RAABTA had a very poor first day of 4.75 crore nett which hardly gives it a chance. It will need a miracle on Saturday and grow 60-70% to have a chance which is a very unlikely scenario. Even then the weekend will be low as there is the India vs South Africa cricket match on Sunday which will hit collections hard. The film had nothing going for it though the makers may have pinned hope on the hero because he was in M S DHONI - THE UNTOLD STORY which opened to 20 crore nett but that had nothing to do with the hero which the opening of this film basically confirms. That film had opened due to the popularity of cricketer M S Dhoni and a lot of bulk ticket sales by various brands of the cricketer. Still despite bad promos not being to collect even 5 crore nett is a huge downer for the film.

If RAABTA was bad then the other release BEHEN HOGI TERI was a total washout collecting 25-30 lakhs nett apprx on day one. The film was supposed to be a comedy but the collections are a tragedy. Both these Hindi films got a helping hand from the censors as they handed THE MUMMY an Adult certificate but neither held any appeal to benefit. India must be the only country in the world where THE MUMMY is an adult film.

The collections of THE MUMMY will be around 3.50 crore nett which is poor but it would have put up a decent number if this film got a U certificate as it holds some appeal for families especially in the bigger cities.
