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.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (animation, dubbed and the original English versions) netted Rs. 1.31 crore in its third weekend, and another Rs. 0.53 crore during the weekdays. Therefore, the total for the third week was Rs. 1.84 crore. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 10.33 crore.

Bholaa netted Rs. 1.20 crore in its fourth weekend, and Rs. 0.56 crore during the weekdays. In other words, it collected Rs. 1.76 crore in 4th week. Grand total for 4 weeks: Rs. 78.86 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.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge rewrote box-office history in the first week with absolutely earth-shattering collections. The Eid and post-Eid holidays gave a boost to collections. Of course, the film itself was so loved by the audience that it seemed destined to become the biggest blockbuster ever in the history of Hindi cinema. It is all set to displace Dhurandhar as the highest-grossing film. After a historic start on Wednesday (March 18) in the paid preview shows, collections on Thursday (March 19) were beyond phenomenal. The Dhurandhar sequel has shattered every imaginable box-office record — that too, by leaps and bounds. After netting a record Rs. 50 crore on Wednesday (evening and night shows only), the film collected Rs. 90 crore on Thursday, which was a record-breaking figure for the first day. Collections on Friday were again a record-creating Rs. 81 crore. The film hit the ball out of the park on Saturday and Sunday with totals of Rs. 109 crore and Rs. 113 crore respectively. Needless to add, the weekend total of Rs. 443 crore was a record which may take years to break. Collections for the weekdays were also extraordinary: Monday – Rs. 59 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 53 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 45 crore, Thursday – Rs. 49 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 206 crore. In this way, the first week closed at a historic Rs. 649 crore. The dubbed South language versions netted approximately Rs. 41 crore. Hence the combined total for India for the original Hindi as well as the South language dubbed versions was Rs. 690 crore. The success was as huge abroad too. In the UK, with gross collections of  £2.461 million, it outdid in just 6 days the lifetime collections of such blockbusters in the UK as Chennai Express (£2.181 million), Padmaavat (£2.189 million), Dilwale (£2.350 million), Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (£2.374 million), PK (£2.386 million) and Animal (£2.405 million). For the 8-day week, the total gross for Overseas circuit is a whopping Rs. 275 crore!! This is the fastest film to touch Rs. 275 crore Overseas. In North America, it is on the cusp of becoming the highest-grossing Indian film ever with its $18 million-plus total so far. It has already become the fifth-highest grossing film in the UK with its first week’s total gross of £2.75 million in the first week. It has even surpassed the UK businesses of Dhoom 3, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, My Name Is Khan, Dangal and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…. It has written box-office history in Germany (US$800,000) and Singapore (US$500,000) in the first week itself. In a tiny market like Finland, where Indian films usually gross €4,000 to 5,000, this film has grossed €36,000 in the first week!

Hoppers (animation; dubbed and the original English versions) netted Rs. 1.75 crore in the third week. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 9 crore.
