Following a hiatus of four years, Aamir Khan would have surely anticipated a better showing at the box office for his much-anticipated drama Laal Singh Chaddha. According to preliminary estimates, Advait Chandan’s film grossed somewhere in the ballpark of Rs. 7.75-8.25 crores on Friday, its second day. Unfortunately, the film fared dismally on the second day running, with the only bright spot being the national multiplex chains. The film performed reasonably well in Delhi NCR and East Punjab circuits. However, it failed to make an impact in the mass circuits. The movie’s attendance in Delhi and some Mumbai cinemas was…
Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, though falling short of the Hindi film industry’s conservative expectations, raked in the vicinity of Rs. 6 to 6.40 crores on Friday, Day 2. The movie exhibited a decline of 25% from the collections of the first day, when compared to the approximately 33% decline registered by Laal Singh Chaddha. Still, the prospects for Day 3 and 4 seem bright, as the family theme of the film could generate stable figures on Saturday and Sunday. Day 2 saw average footfalls overall in all mass centers, with a surge in attendance noticed in the later shows. In…

As expected, both Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan saw an expected drop in collections on Friday. Since this was a regular day after the partial holiday of Rakshabandhan on Thursday, footfalls were bound to be reduced. Of course, one expected that the number will drop by around 20% since as it is Thursday collections for both the movies were below expectations. However, the drops were more, though for Raksha Bandhan it was lesser than Laal Singh Chaddha. It may begin to show a notable shift in its performance from Sunday, since the response for Raksha Bandhan appears to be…

Industry insiders are stunned by the lackluster first day box office takings of Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan and Raksha Bandhan with Akshay Kumar. We posed the question to industry experts and enquired about what could be the cause of this scenario. Girish Johar, a notable film producer and business analyst, sighed deeply in disappointment over the box office start. Two high profile actors and movies, alongside promotional efforts across the nation and a successful music response, meant all of the boxes were ticked; but if audiences did not turn up, he felt that it was an indication that…
The Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha has seen a significant jump in collections on Saturday, with estimates ranging from Rs. 9.20 to 10 crores for the day. The cumulative three-day opening weekend box-office figure thus stands at Rs. 28.75 crores, although the figures are relatively low, this surge provides a welcome glimmer of hope in what has been a dismal box-office journey for the movie. Laal Singh Chaddha managed to perform a bit better than anticipated on its third day, despite the general negative opinion on Saturday. This could be due to the fact that it is a multiplex…
Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan has not had an impressive increase in its collection figures on Saturday, according to the preliminary estimates, with an earning of around Rs. 6.75 to 7.25 crores, leading to a cumulative sum of Rs. 21.60 crores for the first three days. These numbers are unsatisfactory, particularly for a film that had its launch during a holiday period. However, it does signify a marginal rise of 8 percent from the prior day. Raksha Bandhan has found itself in a difficult position, in comparison to its rival, and now all its hope lies in the Sunday and Monday…

With this analysis of the box office, we analyze the overseas revenue of Raksha Bandhan…
