DAAWAT-E-ISHQ grossed 20.50 crore nett in week one. The film had could not start well and showed a decent up trend over the weekend and then had normal weekday trending when it should have done better. On Monday, the collections fell 45% but when the weekend is low you really need to get near the Friday number.
The best business has come in Delhi/UP where the film has grossed around 5 crore nett. Mumbai circuit has let down the film which is the case with KHOOBSURAT as well. Despite having a Muslim touch to the film it could not gross well in Gujarat and the Mumbai circuit figures for week one were 6.50 crore nett approx.
---------------------
KHOOBSURAT grossed 16 crore nett in week one. The film trended well on weekdays with the daily collections on Monday to Thursday staying around the 1.50 crore nett region for all four days. The problem is that it had a very low weekend total which has held the film back. If this sort of trending was seen along with a better opening weekend, the film would have done well.
Khoobsurat dropped 30% on Monday from Friday but the sort of Friday it had to get the same or better figure as Friday. The film like DAAWAT-E-ISHQ has done best in Delhi/UP with collections around 4.25 crore nett and Mumbai is the under performer with figures of around 4.75 crore nett.
The film has trended well on weekdays and there is no major release this week and so the main competition will be DAAWAT-E-ISHQ which KHOOBSURAT should score over, unlike in the first week. it should be the top film of the week.
---------------------
KHOOBSURAT held well on its eighth day as it showed a 50% drop from day one. The collections will be in between the 1-1.25 crore nett range. On Thusday it recorded similar collections to DAAWAT-E-ISHQ and on Friday it has gone ahead.
The drop from Thursday to Friday was hardly there for KHOOBSURAT and it should show huge growth on Saturday and with the new releases proving to be washouts it can go towards 5 crore nett for the weekend. The film is doing well at premium multiplexes across the country especially the Delhi NCR belt.
The eighth day collections of KHOOBSURAT are similar to the first day collections of all seven new releases combined which were being screened on over 2300 screens compared to the 600 of KHOOBSURAT. DAAWAT-E-ISHQ also grossed more than DESI KATTEY which was the highest collecting new release but the drop was in the 70-75% region for DAAWAT-E-ISHQ.
---------------------
FINDING FANNY grossed 3.50 crore nett approx in week two taking its two week total to 28 crore nett and it will finish at around 29 crore nett.
