MERI PYAARI BINDU had a poor first week as it grossed 9.25 crore nett. The film started poorly and that was it as it could not pick up much on Saturday. This Rom-Com genre is a struggle today and can probably only survive with the top youth stars of the day and super hit music and none of this was in MERI PYAARI BINDU.

It has limited shows in its second week with metro multiplexes giving it a show or two and this may take the lifetime business to around 10 crore nett. The film had SARKAR 3 for competition and had to contend with BAAHUBALI 2 and although that would have affected a little, it is not the reason for its failure.

SARKAR 3 fared very poorly as it also grossed 9.25 crore nett over its first week. The film was right off from day one as its collections were not much better than MERI PYAARI BINDU despite having double the screens. The cinema was passe and that has reflected in the collections and lifetime could be less than MERI PYAARI BINDU.

The Punjabi film LAHORIYE has emerged a HIT with first week collections of 7.25 crore nett plus across India. The lifetime collections of this film will beat both MERI PYAARI BINDU and SARKAR despite being released on just 225 odd screens.
