Box Office India Trade Network

BOBBY JASOOS could not do well at the box office as it collected around 10.75 crore nett in its first week. The film started slowly and although it picked up on Saturday to the tune of 40% it was not enough as the starting point was too low.

The weekdays also did not perform well with dropping collections and every day was below 1 crore nett. The performance was poor all over - Nizam/Andhra could have been better as the film is set there but that circuit is affected by Ramadan for all films at present. The film will do little business in week two and is a flop.

LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL is a disaster as it grossed around 2.25 crore nett in week one. The film was promoted well for newcomers but will not even cover 25% of its marketing costs from theatrical revenue.
-----------------------------
EK VILLAINS grossed 20.86 crore nett approx in its second week to take its two week business to around 94 crore nett. The second week business is the fourth best of the year after HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY, 2 STATES and JAI HO.

The film did mixed business in week two as some circuits held up pretty well while others fell badly. North India was best as East Punjab showed a 63% and Delhi/UP was similar but Rajasthan was down 75% and it was a similar story in Gujarat and other mass dominated circuits.

The third weekend will decide if it can cross the 100 crore nett mark and also whether it also emerges the biggest hit of the first half of 2014 which at the moment is 2 STATES.
