THAPPAD managed to show good growth of 70% on Saturday to collect 5 crore nett. The growth is good but its difficult to tell what Saturday growth means today for films at these levels. A few years ago this sort of growth would mean a winner but nowadays all this means is that it keeps the film in the running.

The two day numbers of the film are 7.50-7.75 crore nett which is low but it can make up for this on the weekdays. The collections are best in Delhi NCR and Mumbai could have grown more as day one was not so strong. The film has very limited reach of metros and even that looks like all metros are not going to be on side. If NCR can sustain well,  then it maybe enough for the film as the costs are not high. But a lot depends on Monday which has to be close to the Friday number of the film.

If we look at the Saturday growth of similar films then PANGA went up 108% on Saturday and CHHAPAAK went up 40% and both films failed and more importantly did not sustain after the weekend. This film is a cousin of those films and it remains to be seen what is the fate of this film and the minimum target should be to beat the higher grossing cousin CHHAPAAK.

The two day collections of THAPPAD till date are as follows.
Friday - 2,85,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 7,60,00,000 apprx
