HOUSEFULL 4 is a huge BLOCKBUSTER on satellite as it sees first two screenings which are second only to BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION. That film accumulated around 4.70 crore impressions in the first two viewings while HOUSEFULL 4 has 3.50 crore. These are HISTORIC numbers and best ever for an outright Hindi film edging past BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN. It is way ahead of the other big blockbusters on television like JUDWAA 2, GOLMAAL AGAIN, TIGER ZINDA HAI, BAAGHI 2, 2.0 and TOTAL DHAMAAL. All these films have around 2.50 crore impressions barring GOLMAAL AGAIN which had 3.25 crore apprx. The film is set for a long run on satellite after its strong box office run. The second screening of the film at around 1.32 crore is not far off the first screening of many BLOCKBUSTER films. In fact the second screening would beat all the releases of last year barring TOTAL DHAMAAL, 2.0 (Hindi) and KESARI.

The film was much maligned on release by the trade and media but not only did it sustain very well at the box office, it is now getting the sort of audiences on television that very few films have in the past consolidating the audience verdict. It shows how clueless the trade and media is about what will appeal to the public and what will not and if the content is there which public will like then no amount of negativity can stop the public from consuming.

Below are the figures for first two screenings of the blockbuster films on television in the recent past. The number is the impressions which is basically the number of television sets which viewed the film.
