HAUNTED – ECHOES OF THE PAST saw a drop in collections on Wednesday as it collected 1.10 crore nett which takes the film to almost 13 crore nett. The week will end close to 14 crore nett which is good figure for this film though it will not collect much after the first week. Still the job is done as costs are very low and there is not much of P&A spend especially for the advertising side.

MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA is holding up well at the box office as it saw its best day on Wednesday and this looks to continue on the last day of the week. This means the film is going to end the week with higher collections than how it started the week. The collections of the film so far are around 9.75 crore nett and it will end the week with 11.50 crore nett.

The collections remain low but it has a chance to cover some ground in week two as the second week should be as good as the first week or maybe even more despite the competition. It does not alter the fate of the film as the costs are high but now it can end up with respectable collections if it can maintain for the next few weeks. The film has good collections now in NCR and East Punjab with Mumbai city and Bangalore also collecting well.

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

MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA, which opened to disastrous collections last week, is now showing a very good trend and the box office has improved tremendously. The film started showing a good trend over the weekdays and now the second weekend is even better. There is still a lot of work to do due to the budget of the film. Despite the trend, the collections are still only 17.50 crore nett till date though after ten days it can be around 23.50 crore nett.

It is going to cover ground from here on but its all about how much ground it can cover and where can it go. Its Delhi NCR and East Punjab doing most of the lifting at present. The film needs support from Mumbai circuit especially Mumbai city if it is to really go somewhere and continue this trend into the next few weeks. These three areas are enough for the film to get somewhere in the final tally. Mumbai has done a little more than East Punjab and this gap has to widen as there is a limit as to how much Punjab and NCR alone can give.

The film started off like it would become a EK DIN which had similar costs to MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA and openings were also the same. In the weekdays it looked like it can go the KRISHNAVATARAM PART 1: THE HEART way which was around 34 crore nett from a 1 crore nett opening. This was also costly for its face value though not as much as EK DIN.

Now it looks even better for MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA and for sure its going to get a respectable finish. However, the target now should be some sort of success or even better due to this trend and the next 2 weeks will tell whether it can do that. It will be gentry audiences driving as break out into the wider audience would actually turn out to be a miracle.

The collections of MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
