BACHCHHAN PAANDEY saw a drop in business on day two as it collected around the 11 crore nett mark. The drop was mainly because of  Mumbai circuit as it got hit hard especially Gujarat which was very good on day one. Mumbai circuit dropped 30% from a near 5 crore nett figure to 3,25 crore nett plus.

The rest of the country saw collections go up or remain at similar levels. CP Berar where mainly single screens remained shut on Friday saw collections almost double going from 37 lakhs to over 70 lakhs while Delhi/UP also went up from 2.40 crore nett to 3 crore nett. Today Bihar will also come into play as that has been most shut over the first two days. The Holi areas are holding well due to extended holidays.

The bigger problem for the film is the multiplex business as THE KASHMIR FILES runs riot and as that film gets full in advance there are multiplexes giving extra shows and BACHCHHAN PAANDEY is the casualty here. The two day collections of the film are 23 crore nett and even on Sunday the scope for improvement is limited. The capacity is there at multiplexes but the audience is going to the other film and leaving BACHCHHAN PAANDEY as mainly a single screen film.

The two day business of BACHCHHAN PAANDEY is as follows.

Friday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 11,00,00,000 apprx
