DHAMAAL 4 held up strong in its second weekend as it collected over 27 crore nett in its second weekend and now stands at 122 crore nett after ten days. The film held well up on the second Friday with a minimal drop and then Saturday and Sunday really fired as the families came back and hit double digits on both days. The growth was outstanding on Saturday and despite this huge growth on Saturday, it still went up very well on Sunday.

This weekend business gives potential for good weekday holds this week. If we compare with WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, then that film did around 30 crore nett plus over the whole second week and it could be that DHAMAAL 4 does what WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE did in the whole week in just four days. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE had ALPHA for competition while DHAMAAL 4 has THE ODYSSEY. Although it will not look like it it on paper as THE ODYSSEY is a HIT but ALPHA was the bigger competition as it was a Hindi film.

DHAMAAL 4 remained pretty much unaffected by THE ODYSSEY as collections across the Hindi speaking circuits were far better for DHAMAAL 4. The film is doing superb business in Mumbai circuit especially Gujarat/Saurashtra and continues the trend of Indra Kumar films scoring big in Gujarat since the days of DIL in 1990. Mumbai circuit stands at 40 crore nett and will easily go over 50 crore nett and maybe even cross the 55 crore nett of TOTAL DHAMAAL.

The collections of DHAMAAL 4 till date are as follows.

Friday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 28,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 6,75,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,00,00,000 apprx

DHAMAAL 4 had a normal second Monday as it fell around 43% from Friday. Considering the weekend growth, it could have been on the right side of 40% but that does not matter much now. The film stands at 125 crore nett after 11 days and should be around 133 crore nett by the end of the week as it tries to chase down the figure of the last DHAMAAL film (150 crore nett).

The second week has collected 30 crore nett in four days and it should end with around 38 crore nett. The film does have discounted rates this week and it jumped well last week without them. So, the growth should be much better this week. But its hard to tell how this works and its a week to week thing. This is because some Tuesdays see more growth and others less.

The collections of DHAMAAL 4 till date are as follows.

Friday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 12,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

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

DHAMAAL 4 showed a good jump on Tuesday due to the discounted rates with collections of 3.75 crore nett which now takes the second week collections to 34 crore nett. The second week should end in the 38-39 crore nett range. This would make it the fourth best second week after DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, BORDER 2 and BHOOTH BANGLA, though there is an outside chance it could beat BHOOTH BANGLA.

The overall total stands at 129 crore nett and after the collections today, it will go ahead of the figures of WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. The target is to cross the 150 crore nett mark and it may achieve that by the end of the third week depending on the drop this Friday. There is no major release though many small films are releasing.

DHAMAAL 4 had a good second week collecting 38.50 crore nett which is a 60% apprx drop from the first week. The film now stands at 133 crore nett and the 150 crore nett business of TOTAL DHAMAAL should be easily achievable from here. The film faces little competition this week which should hold up its collections well.

The drops for the film have come on Wednesday and Thursday and this coupled with no major release will mean a good hold on the third Friday. There is SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY next week but by that time, the business of DHAMAAL 4 will be done and it will be down to under 1 crore nett daily levels. The lifetime of the film at present looks in he 155 crore nett range.

The collections of DHAMAAL 4 till date are as follows.

Friday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

DHAMAAL 4 is set for another good week as it collected 2.25 crore nett on its third Friday. The film now stands 135.50 crore nett and is sure to be the biggest film of the DHAMAAL series. This is a solid result as in terms of scale and cast, this film is weaker than the last DHAMAAL film and yet, it is coming out with a better number. The film continues to score well in Mumbai circuit and should be around 50 crore nett by the end of the weekend.

DHAMAAL 4 had an excellent Saturday as collections almost doubled up as it collected 10 crore nett which takes the film to around 110 crore nett in nine days. The film is super strong in mass belts but even at metros, the jump was huge on Saturday despite the competition of THE ODYSSEY which is doing fantastic in these centres.

The film consolidated the Friday hold very well on Saturday. In the Hindi circuits, THE ODYSSEY is not competition as, on Saturday, DHAMAAL 4 was ahead across UP, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar and Gujarat. The film has 15.25 crore nett up on the board over two days of the second week and there will be a big Sunday to come.

THE ODYSSEY is set to emerge a HIT film in India at the very least as collections jumped well on Saturday as it collected 20.75 crore nett after collecting 16 crore nett on Friday taking its total to 36.75 crore nett. The growth is 30% but its a premiere format film and many of these properties are getting full in advance. So, there is a limit to the growth as much of the audience of this film wants to watch in these premiere formats and this can be seen by the advance for Monday in these properties.

The director of the film Christopher Nolan has a following in the metros of India be it North or South and its rare for this to happen. In the South, it happens but in Hindi markets, its rare. It may only be the likes of Mumbai, Pune and NCR but there is no Hindi film director today who has such a name and can pull audiences in even in these cities.

The collections of THE ODYSSEY over the first two days are as follows.

Friday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,75,00,000 apprx

DHAMAAL 4 had a good first week collecting almost 95 crore nett as it scored a good weekend and then has also held up well over the weekdays though there was a noticeable fall on the last two days of the week. The first week has turned out a little better than WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE and it should also do more than that film post week one.

It was DHAMAAL 4 which stopped WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE becoming a bonafide HIT as collections dropped on the third Friday due to the release of the former. DHAMAAL 4 was also for the same audience with minor regionality difference. This should not be an issue for DHAMAAL 4 as it should complete a solid 3-4 week run and emerge a HIT. If this happens, it will be only HIT of this summer season and the fourth HIT film of the year.

The film got a big thumbs down from the media and the digital world and even most of the industry is looking at as a poor film. But when the audience may well take the film to 150 crore nett, then what does it matter what is being said as whatever the makers did was right and the rest can go and jump in a well as its always about the WATCHERS and not TALKERS. If it was about the TALKERS, then a film like MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA would have done double or treble or even more of what it is doing now.

The collections of DHAMAAL 4 till date are as follows.

Friday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 28,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9.50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 6,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

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

DHAMAAL 4 had a very good hold on its second Friday as it collected 5.25 crore nett which is just a 10% drop from the Thursday despite competition from a big release from Hollywood like THE ODYSSEY. But THE ODYSSEY could not make much of a mark in the Hindi speaking circuits which meant DHAMAAL 4 was not affected much in these places.

The second Friday number confirms that DHAMAAL 4 is a HIT and it will get through week three comfortably which WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE could not. The next text will be SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY in the fourth week, which will hit it more than THE ODYSSEY. But by then, the job will will be done for DHAMAAL 4 and collections will be at lower levels.

The collections of DHAMAAL 4 till date are as follows.

Friday - 14,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,50,00,000 apprx
