Box Office India Trade Network

BABY did below average business of 53 crore nett in week one and even this below average business came mainly as two circuits had a fair performance, Mumbai and Mysore being okay but the rest of the country did not perform.

The mass circuits like Rajasthan and CI were dull, for an Akshay Kumar starrer. In fact, they can be called a disaster as collections were in the range of smaller films like RAGINI MMS 2, YAARIYAN and MARY KOM. Mumbai circuit and Mysore had fair figures of 18.50 crore nett and 3.50 crore nett approx.

In Mysore the collections are the highest week one collections for an Akshay Kumar starrer in week one but when its a big film you don't want Mysore leading as it behaves differently most of the time from the more important higher contributing areas. North India where the action/thrillers especially the ones for multiplexes do well has not performed at all.
---------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI did poor business in week one of around 13 crore nett. The film was a little better in Delhi and East Punjab but even these circuits were poor. The other major collecting area Mumbai did not perform at all.

A similar film like KHOOBSURAT released last September was not much better in week one as it grossed 16 crore nett but that film had a better hold and went on to do lifetime business of 25.25 crore nett apprx. Here with DOLLY KI DOLI, a 20 crore nett final total looks impossible as occupancies were very low after the four day holiday weekend.
