BAAGHI 3 had a good first week with collections of 87 crore nett plus and it managed to hold well over the weekdays though Holi helped it places. But even allowing for Holi, the holds were good considering its an action film and one that has only really done well at mass centres.

There was a drop on Thursday as the film came out of Holi period though UP was adding a little extra to the collections on Thursday as well. The collections in UP were better on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday compared to Monday due to Holi. Wednesday saw a huge jump in UP which really helped the all the India collections. The film is the second success of the year after TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR and a decent number on Friday will see it emerge a HIT but the danger will be more states shutting theatres like Delhi, Jammu and Kerala have done.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 till date are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 87,25,00,000 apprx

BAAGHI 3 had a good hold on Wednesday as it collected 7-7.25 crore nett which is 20% down from Monday after the big holiday on Tuesday. There is some Holi lag as collections in some centers of UP, MP and Bihar hold strongly but eventually these will go to normal levels either today or tomorrow. The film has seen Gujarat/Saurashtra come out of Holi and collections have gone to normal levels in the state. Wednesday is a crucial day as it normally sees a drop but as it was a holiday week its playing out differently for BAAGHI 3.

The total collections of the film are now 82 crore nett plus and the first week will yield good results of 87-88 crore nett. Then it will be down to the crucial second Friday to see if the film becomes a HIT or not. There is ANGREZI MEDIUM for competition but that looks a film which only has chances in some metros and BAAGHI 3 is not doing that well in metros anyway. The film could easily be better than ANGREZI MEDIUM in week two across all mass centres in the country.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 till date are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 82,25,00,000 apprx

BAAGHI 3 did very well on Holi as it collected 13.50 crore nett which is a jump of 50% from the previous day. The film was strong across mass areas on Tuesday and some of these places could hold on Wednesday due to the Holi leftover though the majority of places across the country will see a fall. The pick up came post 1 pm on Holi which is the normal scenario and collections before 1 pm were less than the previous day.

The total collections of the film are now 75 crore nett and the film is on course to emerge a HIT but a lot depends on what happens over the next three days. There will be a fall on Wednesday and the crucial day will be on Friday because if the film can get a decent second Friday it will be job done. There will be competition from ANGREZI MEDIUM but that is unlikely to challenge BAAGHI 3 in mass markets as its a multiplex film for the metros where BAAGHI 3 is not too strong anyway.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 till date are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 75,00,00,000 apprx

BAAGHI 3 has had a good first weekend of 52.75 crore nett. The film has the baggage of an extraordinary 72 crore nett weekend of the last film of the franchise but as a standalone film these numbers for the first weekend are good.

The Sunday number of nearly 20 crore nett is solid result for the film considering it had clocked up just 15.50 crore nett on Saturday. It was not going to be an easy task to get over the first day business on Sunday but the film has managed that comfortably. The issue facing the film is very average response in the bigger cities be it a Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore or Chandigarh while collections in places like Patna, Surat, Agra and Bhopal are good and even very good.

Its not multiplex or single screen specific in these places, the multiplexes in Patna and Surat have scored as well as the single screen. The problem lies in the 200-300 bigger multiplexes where there are higher ticket rates and its these which could have added another 8-10 crore nett to the weekend box office if they had performed.

There is the Holi period from Monday onward with the big holiday falling on Tuesday which will see very strong occupancy from the afternoon shows. The film could have got a Monday boost at metros as its a holiday the next day day but the business of the film is not so good at these metros which may mean the normal Monday drop for the film.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 52,75,00,000 apprx
-----------------------------------
BAAGHI 3 had a fair hold on Monday as it collected 8.75 crore nett. The drop on Monday is the regular 50% drop but its coming off a 17 crore nett plus total on day one which gives the film a solid Monday figures. The four day business of the film is now 61.50 crore nett.

The film is a success as it will get a good boost today and collections should easily go into double digits and it could even be at 75 crore nett after five days though a lot depends on the jump today. With 75 crore nett there in five days, its pretty certain the film is going over 100 crore nett which is enough for the film to be a success.

For the film to emerge a HIT, it has to do a little better and it will probably be the second Friday which will determine if the film can become a HIT. The film has scored very well in Gujarat/Saurashtra as it just 10% lower than BAAGHI 2 there while all the all India difference is around 25% after four days. The falls were more than 50% in West Bangal and Mysore but the franchise has not done too well in these circuits.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 till date are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 61,50,00,000 apprx

BAAGHI 3 saw a drop in collections of a little over 12% as mass centres saw the normal drops for an action film but the bigger multiplexes failed to show growth. The second day collections was 15.50 crore nett which takes the two day total of the film to 33 crore nett.

The two day numbers are still pretty good though not upto the level of the last film in the franchise. It is the metros and other places like Chandigarh and Jaipur where the collections are not what they should be. Bihar, CP Berar, Nizam/Andhra (Marathawada strong) are all doing well with Gujarat/Saurashtra being the best of the lot as that went up on Saturday.

The film is going to have a good three day weekend even if Sunday growth is just decent and this will be despite the trend not being so good. The fate of the film will not be known for a few days yet as its Holi on Monday and some states remain in holiday period post Holi. If the film does well for the next 3-4 days it will emerge a HIT film. The coincidence is that all three BAAGHI franchise films have dropped on day two.

The collections of BAAGHI 3 are as follows.
Friday - 17,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 33,00,00,000 apprx
