BOMBAY VELVET grossed a disastrous 5.75 crore nett on day one. It can't really be put into words how bad the collections are. It's hard to describe how good a 25 crore day one is for KICK pre Eid and here its hard to describe how bad 5.25-5.50 crore nett is with 2500 plus screens and a huge cost.

The story was same all over barring Mysore which at least had some sort of collections. The film suffers huge losses, in terms of the amount lost it will be the highest ever. In terms of percentage of the investment loss it will be 75%.

The film had lower collections than last week's Piku in some circuits. Even a big curcuit like Mumbai had similar collections of around 1.80 crore nett.

The year saw a mega disaster earlier in BROKEN HORSES which had practically zero collections with a fair budget. Here the collections are not exactly zero but the budget is big. Both films are by directors who have a history of disasters but this year they both have delivered the sort of disasters that make their other flops look reasonable.
