Laapataa Ladies Review: Emotionally Engaging Film Laced With Doses Of Wry Humour
Box Office India Trade Network

LAAPATAA LADIES will be the biggest beneficiary of the dull period post Eid as it has maintained weekly collections at similar levels post Eid running on around 100 cinemas on average per week. The total of the film will go over 20 crore nett this week.

The film has found some appreciation among the gentry audience but a break out is missing and for that it needed a better holds earlier in its run. The drop in the second week probably sealed its fate as it it took it down to low levels.

A film like 12TH FAIL maintained similar collections over the first two weeks which allowed holds at higher levels. The box office profile of the film though is very similar to 12TH FAIL with the same places doing better business. Generally its the metros where the film scores and then you have those few high end multiplexes in places like Lucknow, Indore, Patna etc,

The out performance for LAAPATAA LADIES is probably Kolkata which will take West Bengal to a near 2 crore nett number. This will be just 30% down on 12TH FAIL when the all India number is 65% down on 12TH FAIL. Overall its a respectable end for the film as with just 10 crore nett in two weeks, it has managed to reach 20 crore nett though a lot is down to lack of releases which has probably added around 2-3 crore nett which is a decent amount for this film.

The collections of LAAPATAA LADIES till date are as follows.
Week One - 6,00,00,000 
Week Two - 3,87,00,000
