Week 1: Baby 53 cr; Dolly Ki Doli 13 cr


Box Office India Trade Network

BABY did below average business of 53 crore nett in week one and even this below average business came mainly as two circuits had a fair performance, Mumbai and Mysore being okay but the rest of the country did not perform.

The mass circuits like Rajasthan and CI were dull, for an Akshay Kumar starrer. In fact, they can be called a disaster as collections were in the range of smaller films like RAGINI MMS 2, YAARIYAN and MARY KOM. Mumbai circuit and Mysore had fair figures of 18.50 crore nett and 3.50 crore nett approx.

In Mysore the collections are the highest week one collections for an Akshay Kumar starrer in week one but when its a big film you don't want Mysore leading as it behaves differently most of the time from the more important higher contributing areas. North India where the action/thrillers especially the ones for multiplexes do well has not performed at all.
---------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI did poor business in week one of around 13 crore nett. The film was a little better in Delhi and East Punjab but even these circuits were poor. The other major collecting area Mumbai did not perform at all.

A similar film like KHOOBSURAT released last September was not much better in week one as it grossed 16 crore nett but that film had a better hold and went on to do lifetime business of 25.25 crore nett apprx. Here with DOLLY KI DOLI, a 20 crore nett final total looks impossible as occupancies were very low after the four day holiday weekend.

The film has probably been hit by the competition from BABY for 2.5-3 crore nett for the first week but that would not really have made much difference to the final outcome.

BABY grossed 4.75 crore nett on Tuesday which is okay considering Friday was 7.75 crore nett but basically the film had to hold stronger. Also the hold is coming mainly from Mumbai and Mysore while most other circuits are down which is not that good for long term. The five day business is 45.25 crore nett.

The film had decent word of mouth but only in the metros and these areas showed good growth in the holiday period. The other areas with weak word of mouth started low and just did not perform. The surprise is Gujarat which is the only mass area to perform and has grossed around 6 crore nett in five days.

Mumbai city, Thane and Pune are decent and that added to Gujarat means Mumbai circuit has done okay. Mysore is also good. East Punjab was decent over the weekend but fell on Tuesday. The rest are all pretty dull. The first week business will be around 53 crore nett which should have been its extended four day weekend business if it was to have a chance of emerging a hit.
------------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI grossed around 1 crore nett on Tuesday. Its not a bad total compared to day one but is low. The first five day collections are as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,35,00,000
Sunday - 3,00,00,000
Monday - 2,50,00,000
Tuesday - 1,00,00,000
TOTAL - 10,60,00,000

The film will gross around 12.50 crore nett for the week but the second week is likely to see a major drop.

BABY grossed 11.50 crore nett on Monday which was a holiday due to  Republic Day. The total so far is 40.50 crore nett. The film held best in Delhi/UP on Monday with collections same as Sunday. The first four day collections are as follows.
Friday - 7,75,00,000
Saturday - 9,00,00,000
Sunday - 12,50,00,000
Monday - 11,50,00,000
TOTAL - 40,50,00,000

The film has not really performed till now and needs a big Tuesday of around 7 crore nett for a decent 60 crore nett first week. If this happens then the second week can also be good but basically the damage has been done with the low figures till date.
----------------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI got advantage of the holiday on Monday and collections were good but considering the start, it needed Monday to be its best day. The first four day collections are as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,35,00,000
Sunday - 3,00,00,000
Monday - 2,50,00,000
TOTAL - 9,60,00,000

The film will need to be around its first day number on Tuesday to survive at the box office.

BABY had a decent Sunday as it grossed 12.50 crore nett taking its weekend total to 29 crore nett. The trend over the weekend is decent but the weekend total is low especially for film with a high cost. The weekend collections are as follows.
Friday - 7,75,00,000
Saturday - 9,00,00,000
Sunday - 12,50,00,000
TOTAL - 29,00,00,000

The best business has come in Mumbai and East Punjab circuits while Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI and Bihar are dull. The collections will be good on Monday due to a holiday for Republic Day but the film will have to hols very strong thereafter if it is to do decent or better business.
----------------------------
DOLLY KI DOLI started very poorly but has picked up on Saturday and Sunday but as starting point was so low the total collections remain low. The weekend collections are as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,35,00,000
Sunday - 3,00,00,000
TOTAL - 7,10,00,000

The film was best in Delhi NCR and East Punjab while places like CP Berar, West Bengal and Nizam Andhra were very dull. The film will need a strong Tuesday close to its opening day figure and then maintain at those levels to the end of the week which should give it enough showcasing in week two to put up a respectable lifetime total.

A solo release could have give a 30-40% better opening day and if it had this sort of growth from there it would have been a different story for the film.
