Pagalpanti met its downfall at the box office. Its premiere numbers were weak and though they slightly grew over the weekend, that was not sufficient enough to ensure stability in subsequent weekdays. The trends of Monday manifested this when collections decreased by half – Rs. 2.5 crores in comparison with Friday’s figures of Rs. 5 crores – ultimately making it a no-go for Anees Bazmee’s venture.
Although the total earnings of the multi-starrer currently stand at Rs. 22 crores, it’s significantly low considering that it was made with a substantial budget. The expected earnings for this movie should have been obtained in its first two days and the results, therefore, have not met expectations.
It is apparent that the audiences were not really interested to check out the film after the promo didn’t make much of an impact. Even though there was another promo of the film released as well, the damage was done already and there was no revival in fortunes. The film isn’t bad but in the times when the relevance of a promo is bigger than ever before, Pagalpanti has unfortunately taken a downward route.
