Varisu
Box Office India Trade Network

VARISU (Hindi) has surprisingly done decent business in the Hindi circuits as Saturday business was almost 1.50 crore nett with day one being being around 80 lakhs nett. The jump in business for the film is around 75-80% which is very good.

The film was boosted by the holiday factor in places in Gujarat and Rajasthan as these areas showed big jumps but generally there were healthy gains all barring West Bangal. The original film saw a good jump in Tamil Nadu but that was expected due to the holiday period but in Hindi circuits the holiday on Saturday was limited to certaiin places.

The collections are driven by Mumbai circuit with Central markets also giving good contribution on Saturday. The film was comfortably scoring over the Hindi film KUTTEY on Saturday and even on Friday it was ahead in many circuits. But as there is hardly any contribution from South for the Hindi version the overall collections were a little less than KUTTEY.

The film looked a very run of the mill South film from the trailer for the Hindi audience but these Saturday numbers give it a chance of putting up some respectable numbers though a break out would be the biggest shock ever as the film does not look that good. On top of it, it is city based which don't really do well in the Hindi circuits. Still the expectations were that the film would go a little up on Saturday or remain flat as its a wide release in mass belts and single screens as there is no other content.

The two day business of VARISU (Hindi) is as follows.
Friday - 80,00,000 apprx
Saturday -  1,45,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,25,00,000 apprx
