CALENDAR GIRLS had a poor weekend as it grossed 4.25 crore nett. The writing was on the wall for the film on day one as it could not gross anything much despite it being a holiday. The collections were best on day one. The film has done a little better in Mumbai circuit. The budget is low for the film but the the film has done just 50% of what it should have leaving no chance of recovery.

The other release of the week BHAAG JOHNNY was a washout grossing around 70-75 lakhs nett over the weekend. The holdover of last week KATTI BATTI also crashed out with a 90% plus drop from last week. The film grossed around 1.25 crore nett taking its business to around 23 crore nett.

KATTI BATTI will stay below the 25 crore nett mark. The other release of last week MSG 2 - THE MESSENGER is a disaster although the drop in second weekend is less than KATTI BATTI, the film grossed only 4 crore nett in week one which gave it little hope of survival.
-------------------
CALENDAR GIRLS was poor on Monday with low collections. The drop is also almost 60% from Friday. The first four days of the first week for CALENDAR GIRLS are as follows.
Friday - 1,50,00,000
Saturday - 1,25,00,000
Sunday - 1,35,00,000
Monday - 65,00,000
TOTAL - 4,75,00,000
 
The first week will be around 6.25 crore nett and lifetime will close at 7 crore nett max.

KIS KISKO PYAAR KAROON had a very strong second day. The business of the film dropped 15% in places like Rajasthan, CI and Bihar but circuits like Delhi/UP and East Punjab managed to up a little despite day one being a holiday. The first two days business of KIS KISKO PYAAR KAROON are as follows.
Friday - 8,00,00,000
Saturday - 7,50,00,000
TOTAL - 15,50,00,000

CALENDAR GIRLS is a poor fare as collections dropped 20% on day two. The first two day collections are as follows.
Friday - 1,50,00,000
Saturday - 1,20,00,000
TOTAL - 2,70,00,000

KIS KISKO PYAAR KAROON is looking set for a good first day collection of around 7.5-8 crore nett. The film has been aided by a holiday for Bakri Eid but even taking that factor out which has probably added around 30-35% on the collections, its still a good start on real value.

The opening in terms of morning occupancies can be placed in a similar range to films like BROTHERS and TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS. The only films that actually opened better than Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon this year are BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, ABCD 2 and WELCOME BACK in terms of early show occupancies.

The film has done very well in North and Central India and Gujarat also scoring but the business on Saturday is crucial as it will come to its actual level without holiday backing. A similar number would be very good and even a drop of 15-20% will do but a larger drop will be a matter of concern.

CALENDAR GIRLS had poor first day with collections around 1.50 crore nett. The film is low budget but these collections are very low considering it was a holiday. The film fared very badly all over with Mumbai circuit having the best collections. BHAAG JOHNNY fared much worse with very bad collections as they may not even reach 25 lakhs nett.
