HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY did well in its first as it grossed around 68 crore nett. The weekend was not quite up to the mark due to the lackluster opening but the film trended very well in the weekdays to come out with a good first week.

The second week should hold well and should be the highest second week of the year beating the figures of 2 STATES and JAI HO which were 25 crore nett approx and  21.50 crore nett approx respectively.

The third week should see the film cross 100 crore nett which is not really a big deal today for big star films like HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY. But as it did not open too well then the 100 crore mark becomes a bigger achievement than it would otherwise. In one or two circuits the film may well go on and be the highest Akshay Kumar grossing film ever. HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY has done good or at least decent business in all circuits across India in its first week.
-------------------------
FILMISTAAN grossed 4.50 crore nett approx in week one. The collections were steady on the weekdays but were very low. This is the norm as low collecting films tend to remain steady but as occupancies are so low they are not able to hold shows going into week two.

The second week is always crucial for these type of films but if the weekdays don't show a good upward trend after such a low start then the second week does not hold much hope. A noticeable drop in week two is inevitable.

The film may finish with business in the 6-7 crore nett range but that is lower than films like HAWAA HAWAAI and CITYLIGHTS which were aimed a similar audience. The plus for FILMISTAAN is that it has lower costs than those films but a 3-3.25 crore lifetime distributor share does not really take it anywhere.

HEROPANTI, meanwhile, grossed around 2 crore nett in its third week and has hit the 50 crore nett mark in three weeks. HIT
