SAAHO (Hindi) had a drop on Tuesday after the holiday on Monday but has still managed to collect well due to mass circuits which have come out with good numbers on Tuesday. UP, Bihar, Odisha and CP, CI all did good business. The film collected around 9 crore nett on Tuesday taking the five day figure to 101 crore nett.
The fair value collections on Monday were around 10 crore nett which is a 60% drop and the in real value the film has dropped another 15-20% on Tuesday. The trade in Mumbai really went after this film for some reason while a similar film from Hollywood a few weeks back FAST & FURIOUS: HOBBS & SHAW was said to be a blockbuster when that film had similar reports to this this one. The emotional connect is missing in the film so the film cant really sustain at higher levels and it was the same with FAST & FURIOUS: HOBBS & SHAW. But if this film can continue to run well in mass circuits it can actually turn out to be a HIT.
The film is successful and it will be that second Friday which will tell if can emerge a HIT film. The Hindi version has done far better than the other versions which saw a big drop on Tuesday.
The collections of SAAHO (Hindi) over the first four days are as follows.
Friday - 25,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 24,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 29,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 13,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 9,00,00,000
TOTAL - 1,01,75,00,000 apprx
--------------------------------------
The collections in single screens are the best of 2019 by a margin beating likes of BHARAT and KABIR SINGH. Most other successful Hindi films have average numbers in single screens. Its another wake up call to the Hindi film industry as to what is cinema. This film is a primarily a Telugu film so the connect is always going to be less with the Hindi audience but the numbers are coming in a big way as this is what cinema is supposed to be and our audiences are starved of real cinema. There has been an attempt to make big cinema which sadly has been bashed by the media and trade but the audiences in the Hindi film markets have been much kinder. The fact that an average Telugu film is going to cross most of the Hindi films released this year is embarrassing to say the least.
--------------------------------------
SAAHO has seen a drop in collections at an all India level as only
the Hindi version does well. The contribution of the Hindi version is
more than 50% now. The film has only done well in the bigger cities in
South while it is the opposite in the Hindi circuits as its places like
Bihar and Odisha which are near record levels.
Hyderabad has seen the best collections in South and the theatres in this city are not far below the collections of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION but most of the rest of Andhra Pradesh is not even half of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION. Its a similar situation in Mysore/Karnataka where Bangalore is good but the rest have not collected well.
The film collected around 16 crore nett on Tuesday taking its numbers to 237 crore nett in five days. It will comfortably cross the 300 crore nett mark but a higher contribution would have been expected from South.
The all India collections of SAAHO for the weekend are as follows.
Friday - 88,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 51,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 51,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 31,00,00,000 aprrx
Tuesday - 16,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,37,00,00,000 apprx
