MADGAON EXPRESS and SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR had low first weekends and although there was some trajectory on Saturday, the overall collections are just too low. MADGAON EXPRESS had a weekend of 6.5-6.75 crore nett while SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR had a weekend of 5.25-5.50 crore nett. It was not only SHAITAAN that remained ahead in week three but even KUNG FU PANDA 4 was better than both films outside Mumbai circuit and had better collections on Saturday and Sunday on an all India level as well.

MADGAON EXPRESS has its best collections in Maharashtra but SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR is even better but it hardly has collections outside the state. MADGAON EXPRESS is actually far better outside Maharashtra but still very dull which pretty spells out the problem with both films. One film has no reach as its about a Maharashtrian politician and the other film has no reach due to the type of story it is.

There is the Holi period which will help the collections but where do you go from these sort of low weekends and then the competition coming this week, CREW, is also targeting the metros though demographics may be different. Both films have put up better numbers than LAAPATAA LADIES which was another non cast film released a few weeks back and had the backing of Aamir Khan Productions but was released on lesser screens then these two films.

The collections of MADGAON EXPRESS are as follows.

Friday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 2,65,00,000 apprx

The collections of SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR are as follows.
