CHAND MERA DIL collected 17.75 crore nett apprx in its first week after a weekend of 10.50 crore nett. The weekdays have seen fair holds but were aided by buy one get one free offers and a holiday on Thursday for Eid. And then you have the normal discounted Tuesday anyway. If these holds had come without the offers, they would have been decent.

The problem is when these things are in play, then they have to continue; otherwise, the drops come. The film is playing on discounted rates on Friday which should keep it afloat above its real level but as Thursday was a holiday, there will be a drop from those collections. If the film can get near the 30 crore nett mark, it would be a respectable number though it would have come with the benefit of offers.

Basically, it has to hold under 50% for the second week as it will struggle to collect after that as there are a good number of releases for the next few weeks. The main problem is the film has a limited audience in a few metros and with a limited audience, it is always going to be a struggle to break out which these films have to do if they are get anywhere in the numbers game.

The collections of CHAND MERA DIL are as follows.
Friday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,15,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 17,65,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
CHAND MERA DIL collected a low 4.75 crore nett in its second weekend. The film got advantage of an offer on Friday which meant there was not much growth on Saturday and Sunday is always a struggle for films which don't have any appeal for the core Hindi circuits. The second weekend has collected 4.75 crore nett which is the same as PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO in its third weekend. 

A low opening weekend is not much of an issue for films like CHAND MERA DIL as its from Monday where they have to add and make up ground but this film has not managed to do that. It could have got away with a 10 crore nett plus first weekend but not a 4.75 crore nett second weekend. It has to be doing much better and these types need a second weekend close to their first weekend and here it will be well short. The business after its second weekend stands at almost 22.50 crore nett.

The collections of CHAND MERA DIL are as follows.
Week One - 17,62,00,000
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 4,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 22,37,00,000 apprx

The lack of releases benefited PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO as it held up well in its third weekend collecting 4.75 crore nett. The second week had shown a drop of 55% and this week is sure to be of 50%. It could even be a drop of less than 40% depending on the weekdays which is a good hold but its all too late in the day as not enough was collected in the first two weeks. The film is standing at 45 crore nett so far and should finish around the 50 crore nett mark though there will not be much business post the third week.

The figures for PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO are as follows.
Week One - 27,69,00,000
Week Two - 12,47,00,000
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Third Weekend - 4,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 44,91,00,000 apprx
