BHOOTH BANGLA had a good second week collecting 36 crore nett but it has been supported by the Buy One Get One Free offer over the last two days which looks set to continue. This would have given the film around 50 lakhs extra over the last two days and it hardly matters if the film collects 35.50 crore nett or 36 crore nett as its the same thing. So, its really hard to understand why its done.

There were good advances of the Marathi film RAJA SHIVAJI and it could be to counter act that but eventually however well that film does, it is a Marathi flick which will stay mainly in one state while BHOOTH BANGLA has a market outside the state. It is also sometimes done to reach a figure for a better digital deal.

Overall, the film has held steady in week two showing a drop of under 55% from week one and stands at almost 115 crore nett which is what JOLLY LLB 3 did in its lifetime business. The Thursday bump was because its a holiday on Friday and in Maharashtra, its like a national holiday. So, the film will go up again on Friday.

------------------------------------

BHOOTH BANGLA did very well on its third Friday as it collected 4.25-4.50 crore nett as it was a holiday for May Day along with Maharashtra Day which is a big holiday in Maharashtra. The stronger collections were in Maharashtra and Mysore as the holiday factor probably worked better in these two circuits.

The holiday factor will mean limited growth on Saturday but eventually, if the film comes out with a 13-14 crore nett weekend, that is a superb result. The total collections now stand at almost 120 crore nett and it actually has a shot of 150 crore nett lifetime business especially if the film can continue to do well on the weekdays.

The film is likely to cross 40 crore nett in Mumbai circuit today while Delhi/UP stands at 28 crore nett and East Punjab is 11 crore nett. There will be Saturday growth in the North but in Mumbai, it may drop which will curtail the Saturday growth.
