PIKU did well in its first week grossing around 40 crore nett. The film had a poor start but gained momentum from Saturday and has maintained very well in the metros. The other major cities have also maintained well but the collections here are on the lower side. Cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore are set to give the best collections of the year.

The performance of these of these cities means that Mumbai, West Bengal and Mysore are the best performers while Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI and Bihar have low numbers although have held very well since on Monday

The film should remain strong in the big cities over the next couple of weeks which should take it to a good lifetime total.
-----------------------
GABBAR IS BACK held up well in week two grossing around 18.75 crore nett taking its two week total to 79 crore nett. The drop from the first week was around 67% which is a decent trend for a mass film like GABBAR IS BACK.

The film did have competition at metro multiplexes from PIKU but at many centres its second week collections were better than PIKU, in fact better than both the new releases (PIKU and KUCH KUCH LOCHA HAI) put together. It is the highest grossing film of 2015 in many circuits in two weeks and should become the highest grossing film Hindi film of 2015 by the end of its run.

The film will cross 3 crore nett in Bihar which is more than double the business of any other releases of 2015.
