RAKSHA BANDHAN could not show any growth on Saturday as collections remained pretty flat and pretty much in the same range as Friday as it collected 5.75-6 crore nett. The film was never going to have huge growth as it did not fall much on Friday and the places where growth is strong on Saturday are where the film has not found an audience.

Still it could have been 20-30% up which would have given some momentum going into Sunday and the big holiday on Monday and maybe a shot of double digit numbers on the last two days of its extended weekend. But that does not that seem possible.

The film remains better in Hindi speaking belts of UP, CI and Rajasthan but collections remain dull in Mumbai city, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Gujarat has also seen collections down on Friday and Saturday but that should do better on Sunday and the big Independence Day holiday. The weekend of the film is just 20 crore nett apprx and that is just too low of a number. 

The film closed the gap on LAAL SINGH CHADDHA on Friday but that gap has been extended again on Saturday. The film stands at around 7 crore nett lower than the competition.

The three day collections of RAKSHA BANDHAN are as follows.. 

Thursday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,00,00,000 apprx
