The Mikhil Musale-directed movie, Made In China, had a slow start to its theatrical run in its opening week with a collection of Rs. 10.50 crores. Although the film saw a bit of an upturn following Diwali celebrations, it began to slide downwards once again. The film’s ability to maintain relevance relied on it remaining near Monday’s collections of Rs. 3 crores in the subsequent days. Rajkummar Rai and Mouni Roy’s latest feature was more successful than Saand Ki Aankh at the box office over its opening weekend, though the margin between the two began to lessen in subsequent days.…
During its inaugural week, Saand Ki Aankh made a total collection of Rs. 11.68 crores – quite the accomplishment considering its meagre opening day box office intake of Rs. 0.48 crores. Credit must be given to director Tushar Hiranandani for facilitating such an impressive transformation. This movie’s performance at the box office matches expectations considering its genre, the clash with Housefull 4 and Made In China, and War being a competing film. This bold release strategy was a risk but producers likely hoped the positive outcome post-Diwali would lead to better weekdays results; however, that did not happen as ticket…
The much-awaited Housefull 4, helmed by Farhad Samji and featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead, has made its way to the theatres. With such an immense build up surrounding it, one can only wonder if this will reflect in the box office figures. On Friday, we conducted an examination of the overseas gross earnings of Housefull 4 in its 8th day of theatrical release. Australia box office 31,007 USD [Rs. 21.92 lacs] from 38 screens New Zealand box office 24,338 USD [Rs. 17.20 lacs] from 17 screens U.K box office 37,228 USD [Rs. 26.32 lacs] from 58 screens U.S.A box…
This column predicted that Ujda Chaman would begin at Rs. 2-3 crores and that is exactly what occurred, bringing in a satisfactory Rs. 2.35 crores start for the film considering its modest budget. It has secured a platform for itself with such an initial performance, which was to be expected since this is only a concept movie of small scale. Despite having to compete with the hit film Housefull 4, Ujda Chaman has fortunately not been neglected. Akshay Kumar’s star power is significantly larger than its competitor’s, but Ujda Chaman still remains a prominent figure in box office collections. Going…
Saand Ki Aankh performed respectably on its second Friday, bringing in Rs. 1.28 crores. Compared to Thursday’s collections of Rs. 1.54 crores, there was not a large drop-off and this stability is encouraging for a strong second week total. Even more noteworthy is the growth when compared to the opening day figures of Rs 0.48 crores; these are more than double which speaks to positive momentum going forward, although one must consider that the initial numbers were too low to begin with. The film has already amassed Rs. 12.96 crores and a substantial jump in its numbers is anticipated today.…
After long-awaited anticipation, Farhad Samji’s Housefull 4 finally hit the theaters. Starring Akshay Kumar as the lead in an all-star cast, the movie had been highly discussed and gained much attention leading up to its release. The million dollar question now is whether or not the intense promotions will positively influence box office success. For this box office assessment, we analyze the ticket sales of Housefull 4 abroad for its ninth day (Saturday). Australia box office 41,263 USD [Rs. 29.09 lacs] from 38 screens New Zealand box office 36,536 USD [Rs. 25.76 lacs] from 17 screens U.K box office 56,232…
Ujda Chaman had a profitable Saturday, amassing Rs. 3.30 crores in box office revenue – a noteworthy accomplishment for such a modestly budgeted film. Friday’s figures of Rs. 2.35 crores could have been doubled to truly signify an encouraging start, yet there is still Sunday on which to capitalize; whether or not Ujda Chaman shows further growth remains to be seen. Usually, with this kind of momentum, the Sunday figures are not always on par. Yet, if the movie comes close to earning Rs. 4 crores on its last day of release, it would still be an acceptable result for…
This particular genre of film typically yields relatively low collections; Saand Ki Aankh experienced a boost on Saturday with 1.89 crores in receipts. In comparison to the prior day’s returns of Rs. 1.28 crores, this increase is sufficient to attract patrons on Sunday as well. Thalapathy Vijay’s latest film, directed by Tushar Hiranandani, has surpassed the 15 crore mark with an overall total of Rs. 14.85 crores. Judging by its current success, it is estimated to make a lifetime earning of Rs. 23-25 crores which would be quite impressive given that Taapsee Pannu’s prior independent movies Mulk and Manmarziyaan earned…
After all the talk and excitement, Housefull 4 has finally arrived in cinemas. The much-anticipated movie, directed by Farhad Samji and starring Akshay Kumar among many other acclaimed actors, has been grabbing attention for quite some time. Yet, one can’t help but ponder whether the intense promotion will be reflected in its box office revenue. In this box office report we take a look at the box office collections of Housefull 4 in the overseas markets on Day 10 (Sunday). Australia box office 33,794 USD [Rs. 23.92 lacs] from 38 screens New Zealand box office 31,371 USD [Rs. 22.20 lacs]…
Saand Ki Aankh continues to enjoy considerable success at the box office, having collected Rs. 2.32 crores on Sunday alone. Despite the strong showings from Housefull 4 and Ujda Chaman, the film is managing to remain a major player in this weekend’s race. The film has accumulated a sum of Rs. 17.17 crores up until now, and if the collections can remain consistently above 1 crore per weekday, it will be an enormous success for the movie. With a limited number of theaters showing the Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar feature, the second weekend was stronger than the first, possibly…
