PAGALPANTI continued its poor run on Tuesday with collections of 2.35 crore nett apprx which takes its total to almost 24.50 crore nett. The Monday drop and Tuesday drops are not big but the damage was done over the weekend. If the film had opened well and then trended like this then the scenario would be different.

Comedy films are never the biggest grossers in India and this goes back forever as no comedy film has never got close to breaking records. But over the last decade or two they have been safe bets and many have done well. The problem with the genre is when a comedy is not funny then these films just cant get an audience and that is what has happened to PAGALPANTI. Even circuits like Gujarat/Saurashtra and CP, CI, Rajasthan which are more receptive to comedies (mass comedies like HOUSEFULL and GOLMAAL, not BALA or BADHAAI HO types) have disaster collections for this film.

The collections of PAGALPANTI till date are as follows.
Friday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 6,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 8,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 2,35,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 24,35,00,000 apprx

FROZEN 2 is also find it tough going on the weekdays as it collected 1.50 crore nett on Tuesday. The difference here compared to PAGALPANTI is that FROZEN 2 had decent weekend numbers and can do well on Saturday and Sunday again. The film has collected 21.50 crore nett in five days and is looking at a 24 crore nett plus first week which is a good number for a animation film if it can do well over the second weekend.

The collections of FROZEN 2 are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 6,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 8,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 21,50,00,000 apprx
