Saaho did incredibly well in its Hindi version during the first week. The movie opened with an impressive collection, progressed nicely on the weekend, and even though it dipped slightly throughout Saturday, there was still no significant drop in collections – ultimately reaching the 5-crores mark right through until Saturday night. On Thursday alone – or just one day after it started – Saaho had collected Rs. 6.75 crores which still ended up being much higher than Wednesday’s contribution of only Rs.6.90 crores – this proves that the second-weekend could potentially be equally as successful too! So far, it seems…

Saaho has collected Rs. 6.90 Crores on Wednesday in Hindi but it has experienced a hefty drop from Tuesday’s Rs. 9.10 Crores, and an even steeper fall from Monday’s Rs. 14.20 Crore collection totals – costing the film dearly for profits going forward due to these declining trends – no doubt due to heavy rains in Maharashtra which have severely hampered earnings potentials overall – barring only an upturn through today which could possibly salvage the sinking ship with great success; at present time the total collections stand at Rs 120 Crore but might go up to over 125 Crore-…

Mission Mangal is steadily winning audiences with Rs. 1.20 crores* coming in on Wednesday alone. Saaho (Hindi) may be losing popularity but Mission Mangal has managed to maintain a healthy number of visitors, which shows that they are passionate about the plotline of the movie despite other new releases such as Chhichhore being released this week. And if Friday’s audience count remains at over Rs. 1 crore*, then it would be a positive outcome for all involved considering Mission Mangal will have earned around Rs. 192 crores* so far in its 3rd week and can expect the 4th week to…

Chhichhore releases on Friday, and its stage and set-up are of a caliber that encourage word-of-mouth advertising. This strategy would work well commercially because the film is critically acclaimed– receiving positive reviews before its release even begins. When we then factor in the opinion of audiences, the public’s reaction will dictate whether or not Chhichhore succeeds, so we’ll just have to wait until Saturday morning to see how things turn out. As for the Friday numbers, an opening in Rs. 5-6 crores range is expected given this film has three big stars including Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor, plus…

Earlier today, Indian cinema’s greatest hope for the future arrived in theaters across North America: Saaho starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor. While it opened internationally on Wednesday- one day earlier than its anticipated debut in India – posters still proclaimed Coming Soon while trailers were often muted or played out of order with local content. One might expect any film to perform better outside its home country due to unfamiliarity but when it comes to large Bollywood movies, do we make assumptions based solely off small sample sizes? Australia box office 1,618 USD [Rs. 1.15 lacs] from 19 screens U.K…

It is back to the stressful 90s for Mission Mangal. While it may have reached Rs. 100 Crore Club within a matter of days and therefore never needed to worry about being successful from that point onward, there would be additional pressure on everyone associated with the film now that it has already crossed over Rs. 190 crores mark. On Tuesday, the film managed an additional 1.5 Crore*, which is a decent hold compared to Friday’s 2.2 Crores*. And so far, the film has collected approximitely Rs 191 crores* after collecting 1.5 crore today**.* Nowadays many films cross into the…
