BANG BANG (Hindi) dropped badly on its second Friday as it collected around 3-3.25 crore nett. the drop is a huge 85% from last Friday which was the second day of the film. The drop is huge despite no competition from the new releases.

The film will struggle to put up a strong second week total and the film is unlikely to hit the 150 crore nett. The cracks were there in the collections earlier but holidays in various parts of the country made the all India daily collections reasonable. The second weekend of the film is likely to be around the 13 crore nett mark.

The second Friday collections are less than KICK, HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY, 2 STATES, SINGHAM RETURNS and JAI HO. It is the ninth day for BANG BANG as compared to eight for the other films but a 3 crore second Friday is low for a like BANG BANG which has a much bigger budget than the films above. Also, the second Friday is nearly 50% less than what Hrithik Roshan's last film KRRISH 3 grossed on its second Friday.
-----------------------------
The collections of HAIDER came down a lot on its second Friday as it collected in the 1.35-1.45 crore nett region. The fall is around 80% from its first Friday which was the second day of release for the film..

HAIDER had held up well in the first seven days of release but the drop came on day eight and a further drop on day nine. This happened mainly as it only has an audience at premium multiplexes and the audience at other places has not appreciated it. The premium multiplexes of Delhi NCR have held pretty well and now are collecting more than BANG BANG when on day one the film had started at 70% lower than BANG BANG.

HAIDER should collect around 6-6.50 crore nett in its second weekend and lifetime business will find it hard to reach 50 Crore nett, probably falling a crore or two short.
