Week 1: Citylights 5.25 cr, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi 2.25 cr

KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI flopped badly as it grossed around 2.25 crore nett in week one. It had a low budget but that was irrelevant with such low collections.
CITYLIGHTS also flopped with poor collections of around 5.25 crore nett in week one. The film actually had steady collections on the weekdays but multiplex occupancies were so poor (10%) that it was always going to lose most of its show even if HOLIDAY - A SOLIDER IS NEVER OFF DUTY did not release. A similar costing flop film, HAWAA HAWAAI, which by coincidence was also released by the same distribution concern grossed 8.75 crore nett in its lifetime run and CITYLIGHTS will not even get close to that figure.

Citylights 50 lacs on Day 4; Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi 20 lacs

CITYLIGHTS and KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI continued with dull
business on Monday as the latter collected around 20 lakhs nett and the
former arond 50 lakhs nett.KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI had a very poor weekend in terms of collections and trend. So, it was never going to go anywhere. But CITYLIGHTS, although poor, had a decent trend over the weekend and so a decent Monday total could have taken it to at least a respectable figure.
But collections came down Monday as with such a low Friday
you have to have a similar Monday or better but for CITYLIGHTS it was
lower. The first week will be around 2.25-2.50 crore nett for KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI and 5-5.25 crore nett for CITYLIGHTS.
Citylights 3.25 cr in 3 days; Heropanti 43 cr in 10 days

CITYLIGHTS had a poor weekend of around 3.25 crore nett. There was growth on Saturday but with a starting point of not even 75 lakhs nett it had to be 100% plus growth and a repeat on Sunday. The film is the lowest opener for Vishesh Films since AWARAPAN in 2007 which collected under 3 crore nett in its first weekend.
The banner normally does well with small budget films but CITYLIGHTS is set to be one of the poorer performers. The business was best in Mumbai circuit. The approx first three day collections are as follows.
Friday - 65,00,000.
Saturday - 1,05,00,000
Sunday - 1,55,00,000
TOTAL- 3,25,00,000
The other release KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI had even worse results collecting around 1.50-1.75 crore nett and not even trending well over the weekend. The film is a low budget but collections don't even justify that low cost. The approx first three day collections are as follows.
Friday - 40,00,000.
Saturday - 50,00,000
Sunday - 60,00,00-85,00,000 (approx)
TOTAL- 1,50,00,000-1,75,000 (approx)
-----------------------------
HEROPANTI had a good weekend of around 7.75-8 crore nett taking its
ten day total to around 43 crore nett. The drop in the second weekend
was around 62% which is very good. It is better than most films
released this year barring the ones which sustained very well like QUEEN and 2 STATES.The film should now comfortably collect 50 crore nett lifetime business and maybe go even higher if third week does not totally capitulate due to the release of big budget HOLIDAY.
