PIKU held up very well in week two grossing around 22 crore nett which was a similar collection to the new release BOMBAY VELVET as it also grossed that much in week one. The drop from week one is less than 50% which is very good trending. The film should be able to do 75 crore nett and maybe even hit 80 crore nett.

The best performance is in West Bengal where the film should cross 6 crore nett which is excellent and easily beats BABY at 4 crore nett which was the top grosser before PIKU.

Mumbai and Mysore are also very good with Mumbai expected to cross 25 crore nett and Mysore should comfortably cross 6 crore nett. Mass dominated circuits like CP, CI and Bihar have not done well. -----------------------------------------
GABBAR IS BACK is the biggest grosser of 2015 as it has collected 84 crore nett approx in three weeks. The film has done well despite competition from new releases over the last two weeks. BOMBAY VELVET did not provide competition but GABBAR IS BACK lost a lot of screen space due to its release especially in single screens. Its pretty clear that GABBAR IS BACK would have done better in these screens despite being in week three.

The performance in Bihar is very good where it will be amongst the top fifteen grossing films. It will not reach top 25 in any other circuit.
