MOHENJO DARO dropped badly after the holiday period with 3 crore nett which takes its total to 43.25 crore nett apprx. Below are the daily first five day figures of MOHENJO DARO.
Friday - 8,75,00,000
Saturday - 9,50,00,000
Sunday - 12,00,00,000
Monday - 10,00,00,000
Tuesday - 3,00,00,000
TOTAL - 43,25,00,000
The drop is around 65% from the first day though it a Tuesday rather than a Monday. But even if you account for the extra day its a near 60% drop which is far too much especially for a film which did not open well. The drops for MOHENJO DARO were there across the country, even a Nizam/Andhra which started very well has dropped badly. It managed to do okay business on Sunday and Monday as both were holidays but couldn't hold after the holiday. The first week business of the film will be around 48 crore nett though there is a holiday in Mumbai today. And there will a holiday for Raksha Bandhan tomorrow in some states which may help it a little. The second week will be a struggle for the film as the drop is far too big on the weekdays.
---------------------
RUSTOM had a strong holiday on Tuesday with collections down around 45% from Friday. This was a Tuesday rather than a Monday which means the fair value Monday fall is around 40%. The daily business for the first five days is as follows.
Friday - 14,00,00,000
Saturday - 16,25,00,000
Sunday - 19,50,00,000
Monday - 17,75,00,000
Tuesday - 7,75,00,000 apprx
Total - 75,25,00,000
The first week of the film is going to close at near 90 crore nett which is comfortably the highest first week for an Akshay Kumar starrer. There is a holiday today in Mumbai and the film is faring very well in Mumbai so it should add to the collections. And then there is Raksha Bandhan tomorrow which should also help. It is possible the next two days could stay above the 7 crore nett mark.
The film is holding very strongly at multiplexes and now MOHENJO DARO is basically out of the way and with not much coming on Friday it should really have a big second week though how big will be determined by where the collections land on Friday. RUSTOM has the opportunity to become the highest Akshay Kumar grosser ever and the target is 131 crore nett of ROWDY RATHORE.
