FREAKY ALI showed reasonable growth on Saturday of around 40-45% though collections are on the lower side. The domestic theatrical rights have been sold for 8 crore. So its not too bad though if the collections were 20-25% higher, it would be actually be looking to pull through as far as that 8 crore recovery is concerned. The bigger problem is the cost of the film which will either need good returns from other sources like Overseas, television and digital or huge overflow to come from domestic above the 8 crore price which is unlikely. The first two day collections of FREAKY ALI are as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,50,00,000
TOTAL - 4,25,00,000
The reports of the film are so so but it has a character artiste as the main lead and that reflects in collections. But even here if you compare the openings of Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrers then FREAKY ALI is on top.
Freaky Ali Day One - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Raman Raghav 2.0 Day One - 99,00,000
Manjhi - The Mountain Man Day One - 1,34,00,00,000.
FREAKY ALI may have an outside chance to recover the price of its domestic rights but overall recovery is a huge task.
-----------------------------
FREAKY ALI grossed 7.25 crore nett in its first weekend which is a low total. The film managed some decent growth on Saturday but Sunday could not do too much. The collections are better than other Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrers like MANJHI - THE MOUNTAIN MAN (6.17 crore) and RAMAN RAGHAV 2.0 (3.84 crore). Its even probably better than TE3N comparatively as that featured Amitabh Bachchan also but only managed 11.13 nett. The problem is when the audience sees a character artiste as the main lead it is hard to get them to the theatres even if the content is strong. Not that its the case here but the film is probably a little better than the figures suggest. The first weekend collections of FREAKY ALI are as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,50,00,000
Sunday - 3,00,00,000
TOTAL - 7,25,00,000
There is a holiday on Monday for Bakri Eid which will help on Monday but its not a full national holiday so its likely the collections will jump in parts of some circuits.
