Deepika Padukone
Box Office India Trade Network

PIKU did well it its third weekend grossing around 6.50 crore nett and taking its business to 69 crore nett approx. The film maintained well despite TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS scoring very at the box office. The collections are the highest for the third weekend for the year. They are almost similar to the the third week of BABY which had the previous highest third weekend.

The film looks on course for an 80 crore nett total and maybe even a chance to go past the 81 crore nett plus of BABY though has little chance of beating highest grosser of this year so far - GABBAR IS BACK.

The third week collections of the film should be able to cross 10 crore nett which would mean business of around 73 crore nett in three weeks. The business in Mumbai will hit 25 crore nett at the end of week three.

BOMBAY VELVET meanwhile continued its disastrous run on a limited number of screens in second weekend grossing around 50-60 lakhs nett.
