Chehre fared very poorly in 1st week everywhere. The ultra-class film failed to draw the audiences to the cinemas. It managed a first week of only Rs. 3 crore.
Bell Bottom did fairly well on the second week’s Sunday. In some circuits like Gujarat, it also did fairly well on Monday/Tuesday due to Janmashtami holiday. But in most other circuits, there was no noticeable jump in collections on Janmashtami. Collections during the weekdays were again dull. It netted Rs. 8.50 crore in the second week, taking its grand total for two weeks to Rs. 28 crore.
Chal Mera Putt 2 (Punjabi) swept the box-office in East Punjab in the first week. It netted Rs. 90 lakh on the first day. Collections increased by 15% on Saturday which, therefore, closed at Rs. 1.04 crore. Collections shot up further on Sunday, taking the third day’s total to Rs. 1.40 crore. The weekend’s grand total was an extraordinary Rs. 3.34 crore. In addition, the film collected around Rs. 40 lakh from the rest of India, taking the first weekend’s all-India total to Rs. 3.74 crore. Collections of East Punjab during the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 1.02 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.66 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.61 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.55 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 2.84 crore. The total for the weekdays from the rest of India was Rs. 24 lakh. In other words, the total for the weekdays from all-India was Rs. 3.08 crore. Grand all-India total for 1st week: a phenomenal Rs. 6.82 crore! The film is a blockbuster despite the restrictions on the cinema capacities and show timings!! It must be mentioned here that the film had earlier released in March 2020 but had to be discontinued after 3-4 days only, because of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Even then, it had recorded exceptional collections.
Puaada did okay in the third week, especially the weekend. It collected Rs. 45 lakh during the third weekend, and another Rs. 30 lakh during the weekdays. By netting Rs. 75 lakh in the third week, the film took its 3-week grand total to Rs. 6.41 crore.
