As predicted, the release of Chhichhore had an excellent weekend and its success will show in Monday morning footfall numbers. The film collected approximately Rs 16.4 crores on Sunday, a huge improvement from Saturday’s collection of Rs 7.3 crores – an enormous achievement for Sajid Nadiadwala Productions who are known for producing high quality films. And while there is some competition among Indian films at the multiplexes between Saaho (Hindi) and Mission Mangal, both films have been seen only sparingly; there is still no trace of foreign cinema anywhere near the popularity of Chhichhore which means that it enjoys unrivalled…

Chhichhore had a successful Monday as Rs. 8.10 crores came in. This is amazing given it even beat the opening Friday of Rs. 7.32 crores! Although this number was also good, the fact that it grew so much instead of dropping off proved just how audiences loved Nitesh Tiwary’s direction. Such trend can only grow stronger on weekdays when ticket rates are less expensive than they are during Fridays– yet here we find ourselves having collected more money while still getting people through the doors! The movie has been confirmed as a blockbuster and looks likely to become a superhit…

Saaho is still doing well in its second week, drawing crowds from the Hindi audience. On Monday alone, it brought in another Rs. 2.6 crores while remaining relatively stable compared to Friday where they brought in Rs. 3.8 crores, bringing their total up to Rs 133 crore and looks like it will maintain its steady pace at around Rs 2 crore per day which will bring them near or above 200 crore soon before the end of the week; after which they can comfortably break past 250 crore – which automatically makes them a success story and an example for…

After releasing on Friday, the movie Chhichhore starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Shradha Kapoor has been doing well at theaters. Critical responses have ranged from average to positive; though audiences seem to be enjoying it. Critics have even said it reminded them of Nitesh Tiwari’s film Dangal which starred Amir Khan earlier this year. Though there was hardly any promotion before the release, those behind the movie are likely very happy with how things are going so far. Considering that generally movies open strongest at first but then fall over time – statistics say otherwise for this one since collections…

The Hindi version of Saaho made a fair amount of money on the second Friday with an additional 3.75 crores*. Though this is still less than Thursday’s collection, it isn’t enough to make people consider quitting just yet because the crowds are too loyal. When you take Wednesday’s opening day collections -24.4 crores*, then you’ll see that the 2nd Day collection accounts for only 3.7 crores*. But when you also factor in that 80.8 crore had been gathered from last weekend alone, then things start making sense again because people who watch movies these days don’t limit themselves to one…

Even if Saaho has not been doing so well in Southern parts of India, the film has been keeping its head afloat in the rest of India. On Saturday the 2nd day, another Rs.5 crores were added to the total earnings – evidencing this through comparison with both days before this (Friday 1st and Saturday 1st). As expected there is an extreme difference between these two days (almost Rs. 20 crores), as Friday had collected Rs.25.20 crores while Saturday only collected Rs.5 crore rupees*.
