BHOLAA has finished with collections at a little over 80 crore nett but this film should really have done better. The film had decent reports at an exhibitor level but this was not reflected in the box office collections of the film. So, obviously something went amiss.

BHOLAA was a rural action film which have huge potential but with the film being shot with a green screen background, then that rural look and feel goes from the film and starts to look fake. Maybe, this makes it tougher for the audience to connect. If its a period or sci fi, then its different as that world has to be created but BHOLAA is set in present times. The same film shot on real locations with this type of action would be a different kettle of fish. Yes there can be logistics involved and a bigger budget and generally maybe tougher to make it outdoors but that's where the reward lies.

Imagine the all time classics like MOTHER INDIA, SHOLAY, KRANTI and GADAR shot with a green screen or even more recent blockbusters like BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN or DANGAL. This is not to say BHOLAA is comparable to these as a film but the way rural landscape looks real makes a big difference.

There is a also the remake factor as the original film would have got an audience on other platforms but whoever the actor was in the original he would not have been at the level of Ajay Devgn which further aids the film. Basically the film needed real locations and some relief in the heavy drama and this film would have done much more business. It may have even proved a HIT despite being a remake but with a fake look, it would have taken some feel out of the film and even disconnected the audience

The final business of BHOLAA is a as follows.

Week One -52,97,00,000

Week Two - 15,89,00,000

Week Three - 8,78,00,000

Week Four - 1,60,00,000

Week Five - 79,00,000

Week Six - 19,00,000

Week Seven - 3,00,000

Week Eight - 1,00,000

The film did not do well in overseas but that was sort of expected and the film ended up with $1.82 million. The worldwide business of the film is 115 crore as it finished with 15 crore in overseas and 100 crore GBOC in India. 

BHOLAA collected a low 1.50 crore nett in its fourth week to takes its four week total to 79 crore nett plus. The film had some fair collections in limited screens on Saturday and Sunday but the rest of the week saw low collections.

The film should get to 80 crore nett plus as it will remain in cinemas for a few weeks yet due to lack of releases. The collections of the film will be lower than TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR in all circuits and that includes places like CP and Bihar which is down to Ramazan as at least these type of circuits should have got higher than the Ranbir Kapoor starrer

The best collections are in Delhi/UP with around 21 crore nett. Mumbai is at 24 crore nett but it is an under performance as neither Maharashtra or Gujarat have done much.

The business of BHOLAA till date is as follows.

Week One -52,97,00,000

Week Two - 15,89,00,000

Week Three - 8,78,00,000

Week Four - 1,50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA collected a fair 8.25 crore nett in its third week but it hardly matters much as overall the film has not performed. The lack of new releases has meant the trend of the film has been okay but its all coming on low collections. There is a hit from Ramazan but some of that will have been compensated by holidays and lack of releases.

The three week number of the film is 77 crore nett and it remains to be seen if the film can get to the 80 crore nett mark. The film will get some collections over the Eid period but it has minimal screenings. The film needed around 95 crore nett to hit the AVERAGE mark but will remain well short of that.

The best performance for the film is Delhi/UP where it has collected around 20 crore nett till date but Gujarat, CP, CI etc have not performed for the film.

The business of BHOLAA till date is as follows.

Week One -52,97,00,000

Week Two - 15,88,00,000 apprx

Third Week - 8,25,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA is heading for an 8.50 crore nett third week which are reasonable collections considering a similar film VIKRAM VEDHA did not even collect 4 crore nett in week 3. But it hardly alters the fate of BHOLAA  due to the low initial collections. The total collections of the film are now almost 76 crore nett.

The film has benefitted from an open run with some partial holidays but on the other side there is Ramzan which has cost the film. The business after three weeks is looking to be around 77 crore nett and then the 80 crore nett mark depends on what happens when KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN releases.

The best performance for the film is Delhi/UP where it has collected around 20 crore nett till date but Gujarat, CP, CI etc have not performed for the film.

The business of BHOLAA till date is as follows.

Friday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 75,00,000 apprx

Third Week - 7,00,00,000 apprx (5 Days)

BHOLAA collected around 5.50 crore nett in its third weekend which was a dull weekend as the industry awaits the release of KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN on Friday. The Eid release is opening a day before Eid which is a dull day for collections and advances of the will open today (Monday).

BHOLAA was the main collecting film and has taken its total after the third weekend to 74 crore nett as it aims for that 80 crore nett final total. The lack of competition has meant the film has held well from last weekend with a drop of 50%. The screens will be limited from Friday but it can still collect a little post Eid.

The best performance for the film is Delhi/UP where it has collected around 20 crore nett till date but Gujarat, CP, CI etc have not performed for the film.

Friday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Third Weekend - 5,50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA collected 1.50 crore nett on its third Friday helped by a partial holiday for Ambedkar Jayanti and its a decent number for a third Friday. But as it has come due to the holiday, it means the growth on Saturday will not be like it should be. This takes the total collection of the film to 71 crore nett.

The drop is a little over 50% from last Friday. So, if the film shows a similar trend for the week, it means that the lifetime business of the film is going to end around 80 crore nett assuming it can pick up 2-3 crore nett post with Eid with the release of KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN.

On a worst case scenario, the film will beat the numbers of films like VIKRAM VEDHA and JUGJUGG JEEYO at 79 crore nett and 78 crore nett respectively.

The business of BHOLAA till date is as follows.

Friday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA collected 16.50 crore nett in its second week taking its overall total to 69 crore nett. The drop is 70% from the first week which was eight days. So, considering the eight day week, the drop is actually not too bad with the problem being the first week did not collect much. This is a general industry problem with films just not doing the desired business in week one.

The lack of competition and a holiday today (Friday) should help the film in week three and it should have a better hold over the week as compared to week two. Delhi/UP remained the best circuit for the film in week two but business across Hindi mass circuits leaves a lot to be desired. The likes of CP Berar and CI may remain less than a film like TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR which should not happen for a film like BHOLAA. 

The film has really been boosted by collections from 3D cinemas which have got the best collections. The target for the film is to hit 80 crore nett.

The business of BHOLAA till date is as follows.

Friday - 3,15,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,20,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,30,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 16,40,00,000 apprx 

GUMRAAH had a poor first week as it collected around 5.75 crore nett. The film remains in cinemas in week two as the new releases have even less appeal than GUMRAAH.

BHOLAA collected 1.25 crore nett on Tuesday which is the same as Monday and takes its overall total to almost 66 crore nett. The second week collections look to be heading for 16.50 crore nett which is a low total for a film that did not have a good opening weekend.

Overall, the film has not fared that badly in the main multiplexes considering what sort of content it is but mass circuits leave a lot to be desired as these should have been leading the film. It remains to be seen if the film can reach 80 crore nett and that looks the maximum for the film from here.

The collections of BHOLAA till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,15,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 13,90,00,000 apprx (5 days)

GUMRAAH continued its poor run run on Tuesday.

The four day collections of GUMRAAH are as follows.

Friday - 1,10,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA saw a drop in collections as it collected 1.25 crore nett which takes the overall total to 65.50 crore nett plus. The second week so far has collected 12.75 crore and its looking a second week collection of 16-16.50 crore nett for the film.

This will mean two weeks of a little under 70 crore nett. The third week will also see hardly any competition though there is a holiday on Friday. Its the last week for Eid; so, the collections in many parts will go to very low levels though that will not make much of a difference here as the film itself will hardly be collecting.

Overall the film has not fared that badly in the main multiplexes considering what sort of content it is but mass circuits leave a lot to be desired as these should have been leading the film. It remains to be seen if the film can reach 80 crore nett and that looks the maximum for the film from here.

Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 12,65,00,000 apprx (4 days)

GUMRAAH had a poor Monday as it collected 50 lakhs nett which takes the film to around 4.50 crore nett in four days. The drop of 55% from Good Friday would not be that bad if the film had some collections.

The best release of the weekend has turned out to be THE POPE'S EXORCIST which held best on Monday and in India is likely to beat the THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE which is a BLOCKBUSTER in North America and many other countries.

The weekend collections of GUMRAAH are as follows.

Friday - 1,10,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA collected a low 11.50 crore nett in its second weekend as the film saw dropping collections all over. The Friday got a boost due Good Friday but even here, the collections were not high enough as it was inevitable that there was not going to be much growth.

The total collections of the film are 64 crore nett so far and it should reach the 70 crore nett and there should be boost on Thursday with the next day being a holiday. But with low collections, it will be limited. The film will move ahead of RAM SETU over the weekend and may eventually finish with similar business to VIKRAM VEDHA. BHOLAA is actually probably a better film than these two but Ramazan has probably kept it 10-12% lower than it could have been. 

The best business for the film is in Delhi/UP where it stands at around 16.50 crore nett while Mumbai is at around 19.50 crore nett. The film should have got higher numbers here. East Punjab is at 6 crore nett and the ratio here is as much as TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR which it should never be. But East Punjab is not affected by Ramazan so is out performing. 

The collections of BHOLAA till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,15,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Second Weekend - 11,40,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA showed growth of around 20% on Saturday as it was coming off a holiday on Friday. It collected 3.75 crore nett and took the overall collection to 60 crore nett. The fair value number for Friday is probably around 2-2.25 crore nett.

The second week performance of the film will not be good even though it has another holiday on the weekdays but as collections have gone to low levels, it will hardly be a 50 lakh boost. It is another film on the lines of RAM SETU and VIKRAM VEDHA which has not really hit the mark though this has probably taken a 5-7 crore nett hit for Ramazan.

There is also the factor that the film is a remake of a South film which has been consumed in a dubbed version and as been seen post pandemic, these films are finding it tough at the box office where original content is a better bet. 

The collections of BHOLAA till date are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,40,00,000 apprx

Friday - 3,15,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA did well on Friday due to Good Friday as it collected 3.25 crore nett to take its collections to 56.50 crore nett plus. The film got a boost due to the holiday but it will be the Saturday number which will tell what the actual value of Friday is.

If it was not a holiday, this number would have been good as it would mean an easy 20 crore nett plus week but now its about how much growth Saturday can get. This growth on Friday is around 30% from Thursday but without the holiday, there was likely to be a drop or on a best case scenario there would have been flat collections.

SHIVAAY, which was also directed by Ajay Devgn, collected around 85 crore nett in 2016 and that number looks tough for BHOLAA unless there is huge Saturday growth.

The collections of BHOLAA till date are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,40,00,000 apprx

Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA came down on Wednesday as it collected 2.50 crore nett which is a huge 40% down on Tuesday. The drop should have been much lower. It was a holiday on Tuesday but the jump was minimal as a lot of that holiday factor may have been in the collections of Monday.

This takes the film to 51 crore nett in its first seven days and now the expectations for a 90 crore nett number come down as 90 crore nett seems impossible unless it has a miraculous week two which goes towards the 25 crore nett mark. But that's very unlikely as 20 crore nett collection in the second week may be tough.

BHOLAA faced a drop everywhere including the better markets like Delhi/UP. The film could hold up well on the last day of the week due to this big drop and collect around 53.25-53.50 crore nett for the extended first week.

The seven day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

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

BHOLAA had a low first week of around 53.50 crore nett as collections came down after Tuesday. There was a major drop on Wednesday though collections were stable the next day. The Thursday should have ended with collections of 3 crore nett or higher but it has ended 20% below that mark.

This collections of the film should be aided by Good Friday today but there have been a few releases today which means screen space lost at multiplexes. There is nothing major but two Hollywood releases and a Hindi film GUMRAAH combined takes away the screen space. These film are not an issue in mass belts but there the problem is Ramazan which is holding back collections to an extent.

The best numbers will come from Delhi/UP though they are not good. Generally the film has underperformed everywhere though for this type of film and its probably mass circuits where the film has underperformed more. The bigger multiplex collections are respectable for this type of heavy action film.

The extended first week collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,40,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA showed a little upturn on Tuesday which was a holiday in some parts of the country for Mahavir Jayanti. The film collected 4.35-4.50 crore nett taking its total to 48.50 crore nett. The jump should have been more but its possible that some of the jump was factored into the collections on Monday.

The film now is probably heading for a first week of around 55 crore nett as there is likely to be a drop today (Wednesday). There is a holiday on Friday which should mean collections can improve on Friday or at the worst do not drop. The best performing market of the film is likely to be Delhi/UP which follows Pathaan and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar which were also strong in Delhi/UP.

BHOLAA has chances of hitting the AVERAGE mark if it can sustain well from here. The low weekend hit any chances the film had of becoming a HIT.

The six day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA held up well on Monday as it collected 4-4.25 crore nett which is a drop 35% apprx from Friday. The Thursday release hit the Friday collections and hence, it was a low Friday for the film. These was a little boost on Monday evening for BHOLAA due to Mahavir Jayanti on Tuesday but even allowing for that, its a decent trend.

The film trended better in mass pockets as some mass areas do better on Monday anyway and it is a holiday in most of the Hindi states on Tuesday. The Monday performance is the best in mass belts if we look at the ratio of business and that includes the first day.

The collections of the film so far are 44 crore nett plus and the film should do 55 crore at least over the week and it could be more depending on how it behaves today (Tuesday). The film will have a holiday on Friday also to start the second week on a good note. A 90-100 crore nett result will be seen as a very good result in the industry. In terms of costs, it will not really be but due to the prevailing situation and its a very heavy action film which have limited youth audience, it will be seen as a decent result.

The five day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA did well on Sunday as it jumped well across all the mass circuits and collected around 12.75 crore nett for an overall jump of around 20%. Despite the Sunday jump, the extended weekend business is on the lower side. The weekend total was 40 crore nett but its over four days. The same total in three days would have been pretty good.

The mass pockets have not given the numbers they should have for an action film like this which is actually being driven by the multiplexes. This might be due to Ramazan or maybe as more of the mass market audience has seen the original Tamil film. The 3D factor also gives a better chance for higher collections at multiplexes.

The film should get a Monday push in the evening in various centres as it is a holiday on Tuesday but it has to hold well from here. The film really has to a lot of work to do to emerge a HIT and a more realistic aim is success and that too because there are a few holidays which it can benefit from Eid.

The four day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA did pretty well on Saturday as multiplexes did well for the film to edge past the first day numbers which were aided by a partial holiday. The film collected around 10.50-10.75 crore nett on Saturday to take its total to over 27 crore nett for the first three days. The growth from Friday was around 60%.

The Sunday is crucial for the film as mass circuits are underperforming. The collections in UP were still around 20% below the first day and a circuit like CI is yet to see the film hit 50 lakh on any day and a film in this zone with Ajay Devgn should easily be doing that. There is a Ramazan hit which is affecting single screens and smaller multiplex business in many centres. It could even be that the original film from South has travelled and been consumed in these areas leading to lesser collections.

The better collections of the film are coming from Mumbai, Delhi NCR and East Punjab but that has to change as UP, Rajasthan Bihar have to do better on Sunday.

The three day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

BHOLAA saw a drop in collections on day two as it picked up 6.50 crore nett. The drop was always coming but is on the higher side and the film has a total of 16.75 crore nett in two days. The response to the film at a cinema level is decent but its pretty clear that Ramazan is affecting the film hugely as where exhibitors are seeing this decent response, the sort of collections that should come are not coming.

The fact that a circuit like East Punjab is the out performer for this film which is multiplex heavy circuit and been a dull performer post pandemic and has a limited Muslim audience pretty much tells the story and the problem. There had to be far more urgency to watch the film to get this audience out and even though the response is decent, it seems a task to get this mass crowd out over Ramadan.

In Nizam/Andhra, the local film DASARA is doing decent but BHOLAA is very dull because for Hindi films, the Muslim crowd forms most of the audience. The footfalls are down post pandemic and if a mass film is to come pre Eid, it will have to be one with a craze otherwise it will be only multiplex centric films which can score in this period. The film has the weekend to come but looking at the numbers from mass circuits, its going to be a struggle as these areas should be doing much better but Ramazan is holding them back.

The two day collections of BHOLAA are as follows.

Thursday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

BHOLAA had a fair first day as it got into double digits with collections of 10-10.25 crore nett. The film was aided by the Ram Navami holiday which helped certain mass pockets to get better collections while the 3D version of the film helped collections at multiplexes.

The collections are decent as the film looked very heavy and even action films need relief be it through music or other elements and a double digit number was going to be a par result number for the film. It could have been helped by better in collections in Maharashtra and even MP could have done better. The 3D is a huge plus as far as business in multiplexes goes.

The best performance is probably the Delhi/UP market and even East Punjab has woken up a little as almost 90 lakh is pretty good for this. Also, the circuit has not been performing well at all since the pandemic (only KGF - CHAPTER 2 can be said to have outperformed in this circuit). The 3D may have helped due to many big multiplexes in the circuit.

The opening day gives the film a chance, There is a drop in collections in the morning but that is natural and its about the recovery post afternoon and how close they can take the film to its day one number. The film must come back to the day one level on Saturday and Sunday has to be higher and then it can benefit the holidays over the next couple of weeks.
