Bang Bang & HaiderBANG BANG (Hindi) had a good extended eight day first week of around 112.51 crore nett but considering the amount of holidays that were there the collections were not as good as they should be. Also on the weekdays its decent hold was due to holidays but when there are holidays the hold should not be decent but good. At centres where there was no holiday from Tuesday onwards the film did show noticeable drops in collections.

The trend does not look good for week two as it will not get support of holidays. The best case scenario for the film looks around 150 crore nett for lifetime business. It is possible it may fall short of that mark and much will depend on the business in the second weekend.

The film has collected well in multiplexes of big centres but it was the business of multiplexes and single screens in B and C centres which let the film down. The collections across the Hindi belt were not up to the mark. Only Bihar was good but that had holidays for Puja. Gujarat, CP Berar, CI, Rajasthan and UP all had average to above average figures which is not good for a film of this scale.
-------------------
HAIDER grossed a decent 35 crore nett in its extended eight day first week and held up fairly well over the eight days but the problem for the film is its very niche and the collections are coming mainly from the premium multiplexes and so there is a limit to where the film can go.

The film has done its best business in the Delhi NCR belt with the Delhi/UP and East Punjab circuits recording decent figures, Mysore was also fair while West Bengal was helped by holidays for Puja. Mumbai circuit was the disappointment as Mumbai city and Pune should have done better. The mass circuits were dull.

HAIDER will have a decent hold in week two and should have lifetime business of around 50 crore nett which is an average result.
