially because of its release on a ‘fractured’ holiday. It opened on 8th on account of the Holi festival but, unfortunately for the film, the festival of colours was celebrated in some states the previous day (7th), because of which there was no holiday on the release day in such states. An odd-day release without a holiday can prove to be detrimental to the box-office interests of a film, and that’s what happened to TJMM. It netted Rs. 14.25 crore on the first day (partial holiday on account of Holi). Collections reduced to Rs. 9.50 crore on the second day, and further to Rs. 9.25 crore on the third day. Collections showed a surge on Saturday (Rs. 14.50 crore) and again on Sunday (Rs. 15.75 crore). In this way, the film’s first 5-day weekend closed at Rs. 63.25 crore. Collections on the weekdays were on the lower side: Monday – Rs. 5.50 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 5.20 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 4.85 crore, Thursday – Rs. 4.02 crore. With the total for the weekdays being Rs. 19.57 crore, the first week closed at Rs. 82.82 crore. The second weekend started with a take of Rs. 3.50 crore on Friday.

TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR, which opened on Wednesday (8th March) to take advantage of the Holi holiday, ended up suffering too because some states observed the holiday a day earlier, on 7th. Resultantly, collections in those states on the opening day (8th) were below the mark as it wasn’t a holiday on the day of release. Collections on the second day, as expected, dropped — by 33%. The film fared well in multiplexes but was not up to the mark in single-screen cinemas. The first day’s all-India total, in spite of the ‘fractured’ holiday, was an impressive Rs. 14.25 crore. The net collection figure on Thursday was Rs. 9.50 crore. Friday closed at Rs. 9.25 crore. Collections today (Saturday) have shown a noteworthy jump.

Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 41.20 crore.

Pathaan did quite well in its sixth week too. It netted Rs. 5.82 crore (Hindi Rs. 5.65 crore; dubbed Rs. 0.17 crore) in the sixth weekend, and another Rs. 3.30 crore (Hindi Rs. 3.20 crore; dubbed Rs. 0.10 crore) during the weekdays. Its collections got a boost due to the Holi holiday on 7th/8th March. In this way, the total for the sixth week was Rs. 9.12 crore (Hindi Rs. 8.85 crore; dubbed Rs. 0.27 crore). Grand total for 6 weeks: 538.01 crore (Hindi Rs. 519.50 crore; dubbed Rs. 18.51 crore).
