The initial of JUGJUGG JEEYO yesterday (June 24) sent shock waves in the trade. For a film produced by Karan Johar and starring two heroes and two leading ladies, the opening was rather dull. Of course, collections picked up as the day progressed but the morning and noon shows were pathetic at many places. The first day closed at around Rs. 8.50 crore.

Nikamma bombed all over India in the first week. Its collections were miserable throughout the week.

Ittu Si Baat collections were so miserable in the first week that it is best forgotten. It’s a pity that its hit music went unnoticed.

Janhit Mein Jaari performed terribly in its second week too. The second weekend’s first day (Friday) closed at just Rs. 11 lakh. Collections on Saturday and Sunday were hardly any better with totals of Rs. 19 lakh and Rs. 21 lakh respectively. After a second weekend total of Rs. 51 lakh, collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 8 lakh, Tuesday – Rs. 7 lakh, Wednesday – Rs. 7 lakh, Thursday – Rs. 6 lakh. Hence the total for the weekdays was a paltry Rs. 28 lakh. In this way, the second week’s total was a poor Rs. 79 lakh. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 4.17 crore.

Jurassic World: Dominion (dubbed and original English versions) did well in the second weekend. It started the weekend with a take of Rs. 1.87 crore on Friday. Collections increased to Rs. 3.80 crore on Saturday, and further to Rs. 4.66 crore on Sunday. In this way, the second weekend closed at Rs. 10.33 crore. Collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 1.20 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.20 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.99 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.95 crore.

Medium Spicy (Marathi) could not do even average business in 1st week in Maharashtra.

Aathava Rang Premacha (Marathi) was a non-starter in the first week in Maharashtra.

Bhirkit (Marathi) fared poorly in 1st week all over Maharashtra.

Yere Yere Pausa (Marathi) could not do anything substantive in the first week in Maharashtra.

Sarsenapati Hambirrao (Marathi) managed fairly decent collections in Maharashtra in its 4th week too.

Naadi Dosh (Gujarati) did extraordinary in the first week all over Gujarat. It was off to a flying start with a take of Rs. 0.60 crore on the first day. Collections jumped more than 50% on the second day which, therefore, closed at Rs. 0.96 crore. The total for Sunday was a phenomenal Rs. 1.46 crore. After a weekend total of Rs. 3.02 crore, collections for the weekdays were also brilliant: Monday – Rs. 0.58 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.62 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.58 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.53 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was a fantastic Rs. 2.31 crore. Total for 1st week: Rs. 5.33 crore! Its second week has also started excellently.

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.
