The film had a contribution of around 70 crore nett in Mumbai while Delhi/UP was almost 50 crore nett. The collections are generally good in all circuits even though B and C centres were very average.

The stand out was Nizam/Andhra which did around around 14.50 crore in Hindi and 19 crore nett in Telugu for a total of 33.50 crore nett making it the second best performer there outside a South Indian film after AVENGERS: ENDGAME though AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is coming which can smash these numbers.

The film also hit the 400 crore mark worldwide in Hindi making it the 10th original Hindi film to cross 400 crore worldwide. The other nine are DANGAL, PK, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, SANJU, SULTAN, TIGER ZINDA HAI, PADMAAVAT, DHOOM 3 and WAR. This is a first post-pandemic for an original Hindi film.

KGF - CHAPTER 2 finished with 585 crore worldwide in Hindi and RRR was 388 crore in Hindi which makes it the second best performer in Hindi post the pandemic. If we take all formats the film finished with 431 crore worldwide.

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) collected a decent 5.75 crore nett in its fourth week as it collected well over the weekdays especially on Tuesday and Wednesday. The weekend business was 3 crore nett but the film almost doubled that over the weekdays.

The film has now collected 226 crore nett in Hindi in four weeks and should finish neat the 230 crore nett mark and this will make it the 19th highest grosser ever and fourth highest post pandemic. The film has also added a record 23.75 crore in dubbed formats which takes the total of the to 250 crore nett in all formats.

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) saw a drop in collections on the fourth Friday which was expected as third week got a boost from cinema day and there was competition from a new release, VIKRAM VEDHA. The film collected around 65 lakhs nett on its fourth Friday.

The film will will gain momentum again on Saturday and then there is the Dussehra period to help the film on the weekdays. The week is probably looking at around 4 crore nett with this Friday number but the Dussehra period should take the film higher for the week. The total collections of the film so far are 220.50 crore nett and it should go towards that 230 crore nett mark in Hindi.

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

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) collected a decent 3.75 crore nett in its fourth weekend as it gained momentum on Saturday and Sunday. The collections in Hindi now stand at 223.50 crore nett while in all formats it is 247 crore nett plus which is the highest total for a film from the Hindi film industry post the pandemic.

The total of BRAHMASTRA in Hindi will remain below THE KASHMIR FILES but that film had so many sponsored and paid screenings in its box office run. So the total of that film is not all organic. The film should get another boost in the weekdays due to Dusshera and may cross 225 crore nett by the end of the week.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

BRAHMASTRA has hit a rare £1 million in United Kingdom as it becomes the first film to hit that mark after SANJU in 2018. The film hit the £1 million mark on Monday and it should go on and finish at around £1.1 million. SANJU was released in 2018 and it has taken 4 years to get a £1 million film though 18 months were lost to the pandemic.

This £1 million mark is a huge number in United Kingdom today although many films hit this mark 15 or 20 years back. This is mainly due to loyalty cards at the major multiplex chains which gives a much lower gross per ticket than when a normal ticket is bought.

The £1 million films in United Kingdom in recent years are as follows. There are a couple of films like GOOD NEWWZ and KALANK which fell a little short of the £1 million mark.

Brahmasta - $1.05 million (23 days)

Sanju - £1,345,000

Race 3 - £1,174,000

Padmaavat - £2,187,000

Tiger Zinda Hai - £1,781,000

Raaes - £1,327,000

Dangal - £2,563,000

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - £1,473,000

Sultan - £1,788,000

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) picked up almost 1.50 crore nett on its third Wednesday and took its total to 218.50 crore nett. The drops are a bit more than normal over the weekdays but that is probably as so many people watched the film on cinema day with cheap tickets.

The collections of the film will do well again on Saturday and Sunday but there could be a big drop on Friday due to the release of VIKRAM VEDHA. If that drop can be avoided then the film can have a another good week with the possibility of another double digit week but for that it needs a strong hold on Friday.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,85,00,000 apprx

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Third Week - 75,00,000 apprx (6 days)

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

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) did good business in week three thanks to bumped up collections on cinema day which formed almost one third of its third week collections. The film picked up a healthy 26.50 crore nett apprx in week three to take its collections to 220 crore nett apprx.

The drop from the second week is under 50% which is excellent but again it is mainly due to the cinema day on Friday. The drop will be much more this week due to the release of Vikram Vedha and fair value of week two is lower than the 26 crore nett it has put up in week two. The film is probably looking at a lifetime of 230 crore nett or close depending on where the film lands on fourth Friday.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,45,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

The collections of the film in all formats stand at 243 crore nett.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Third Week - 80,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) collected around 1.65 crore nett on Tuesday taking its total to over 217 crore nett and by the end of the week it should be standing at around 220 crore nett. There will be big competition this week with VIKRAM VEDHA. But BRAHMASTRA still should be able to add anywhere in the range of 10-20 crore nett. A lot will depend how VIKRAM VEDHA fares at the box office.

BRAHMASTRA has fared well across all circuits and done HIT business in all circuits be it a single screen dominated CP Berar or a multiplex heavy East Punjab but it has to be noted that the strong business has generally come from the main cities in all the circuits. The B and C cities have not performed that well be it CP Berar or East Punjab or other circuits. The film has crossed the 60 crore nett mark in Mumbai and is closing in on 50 crore nett in Delhi/UP. 

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,85,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Second Week - 3,43,00,000 

Third Week - 70,00,000 apprx (5 days)

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) collected well on its third Monday with collections at little under 2 crore nett at 1.85 crore nett. The lower priced ticket rates did not help the film much on Monday as this is what the film would have collected on third Monday going by the second week numbers. The footfalls are more but not enough to give better collections

This takes the third week total to 22 crore nett plus and the film is probably heading for a 26-27 crore nett third week. The total collections of the film have hit 215 crore nett plus and its looking a 235 crore nett range finish for the film. This is taking into account that VIKRAM VEDHA gets a decent run. But if the film fails than BRAHMASTRA can do more as that has been the trend for films which succeed and others around don't.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Third Week - 60,00,000 apprx (4 days)

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) scored a very good third weekend of 20.25 crore nett weekend thanks to a big boost in collections on cinema day. The collections, however, held up very well after the huge Friday when they could have easily dropped.

The film did drop heavily on Saturday outside the metros and mini metros but they came back up on Sunday. The film is standing at 213.50 crore nett after the third weekend and could rack up good numbers on the weekdays as exhibitors experiment with lower pricing. The Hindi version now has the potential to go to 240 crore nett or even higher though a lot depend on what happens when VIKRAM VEDHA releases.

The weekdays will have rates at Rs.112 though it wont have the same affect as cinema day as that was one day and a Friday too. Here its a longer period. This pricing is the lowest it can be without falling into the higher GST slab. So if this was done on Friday the collections could have been higher for all films on that day which had problem with capacity especially Brahmastra.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Third Weekend - 20,25,00,000

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Third Weekend - 50,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) saw excellent collections of 5.50 crore nett on its third Saturday after the huge 8.50 crore nett on cinema day. There was fear that Saturday would take a hit as so many people watched the film on Friday due to cheaper rates. But it is basically back on its normal trajectory as far as collections are concerned.

The film has taken a hit on Saturday outside the bigger centres as collections there have fallen a lot but that is mainly due to the fact that these places did so well on Friday as they got an extra audience due to lower rates. The ratio of business coming from the national chains is huge on Saturday at over 70% which it has never been and today it will need good collections outside these national chains for growth.

Even if the growth does not come on Sunday it will still be a very good third weekend of 19.50 crore nett. The film now stands at 207 crore nett and should be around 213 crore nett after its third weekend. The collections.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Friday - 20,00,000

Saturday - 15,00,000

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) had a huge third Friday as it collected 8.50 crore nett apprx due to cinema day and this is the second highest third Friday of all time after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION for a film in Hindi. The film racked up almost 14 lakh admissions which is just 20-25% less than its first day admissions.

This now takes the film over the 200 crore nett mark and is the first original Hindi film to go over the 200 crore nett mark post pandemic fair and square. Yes there was THE KASHMIR FILES but over the first 2-3 weeks that film had so many paid and sponsored shows with sometimes whole screens being booked out and this was at a level never seen before in the history of Hindi cinema. Here, the box office is totally organic and has collected like most films do it.

The cinema day has been a huge success for exhibitors with huge occupancy and popcorn running out at places across the country and for the public and for BRAHMASTRA which would have never got this number on the third Friday. However, it must get 21-22 crore nett over the week as that is how much it would have got if cinema day did not happen.

For the industry itself there is more work to be done as this is not viable in the long run and there has to be longer testing periods which will be eminent as a balance has to be formed between occupancy and collections. For the bigger films this just cant work as it does not allow the collections they need to come. The main issue is high priced concessions and it is going to be very difficult to find correct pricing as some films will only collect at Rs. 75 while others can easily even collect at Rs. 300. There is the story that this has shut up the boycott bandwagon but that was pretty much nothing and irrelevant anyway and became an excuse for bad films.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 14,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 15,00,000 apprx

Friday - 20,00,000

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) continues to do steady business on the weekdays of its second week as it collects 3 crore nett on its second Wednesday. The drops are a little more than normal on the weekdays of the second week but that is mainly due to cinema day on Friday when some of the weekday audience will be looking to take benefit of cheaper ticket rates.

The collections of the film are now 190.50 crore nett and the second week will finish at around 50 crore nett plus. The film then will score a very good second Friday due to cinema day and it remains to be seen how it goes after that.

BRAHMASTRA is doing well across all circuits though its mainly thanks to the bigger centres with Mumbai leading the way as it does around one third of the Hindi version business. Nizam/Andhra has been the stand out circuit but that is due to the Telugu version.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

First Week - 1,42,91,00,000

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 47,50,00,000 apprx (6 days)

The dubbed version of the film will cross the 22 crore nett mark in two weeks. The collections of all formats will be around 215 crore nett after two weeks.

Wednesday - 20,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 3,10,00,000 apprx (6 days)

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

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) scored a very good second week of around 50 crore nett. The collections could have been higher but the cheap tickets on cinema day may have cost it around 1 crore nett as some of the weekday audience waited till Friday to watch the film. Still this 1 crore nett will be more than easily covered by the collections on Friday.

BRAHMASTRA is the 19th film in Hindi to cross the 50 crore nett barrier in week two. This has taken the total of the film to 193 crore nett in two weeks and it will cross 200 crore nett on its third Friday. The film has dropped 65% in week two which is also pretty good.

The film is sure to remain in cinemas for sometime yet due to the lack of releases and it remains to be seen what sort of boost the film gets from cinema day on Friday. The Hindi version looked on course for the 225 crore nett plus mark but now it could go higher as long as cinema day does not affect the longer run of the film.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

First Week - 1,42,91,00,000

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

The dubbed versions have picked up 22 crore nett giving the film a total of 215 crore nett on all formats.

BRAHMASTRA continues its strong run overseas in its second weekend collecting around $2 million plus in its second weekend which has taken its overall total to $12 million apprx. This is easily the highest figure a Hindi film as it beat the $9 million of KGF - CHAPTER 2 (Hindi). There is a little Telugu business in the overseas total for BRAHMASTRA mainly in USA but that will account for just 4-5% of the overall total. So even if we take $11.50 million its still far ahead of KGF - CHAPTER 2.

The numbers are less in Gulf but it seems a market specific thing there at the moment as maybe it could have done $500k more but even then it would be a $2.5 million finish apprx and that is still well below what the big budget HIT films were doing pre pandemic. The numbers in USA/Canada, UK and Australia are much closer if not similar to what the film would have done before the pandemic.

The United Kingdom hold has been very good after the first weekend and it heads for a comfortable £1 million plus finish and the last film to do that was also coincidently a Ranbir Kapoor film, SANJU. The £1 million mark in UK was a BLOCKBUSTER total for the circuit pre pandemic as loyalty cards have meant a falling market. The film is likely to end up with around $14-15 million in overseas.

The collections from overseas after the second weekend and are as follows.

United Kingdom - £885,000 ($1,040,000)

US/Canada - $6,800,000

Gulf - $1,750,000

Australia - A$1,465,000 ($980,000)

Rest Of The World - $1,500,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) did well again on its second Monday as it collected in the 4-4.25 crore nett range which is a drop of around 50% from the Friday but that is because ticket rates have come down to base levels from Monday onward so the bigger multiplexes fell more than normal on the second Monday. These are the places which had also seen a good jump on Friday. The places where there was no growth on Friday have held on better. 

This takes the film to 41 crore nett in the second week after four days and it will be a comfortable 50 crore nett plus second week. The Hindi version now stands at 184 crore nett and it should add another 10 crore nett over the next three days for a total of 194 crore nett after two weeks.

There is also no major competition this week but there is national cinema day on Friday where most of the multiplex chains be it national or non national will price tickets at INR 75 only. So, its hard to to tell where the film will land up on this day.

At present the film is looking to finish at 220-230 crore nett in Hindi which is a great result for a film which does not have support at B and C centres and that too post pandemic when it has been a huge task to succeed without the support of these as bigger cities have been hit by the streaming habit. All the other films to have got around 200 crore nett or above did well at least in the B centres.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 14,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 30,00,000 apprx

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

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) collected a decent 3.50 crore nett on its second Tuesday taking its overall to 187.50 crore nett but it may feel the heat over the next couple of days due to the cheap rates on Friday which can lessen the business on the other days.

The business for cinema day on Friday has already reached 2.50 crore nett plus and it is sure to do a very good number but the issue is what happens after this huge day as it is likely to consume much of the weekend footfalls. One thing is there though the film is sure to cross the 200 crore nett mark in Hindi on National Cinema Day.

The second week now should close around 50-51 crore nett as its likely the collections will fall under the 3 crore nett mark before the week is out and there will be some losses due to cinema day which will be covered on the Friday.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 30,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) had a very good second weekend of 37 crore nett which has taken the film to a running total of 180 crore nett. The second weekend was crucial for the film due to the lower business over weekdays but rock steady collections on the second Friday set it up for a strong weekend. The drop in Hindi is 64% from the first weekend which is very good for a film which opened so well. 

The growth on Sunday was limited but that was sort of expected as it had seen crazy growth on Saturday and it has a huge ratio of business coming from centers which do not tend to grow on Sunday. The film could see drops over the weekdays as ticket pricing will be coming back to base level at the multiplexes and its likely that ticket pricing alone will be 25-30% lower than the weekend.

The film is now a HIT and the fifth one post the pandemic after SOORYAVANSHI, GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI, THE KASHMIR FILES and BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2. The film will put up post pandemic highs in all circuits except Mumbai and CP Berar for an original Hindi film.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 14,75,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA has added 21 crore nett in dubbed languages which takes it all formats total to over 200 crore nett. There was a drop here in the second weekend but overall its done well in Telugu.

Week One - 18,82,00,000

Friday - 50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 80,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) had extraordinary growth on Saturday driven by Mumbai circuit which went up a crazy 85% on Saturday. The South also saw huge growth as the Hindi versions in Nizam/Andhra and Mysore as they grew around 75%. A mass circuit like CP Berar went up 70% which is pretty crazy for a single screen dominated circuit. The film collected 14 crore nett apprx on its second Saturday in Hindi.

Overall there was 70% growth for the Hindi version which is huge for a big film. Actually even many smaller releases have not been able to show this sort of growth post the pandemic on the second Saturday or in fact any Saturday, be it first, second or third. The film has come into its own in the second weekend and it may be the story of strong weekends and average weekdays due to the ratio of business coming from the bigger centres and also 3D version. This will probably be known by the results on Monday. 

The collections now stand at around 168 crore nett for the Hindi version and there is Sunday to come which would add well though the growth on Sunday could be less than normal as Saturday as grown so much. Even on a worse case scenario it is looking at a 37 crore nett second weekend which is a very good number though hopefully it should be more.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

First Week - 1,46,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA also become the first film to cross 20 crore nett in languages driven by decent numbers in Telugu which alone will comfortably cross 20 crore nett in two weeks.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA in dubbed format are as follows.

Week One - 18,82,00,000

Friday - 50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 80,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) did very well on its second Friday grossing around 8.25 crore nett which was more than the Thursday number. There was actually some some solid growth in the bigger centres dominated by multiplexes but the same was not replicated in smaller centres and single screens. The limited competition has helped but the content has to be working at some point for a film not to see a drop at the start of the second week especially when losing cinemas.

There has been a conjecture in the industry whether the film has been accepted but that was pretty clear on the growth on the first Saturday. Its just the acceptance is not across the board but probably limited to the top twenty cities. For a big film to be a BLOCKBUSTER, it needs acceptance all over but here its more about the bigger cities and multiplexes in general and these look like driving the film to  HIT status.

The business today (Saturday) should confirm the HIT status of the film as there will be solid growth as now the business is mainly dominated by multiplexes which should show strong growth on Saturday and generally run strong over weekends. The weaker collecting cinemas are not there now in the second week which bought the growth down last Saturday.

Despite not finding acceptance all over the circuit figures are good everywhere due to contribution from the bigger cities. Even a Bihar has comfortably crossed the 4 crore nett mark in week one on the strength of the 4-5 main cities and this is a good first week number in Bihar especially for a film which has not been taken to by the single screen audience. Bihar is a circuit dominated by single screens.

The collections of the film are now 154 crore nett plus in Hindi. The film also collected around 40-50 lakhs nett in dubbed languages which takes that version to 19 crore nett apprx and a total of 173 crore nett in all formats. The contribution from languages is mainly from Telugu which stands over 15 crore nett now.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

First Week - 1,46,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) did well on Wednesday as it collected around 9.25 crore nett for six day running total of almost 138 crore nett. The film behaved better on Wednesday as compared to Tuesday as the multiplexes held up better.

The film is going into that crucial period over the next three days (Thu - Sat) as this period will define its lifetime total. If it can hold up strongly on Thursday or Friday, it would be a good result for the film and then that big jump on Saturday has to come.

There is a huge open period over the next few weeks but that will only benefit BRAHMASTRA if it comes through this weekend with collections at a good level. The film is holding up best in Delhi/UP while collections in Nizam/Andhra will be the highest ever in a day or two. It has crossed the numbers of WAR and will cross DHOOM 3 anytime soon and DANGAL will probably be toppled on Saturday. 

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 31,00,00,000

Saturday - 35,00,00,000

Sunday - 38,50,00,000

Monday - 14,00,00,000

Tuesday - 11,00,00,000

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000

The five day total in all formats is around 157 crore nett across India as regional versions collect 18 crore nett in five days. It will be a 19 crore nett apprx week in regional.

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

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) has done good business in the first week as it collects over 146 crore nett. The film saw excellent business over the first weekend raking up over 100 crore nett without holiday support but the collections on the weekdays have been average.

There was a drop in collections on Monday and then it was normal trending barring the Tuesday where the film dropped more than it should have. Yet, the film had a healthy near 8 crore nett number coming on Thursday as even after drops the numbers remain solid due to the high starting point.

The next two days (Friday and Saturday) are crucial as these will basically determine where the film goes. The Mon - Thu collections of the film in Hindi have been almost ditto the collections of SOORYAVANSHI and if it can match or be similar to the numbers of the Akshay Kumar-starrer after the first week, then BRAHMASTRA will be a comfortable HIT. The first week ensure a success but now its about continuing to rack up the numbers over the next few weeks.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 31,00,00,000

Saturday - 35,00,00,000

Sunday - 38,50,00,000

Monday - 14,00,00,000

Tuesday - 11,00,00,000

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000

Thursday - 7,75,00,000

The first week total in all formats is around 165 crore nett plus across India as regional versions collect 18.75 crore nett.

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

BRAHMASTRA recorded the eight highest worldwide total for the first weekend for the Hindi version. The film collected a huge 189 crore nett in Hindi. This was second best total post the pandemic after KGF - CHAPTER 2 which did 198 crore.

Most of the films in the top ten are holiday releases with BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, SANJU and BRAHMASTRA being the only non holiday releases in the top ten. SULTAN, released in 2016, still leads the worldwide charts and that too six years after release. There are three 200 crore films with SULTAN, BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and SANJU and BRAHMASTRA could probably have joined the list with a holiday.

The worldwide collections of BRAHMASTRA is as follows. These are for the Hindi version only.

India Nett - 1,04,50,00,000

Overseas - $7,300,000

The top ten worldwide grossers in the opening weekend are as follows. This is also only for Hindi versions and like for like.

1. Sultan - 210 crore 

2. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 209 crore

3. Sanju - 204 crore

4. Dangal - 199 crore

5. KGF 2 - 198 crore

6. Dhoom 3 - 194 crore

7. Tiger Zinda Hai - 190 crore

9. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 187 crore

10. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 185 crore

If we take all formats then the film added another 24 crore gross across the world for a worldwide total of 213 crore in all versions

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) had a drop on Tuesday as collections went down 20% plus but still 11 crore nett is still a healthy collection and the film is looking at a first week of around 145 crore nett in Hindi. The collections of the film so far are around 128.50 crore nett which means only SOORYAVANSHI and BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 are ahead of it post pandemic for original Hindi films.

The collections saw similar drops all over in practically all the circuits and now it is about basically where the second Friday lands as that will give an idea about where the film will go. The film does not have much competition at the box office for a few weeks till the release of VIKRAM VEDHA. Even then, BRAHMASTRA can continue as all it will need is one screen at the multiplexes. But for that, it has to do good business over the second weekend. 

The issue for the film is the business in the B and C centres but what has happened is that be it East Punjab, Rajasthan, CI or Bihar, the A centres have given healthy numbers for the circuits numbers to be good.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 31,00,00,000

Saturday - 35,00,00,000

Sunday - 38,50,00,000

Monday - 14,00,00,000

Tuesday - 11,00,00,000

The five day total in all formats is around 145 crore nett across India as regional versions collect 16.75 crore nett in five days. It will be a 19 crore nett apprx week in regional.

BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) dropped 55% on Monday as it collected around the 14 crore nett mark. The film did see better holds in mass pockets like CI (45% drop) and UP (state) but this is more to do with that these places have fewer cinemas with big ticket price drops on Monday. With the big films, these places generally hold better till Wednesday.

The drop is little less than in actual value than it looks as Maharashtra had a semi holiday on Friday and that has taken a bigger hit Monday. Nizam/Andhra also got some benefit from the semi holiday but surprisingly that held up better compared to Maharashtra. The film here will now cruise past the record of DANGAL for a Hindi film in a week and may even challenge AVENGERS: ENDGAME which has the highest figure for a non South film.

It would have been better if the drop was on the other side of 50% on Monday but it put up a huge weekend total and appreciation was less in B and C centres. And with business where it is, you take a 14 crore nett Monday which is still better than the OPENING day of all original Hindi films barring SOORYAVANSHI.

Now it is about where the second Friday lands and hopefully it will be 50% of Monday or better which would put in course for another very good weekend. The numbers of the film are a huge boost to industry breaking many myths over the last few months. It would have been great if the film found appreciation across the board but that was not to be.

The collections of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 31,00,00,000

Saturday - 35,00,00,000

Sunday - 38,50,00,000

Monday - 14,00,00,000

The four day total in all formats is around 124 crore nett across India as regional versions collect 15.50 crore nett which is a record a for Hindi film. Normally there wouldn't be much coming from dubbed formats but this film can put up a decent number.

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

BRAHMASTRA saw excellent collections overseas as it collected around the $8 million mark which is comfortably the highest opening post the pandemic as no other film has crossed the $4 million mark. There are a few films with a $3 million plus weekend like SOORYAVANSHI, '83, KGF - CHAPTER 2 and LAAL SINGH CHADDHA but all were short of $4 million. This is also the sixth highest opening weekend of all time in Overseas though less if we take out Telugu.

The film was driven by the business in US/Canada which put an all time high of $4.5 million plus beating PADMAAVAT. But if we take out Telugu, then its the second highest opening ever after PADMAAVAT as that film did $4.4 million in Hindi alone. In Australia, it also took the fourth highest opening ever after PADMAAVAT, KGF - CHAPTER 2 and SANJU.

The performances were less in Gulf and United Kingdom but these markets are Muslim dominated and BRAHMASTRA had that Hindi mythology angle which would have kept some of this audience away. The record grosser overseas post pandemic is KGF - CHAPTER 2 with $9.1 million and this will cross that in the next couple of days. There will be a drop on weekdays as US/Canada will take a big hit.

The apprx collections of BRAHMASTRA overseas are as follows.

United Kingdom - £500,000 ($580,000)

USA / Canada - $4,550,000

Gulf - $1,200,000

Australia - A$903,000 ($620,000)

ROW - $1,150,000 apprx
