SRIKANTH had a decent first week showing a good trend over the weekdays as collections held up well. The first week collections are 17.25 crore nett apprx but its more about what the film does from here on. The signs are good with the second Friday number are crucial as that will tell if the film can collect 20 crore nett or more post the first week.

The film has the advantage of this dull period with no significant release till May end and even there its not the type to affect a film which is running well. The flow starts mid June and hence, its a good four weeks to collect well. The first week compares will with similar films this year like MERRY CHRISTMAS, LAAPATAA LADIES, SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR and MADGAON EXPRESS and is comfortably ahead of these films in first week.

The numbers are decent all over with Mumbai and Delhi/UP leading the way with 5.50 crore nett and 4.25 crore nett respectively. East Punjab is also pretty decent for a film like this as its one week business in the circuit is more than MADGAON EXPRESS and LAAPATAA LADIES. Its hard to say why the film has some decent numbers in places like Punjab and Rajasthan but it could be because the Hindi audience has nothing to watch in these places as holdovers are mainly collecting in metros.

The collections of SRIKANTH are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,40,00,000 apprx
