DHADAK has done good business over its first weekend by collecting 33 crore nett which is the highest weekend total for a newcomer film although there has been no newcomer film for a few years. The trend of the film is strong with solid growth on Saturday and Sunday.

The Sunday growth probably puts the film on course to be a HIT film although it will be the Monday numbers that confirm this. It jumped close to 30% which is excellent for a Sunday and more than its Saturday growth which means it is doing well all over.

The collections in Punjab and Delhi city are lower but have showed growth over the weekend and should hold well enough. The best markets for the film are Nizam/Andhra, Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI, Bihar and Gujarat.

The first weekend collections of the film are below.
Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 10,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 33,00,00,000 apprx

The film has also done pretty well Overseas with collections of $1.2 million in 3 days with Gulf and US/Canada both giving a contribution of $400k each. The collections are so so for a 40 crore plus film but considering it had no face value, then the total is a healthy one.

This gives the film a worldwide total of 51 crore apprx. The comparative figure for STUDENT OF THE YEAR was 40 crore while HEROPANTI was 30.50 crore apprx but that was lower costing film.

The Hollywood film SKYSCRAPER fared poorly over the first weekend grossing around 5.50 crore nett in its firth weekend. There was some growth over the weekend but the collections were generally dull. The other Hollywood film HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION grossed around 2.75 crore nett which is low but it has come from a first day of just 45 lakhs nett.
