PADMAAVAT had an excellent fifth week of 6 crore nett and this is still with Gujarat and Rajasthan missing and the film now has a total of nearly 276 crore nett. It is the sixth highest fifth week collections of all time and if we add the ratio for Gujarat and Rajasthan then it is fifth highest fifth week.

There was an attempt to release the film in Gujarat but it did not materialize. the film will still probably run for a couple of more weeks and should finish around the 280 crore nett mark. The share of the film will be around 130 crore and its recovery from all revenue sources will go close to 300 crore on the highest budget ever till date of 215 crore.

The collections of PADMAAVAT till date are as follows
First Week - 1,59,47,00,000
Second Week - 66,93,00,000
Third Week - 30,09,00,000
Fourth Week - 13,44,00,000
Fifth Week -  6,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,75,93,00,000 apprx

AIYAARY grossed 1.25 crore nett in its second week to take its total to 17.50 crore nett and the film is out of most theaters.

PAD MAN grossed 3.25-3.50 crore nett in week three to take its total to around 79 crore nett in three weeks. The film will finish in the 80 crore nett range.

PADMAAVAT had another solid weekend with business close to 4 crore nett which takes its lifetime total to 273.50 crore nett. The film has now broken records of all Hindi films except Bahubali - The Conclusion in most centers of Maharashtra and Nizam/Andhra. The fair value of Mumbai circuit is 110 crore nett while likes of TIGER ZINDA HAI, DANGAL and PK all did under 105 crore nett. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION was at another level with 185 crore nett plus.

The makers tried to get the film to be screened in Gujarat but it did not happen and now it is probably getting too late as another weekend has gone. The lifetime total of the film looks to be heading for around 278 and 280 crore nett on a best case scenario.

The collections of PADMAAVAT till date are as follows
First Week - 1,59,47,00,000
Second Week - 66,93,00,000
Third Week - 30,09,00,000
Fourth Week - 13,25,00,000 apprx
Friday - 75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,40,00,000
Sunday - 1.75,00,000
Fifth Weekend - 3,90,00,000
TOTAL - 2,73,64,00,000 apprx

AIYAARY was very poor as it grossed 75-80 lakhs nett to take its ten day total to 17 crore nett. The film will fold at around 17.50-17.75 crre nett.

PAD MAN grossed around 2-2.25 crore nett to take its total to nearly 78 crore nett in 17 days and this film will close at around 80-81 crore nett.

PADMAAVAT grossed a good 70-75 lakhs nett apprx on its fifth Friday which took its total to over 270 crore nett. The growth should be huge on Saturday as has been the case every Saturday though SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY may play spoil sport a little but to counteract the collections are at low levels. So 70-80% should not be hard.

There are reports that it may get a release in Gujarat over the weekend and this would give it another kick start though nothing like if it had released in Gujarat in week one. There have been reports of a Gujarat release before as well but nothing really happened so remains to be seen does it actually get screened.

The lifetime total of the film looks to be heading for around 277-278 crore nett if no Gujarat or Rajasthan release till the end of its run

The collections of PADMAAVAT till date are as follows
First Week - 1,59,47,00,000
Second Week - 66,93,00,000
Third Week - 30,09,00,000
Fourth Week - 13,25,00,000 apprx
Fifth Week - 75,00,000 apprx (Friday)
TOTAL - 2,70,49,00,000 apprx

The hold over from last week AIYAARY crashed with around 20 lakhs nett business on day eight taking its eight day total to 16.50 crore nett. The film will close on around 18 crore nett on a best case scenario

BLACK PANTHER had a fair hold dropping around 70% from its first day as it collected around 1.50-160 crore nett on day eight. The collections so far are around 32.50 crore nett and the film is a decent success in India though not the runaway hit that it is in the westerrn markets.

AIYAARY had a poor first weekend and the growth was also limited for the film even though it was collecting at low levels. The film has grossed 11.75 crore nett apprx over its first weekend while Itteffaq had grossed 14.82 crore nett despite being made at around half the cost of AIYAARY.

There is little chance for AIYAARY after a dull weekend as this genre needs some sort of opening because it will not get the growth of a concept film. Here the film needed 60-70% minimum Saturday growth and that was never going to happen. The weekend collections of AIYAARY are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
Sunday - 4,25,00,000
TOTAL - 11,75,00,000
---------------------------
AIYAARY as expected had a big fall on Monday as it collected 1.50 crore nett apprx. The drop is 55% with the four day collections being 13.25 crore nett. The collections on Monday confirm the disaster status of the film.

The week will finish at around 17 crore nett and then the film will struggle to hit even 20 crore nett for lifetime business as it has faced total rejection from the paying audience. The first four collections of AIYAARY are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 13,25,00,000
-----------------------------
AIYAARY continued its downfall on Tuesday with collections of just 1.20 crore nett as it dropped another 15-20% from Monday. The film will not even cross 20 crore nett.  A GENTLEMAN grossed 17.72 crore nett and that is probably the target for the film. AIYAARY business is as follows.
Tuesday - 1,20,00,000
TOTAL - 14,45,00,000 (5 Days)

AIYAARY showed growth of around 30% to collect 4.25 crore nett on its second day but it is not good enough for the film as the only way forward was a 5 crore nett second day which would have given the film a chance. The two day total of the film stands at 7.50 crore nett and that is far too low.

The film is mainly collecting in metros so Sunday growth on a best case scenario can match the Saturday growth. The collections of AIYAARY over the first two days are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
TOTAL - 7,50,00,000

BLACK PANTHER showed an upturn of 20% on Saturday which is lower than normal for a Hollywood release but the film had opened far bigger than what the film is worth for the Indian market. The two day business of the film is around 11.50 crore nett but the trend on Saturday suggests its going to find it hard in the long run in India.

The film may be setting the box office ablaze worldwide but India is a different market altogether and goes its own way. Even AIYAARY which is not going to do much managed to show a better Saturday trend.

The first two day collectons of Black Panther are as follows
Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 6,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 11,50,00,000

AIYAARY had a low opening of 3-3.25 crore nett with the film opening slow and just having the normal evening follow up when it really had to improve. This makes it very tough for the film as thriller films don't really show huge growth on day two and this film needs to be going 60-70% up to have a chance.

The promos were not impressive and the film hardly had any music but the film had fair production values so though a big opening was never going to happen but it should also not be down in the 3 crore nett range. The film showed the same picture all over with poor collections.

AIYAARY has opened in that same range as the last few Sidharth Malhotra films. The lowest opener of the below films in the morning shows was actually ITTEFAQ but it showed by fat the best growth in evening shows
Aiyaary - 3-3.25 crore nett apprx
Ittefaq - 3,69,00,000 crore nett
A Gentleman - 3,73,00,000 crore nett

BLACK PANTHER which was playing on almost 55% of the screens of AIYAARY did very well as it grossed 5-5.25 crore nett on day one. The film was very good in all the metros and even collected better than AIYAARY in the smaller circuits where Hollywood films have a lesser market unless its a franchise film.

It remains to be seen how the film goes in India though with this opening it is pretty much assured of a good weekend with the test coming on Monday.
