Fast & Furious 9: The Fast Saga (English and dubbed in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu) did well in the first week. The Hindi dubbed version scored better in the 8-day week but the original English version was not upto the mark mainly because the pirated version of the original film was available in India since a few weeks. Even otherwise, the film was not liked as much as the earlier films in the franchise. The first week’s total for all the versions was approximately Rs. 12 crore.
Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings (English and dubbed versions) did very well in the first week. It netted Rs. 2.97 crore on the first day. Collections on Saturday and Sunday increased to Rs. 3.33 crore and Rs. 4.31 crore respectively, giving a first weekend figure of Rs. 10.61 crore. Collections on the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 1.53 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 1.22 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 1.06 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.86 crore. In this way, the total for the four weekdays was Rs. 4.67 crore. Grand total for week 1: Rs. 15.28 crore. Considering that cinemas in Maharashtra are still closed and also considering that there are restrictions on capacities and number of shows in other states due to the Coronavirus lockdown, the figure of Rs. 15.28 crore in the first week is very promising. The original English version of the film has done better than the original English version of F9.
Bell Bottom could manage to net only about Rs. 4 crore in the third week. Grand total for 3 weeks: Rs. 32 crore.
Chal Mera Putt 2 (Punjabi) continued its victory march in the second week too. In East Punjab circuit, it netted Rs. 44.93 lakh on the first day. Collections increased by 50% on Saturday which, therefore, closed at Rs. 66.55 lakh. Sunday saw a huge jump so that the total figure for the day was more than double that of Friday. With a total of Rs. 95.86 lakh on Sunday, the second weekend collected Rs. 2.07 crore. Collections on the weekdays: Monday – Rs. 40.51 lakh, Tuesday – Rs. 34.72 lakh, Wednesday – Rs. 29.68 lakh, Thursday – Rs. 26.76 lakh. Hence the film netted Rs. 1.32 crore. The total for the entire second week was, therefore Rs. 3.39 crore. The collections in the second week from the rest of India was Rs. 20 lakh. In other words, the all-India total for week 2 was Rs. 3.59 crore. Grand total for 2 weeks: Rs. 10.41 crore.
