Kuttey: Presenting Tabu, Konkona Sen Sharma, Radhika Madan, Naseeruddin Shah And Arjun Kapoor's New Film
Box Office India Trade Network

KUTTEY had a dull first day as it collected in the 1 crore nett range but this was better than it looked in the afternoon as the evening and night shows did a little better. At the end of the day, there can be no complaints as to why the film did not collect as when you see the trailer, you know the film is bad offering no entertainment; so, the audience is just not going to waste their money.

There is simply no chance of appreciation for this type of cinema from the public today though your critics and reviewers maybe positive but they tend to like bad cinema. Today that business is even more redundant than before as now the media cannot push your Saturday like before when you got a really low Friday.

It is a sad scenario with these type of box office collections but in a way its good the audience is keeping well away from this type of cinema as only this way better cinema can be made. Earlier these type of films sometimes got respectable collections and then others attempted to make the same crap.

There will be an upward trend for the film on Saturday but unless its more than double its not likely to help much in the long run as the core mass audience will slam the door on the film on Sunday. The other release LAKADBAGGHA could not register any collections on day one.
------------------------------------
KUTTEY remained dull on its second day with collections in the 1.20 crore nett range which is growth of only 20% which takes the collections to 2.20 crore nett. The sad scenario is that it is being beaten by a very ordinary mass south film VARISU which has nothing really going for it in the Hindi circuits in terms or look or face value.

But what it probably does is has some of the elements of action, emotions and romance while KUTTEY has nothing and is one of those so called Hindi content films. But this content is only in the eyes of a certain section of the industry and critics. The wake up call is that bad looking South films, when they have the commercial elements, are getting better collections than so called Hindi content films with stars from the press.

The collections in Gujarat/Saurashtra of KUTTEY are around 5-6 times less than VARISU (Hindi). The circuit is family dominated as VARISU being a family drama benefited from the holiday while KUTTEY is a film that families do not go anywhere near.

The two day collections of KUTTEY are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000
Saturday - 1,20,00,00
TOTAL - 2,20,00,000 apprx
