NEERJA has done very well in its first week grossing around 34.50 crore nett. The film picked up pace fast on day one and has maintained very well over the weekdays as far as business in metros are concerned. The film was made entertainment tax free in Maharashtra on the seventh day and this helped on day seven collections in Mumbai city and Pune. Most other cities in Maharashtra are not good and so benefit will be minimal there. Other states could follow but it will be Delhi, Punjab and Karnataka which can give really give a big boost if they go tax free.

The best business for the film has come in Delhi city which has clocked a huge 4.50 crore nett and this is the city not including the rest of the circuit.

The lifetime business of the film will cross 50 crore nett and could even be by the end of week two. Films like KAHAANI and QUEEN grossed 57 crore nett and 61 crore nett respectively and NEERJA should have a similar finish and possibly more depending how the next few weeks play out.
-------------------------
NEERJA held on well on its eight day easily outpacing the new releases. The film grossed around 2.50-2.75 crore nett on day eight which is a small drop from Thursday. This drop mainly came due to the 20% loss of shows at major multiplexes from Thursday.

Some of this loss was compensated by weekend ticket rates and a little by tax free status in a few states. The film has tax free status in a few states but only Maharashtra is implemented as yet. The business of the film of the film is 37.50 crore nett plus in eight days.

The weekend should go to 12 crore nett which will mean it will reach 50 crore nett before the end of the week. The drop from day one is around 40-45%. The weak new releases have also aided the film a lot and looks set to take advantage of the weak period of 3-4 weeks.
