HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA did well in its first week as it grossed
around 50.66 crore nett in its first week. The film had a good opening
and held up very well on the weekdays in most circuits.
The best business has come in North India with Delhi/UP grossing nearly 12 crore nett and East Punjab going slightly over 6 crore nett. Rajasthan also did well grossing around 3.40 crore nett while Mumbai also held strongly over the weekdays despite an average start.
The business in East and South India is below the mark especially a circuit like Mysore which has grossed only 2 crore nett approx despite being a circuit dominated by multiplexes. The film does not have competition from a major release this week so it remains to be seen how much business it can do before KICK arrives next week.
---------------------
EK VILLAIN grossed 3.25-3.50 crore nett in its third week to take its business to 97 crore nett. The film was hit hard by the release of HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA which meant collections dropped nearly 85% from the second week.
The film will add around 1 crore nett more for a final total of 98 crore nett. The film has trended similar to Race 2 last year but as EK VILLAIN is less than half the cost of that film it is a very good result for it.
The film will be the biggest hit of the first half of 2014 as its share will just edge past the other super hit film of the year 2 States despite its nett collections being 3 crore less. This is because EK VILLAIN did more business initially when the shares are better.

Ek Villain won't cross 100 crore mark; Humpty Sharma good on Monday

HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA held well on Monday as it collected around
5.50 crore nett as per early estimates. Mumbai circuit held well as
there was a local holiday at some places in Gujarat. The business of the
film in four days is around 39.25 crore nett and it should gross around 50
crore nett in its first week.
North India and Rajasthan look likely to sustain best in the long run. There is no major competition this week so it should do well in its second week but the third week will see very little collections due to the release of KICK.
The film has not done too well in South and East India with even a multiplex circuit like Mysore not upto the mark but as contributions are not big from these areas it does not matter for a medium budget film like HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA.
----------------
EK VILLAIN dropped badly in the third weekend and the week is heading for business around 3.50 crore nett which will take it to around 97 crore nett after three weeks. The drop is around 85% from the previous weekend as a major film like HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA released.
The film will now not reach the 100 crore nett mark and finish at around the 98 crore nett mark. It will join films like SINGHAM, RACE 2, GRAND MASTI, RAAJNEETI and TALAASH, which also finished in the 90-100 crore nett range.
The film had an excellent opening but has not sustained too well. Delhi and Punjab sustained fairly well but the rest starting showing noticeable drops from the first Monday onwards. Still due to the huge initial and reasonable costs it is a Super Hit film and possibly the biggest hit of the first half of 2014.

Bobby Jasoos 10.75 cr in Week 1; Ek Villain 94 cr in 2 weeks

BOBBY JASOOS could not do well at the box office as it collected around 10.75 crore nett in its first week. The film started slowly and although it picked up on Saturday to the tune of 40% it was not enough as the starting point was too low.
The weekdays also did not perform well with dropping collections and every day was below 1 crore nett. The performance was poor all over - Nizam/Andhra could have been better as the film is set there but that circuit is affected by Ramadan for all films at present. The film will do little business in week two and is a flop.
-----------------------------
EK VILLAINS grossed 20.86 crore nett approx in its second week to take its two week business to around 94 crore nett. The second week business is the fourth best of the year after HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY, 2 STATES and JAI HO.
The film did mixed business in week two as some circuits held up pretty well while others fell badly. North India was best as East Punjab showed a 63% and Delhi/UP was similar but Rajasthan was down 75% and it was a similar story in Gujarat and other mass dominated circuits.
The third weekend will decide if it can cross the 100 crore nett mark and also whether it also emerges the biggest hit of the first half of 2014 which at the moment is 2 STATES.
Bobby Jasoos 7.50 cr in 3 days; Ek Villain 86.65 cr in 10 days

The two new releases of the could not fair well at the boxoffice. BOBBY JASOOS and LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL both fared poorly with BOBBY JASOOS coming out better but that is no consolation as collections are still low.
BOBBY JASOOS grossed around 7.50 crore nett approx in its first weekend and although there was growth of around 40% on Saturday it was more due to the low starting point. Sunday again grew but it made little difference as the first two days had not performed. The three day collections are as follows:
Friday 1.75 crore
Saturday 2.50 crore
Sunday 3.25 crore
LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL was a disaster in terms of collections as it hardly showed any growth over the weekend. The weekend collections were around the 1.50 crore nett mark.
--------------------
EK VILLAIN grossed 14 crore nett in its second weekend taking its business to a little under 87 crore nett. The film is holding best in North where the drops are around 65% while many circuits have dropped 75-80% from the first weekend. The breakdown for the second weekend is as follows
Friday - 3,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,50,00,000
Sunday - 6,00,00,000
EK VILLAIN may become the fourth 100 crore nett grosser of the year but it will be a close run thing. It will depend on how the film performs in week three and even possibly week four..
Ek Villain collects 72.65 cr in Week 1; Holiday 112 cr in 4 weeks

EK VILLAIN had a very good first week grossing 72.65 crore nett which is the second highest first week collection of the year after JAI HO. The film beat HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY which grossed around 68 crore nett.
The first week was very good but it was mainly due to the weekend as collections showed noticeable falls over the weekdays. It was a due to a mixture of things with Ramadan starting on Monday and the film only catering to the youth audience.
The collections maintained best in Delhi/UP and East Punjab with mass belts like CI, Rajasthan, Nizam and Gujarat falling fast on the weekdays. Still the film easily recovered its domestic theatrical cost with just the weekend business and could become a blockbuster film and the biggest hit of the first half of 2014.
----------------
EK VILLAIN is the second super hit film of the year of 2 STATES though it remains to be seen if it becomes the biggest hit of the year till date by crossing the business of 2 STATES. The top grosser of the first half will remain HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY as EK VILLAIN will not go towards the 110 crore nett mark.
The film collected around 3.50 crore nett on its second Friday which is a fairly big drop of 75% from day one. The film benefited from two weak releases otherwise the drop could have been more.
The film should have solid growth on Saturday and Sunday but is unlikely to challenge the second week figures of films like HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY and 2 STATES. The second week business of JAI HO may also be out of reach for EK VILLAIN. The lifetime business of the film may hit 100 crore nett but that remains to be seen.
----------------
HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY grossed around 2 crore nett in week four taking its business to 112 crore nett. The film is now comfortably the biggest grosser of the first half of 2014.
----------------
According to Box Office India trade magazine, HUMSHAKALS collected 4.25 crore in it's second week. This takes it's fourteen day collections to 55.30 crore.

EK VILLAIN grossed a huge 49 crore nett in its first weekend which
makes it the second best opening weekend total of the year after JAI HO
which had the advantage of Republic Day holiday.
The film put up excellent numbers all over and although there was not much growth over the weekend but that was more to do with the big initial it took on day one. There was limited growth on Sunday because the Sunday growth is driven mainly by families and EK VILLAIN is not really for the family audience.
The weekend figures were much higher than films like GUNDAY, HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY and 2 STATES. The approx daily collections for the weekend were as follows.
Friday - 16,50,00,000
Saturday - 15,50,00,000
Sunday - 17,00,00,000
TOTAL - 49,00,00,000
------------------------------
EK VILLAIN had a very good Monday as it collected 7.75 crore nett approx taking its total to a little under 57 crore nett. The drop from Friday was a little over 50% but that is okay as the film took a strong opening.
The film held up will at multiplexes especially in the North but mass areas did see a fall in collections with some centres falling 60%. This could be as it is the first working day since the start of Ramadan and hence there is less appreciation in mass centres.
Despite some areas not doing so well on Monday the numbers are still huge and the film is a winner and the week should finish around 75 crore nett which is an excellent first week total.
------------------------------
EK VILLAIN had a good Tuesday as it collected around 6.25-6.50 crore nett but collections have had a noticeable drop from Monday. Circuits like CP Berar, Rajasthan, Nizam and Gujarat have come off quite a bit from the levels over the weekend.
The drop is 15-20% from Monday which is a bit more than normal especially as Monday drop was also more than 50% from Friday. The film is being driven by business in Delhi/UP and East Punjab especially the multiplexes in these two circuits.
The first week business will be around 73-74 crore nett which is still a huge number despite the weekdays not performing as well as the weekend. The film is a medium budget film and its domestic theatrical price was covered by just the three day weekend business of the film.

WILL VIDYA REPEAT A KAHAANI WITH BOBBY JASOOS?
Even in today’s times, it is difficult for an actress to single-handedly attract viewers in hordes for a film. But Vidya Balan is an exception. She was terrific in The Dirty Picture and it’s success helped her in Kahaani, where she played a pregnant woman and which became one of the biggest hits of 2012. Hence, nobody is questioning the prospects of Bobby Jasoos, which releases tomorrow and which sees Vidya in the lead role. After all, it’s a Vidya Balan film and hence one never knows, it might turn out to be a sleeper hit!
Bobby Jasoos features Vidya as a detective based in Hyderabad. The highlight of the film is that Vidya has 12 disguises and each one is brilliantly done. In fact, the first look of the film showed Vidya dressed as a beggar and it wowed one and all as Vidya looked completely unrecognizable! Besides Vidya, the film stars Ali Fazal, Supriya Pathak, Zarina Wahab, Tanve Azmi, Rajendra Gupta and Kiran Kumar. However, from the promos it is evident that it’s Vidya who is completely the backbone of the film. Also from the trailers, it looks like a fun entertainer. Moreover, it’s a clean film (it has been granted ‘U’ certificate by the Censors) and hence, it is a family entertainer.
Bobby Jasoos sadly has quite a few challenges to face. The buzz is limited and this would surely impact the collections. The songs of the film haven’t worked significantly. Also, one wonders why the film, which has a strong Muslim setting, is releasing during the Holy month of Ramadan when the Muslims don’t normally venture out to see movies. A good word of mouth will help the collections grow but a negative response will prove to be detrimental.
The other release of the week is Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, which marks the directorial debut of Imtiaz Ali’s brother Arif. It is the launch vehicle of Raj Kapoor’s fourth grandson Armaan Jain and South actress Deeksha Seth. The trailer of the film has been appreciated but what has helped the film significantly is its beautiful music composed by A R Rahman. Though Saif Ali Khan has co-produced the film, he hasn’t really come out to talk about the film and has allowed the newcomers to promote. Though for a music concert, Armaan’s cousins – Kareena and Karisma Kapoor – were present. Just like Bobby Jasoos, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil will have a poor opening and a good word of mouth is what can only help the movie.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE BOBBY JASOOS OR LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL AND WHY? DO LET ME KNOW!
------------------------
EK VILLAIN IS A SUCCESS!
The buzz for Ek Villain was high and hence everyone knew that a huge opening was on the cards. But the manner in which Ek Villain opened to full houses from the morning shows itself stumped even the producers of the film. The first day collections of the film came to around 16.50 crore. This is the 11th highest opening figure of all time and higher than the first day collections of Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela and Gunday. This is huge for a film that stars Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh – the first two are newcomers and still don’t have that kind of a pull as the Khans while the latter has given hits only in multi-starrers/sex comedies.
However, the real hero of the film was its soulful music. Galliyan turned out to be a huge chartbuster from the day it was launched and the other songs too found acceptance. In fact, the success of Ek Villain and Aashiqui 2 proves that it’s the soulful songs and not necessarily item songs that help in creating excitement for a film. Are producers/music composers listening?
Ek Villain will cross 75 crore mark by the end of its first week. It can cross the 100 crore mark as well, if the second week is strong. Sadly, it might not happen as the response for the film is mixed. Even then, what the team of Ek Villain has achieved is incredible and kudos to them!
Ek Villain collects 16.50 cr on Day 1; 11th biggest opening of all time

EK VILLAIN had an excellent first day as it recorded collections of 16.50 crore nett on day one. The all India collections were similar
to JAI HO with multiplexes being better and single screens less. The
film is the first big real opener of the year as JAI HO had a wider release
and although collections were good they could should have been better
for its release.
The collections were fantastic all over with some circuits recording the highest collections for the year. Delhi/UP, East Punjab (despite competition from Punjabi film PUNJAB 1984) and Mysore were all better than JJAI HO and tops for the year. West Bengal may also make to this list.
The opening day ensures its success and its remains to be seen how big of a lifetime number it finally puts up. The first day was always expected to be huge but it has actually come out a couple of crore more than the huge expectations which is rare.
--------------------------
EK VILLAIN recorded one of highest opening days ever with business of around 16.50 crore nett which is similar to the figures recorded by JAI HO earlier this year. The film is the eleventh highest opening day of all time.
It can be noted that the films above JAI HO all feature one of the five biggest box office stars of the country - Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor - which makes EK VILLAIN figure all the more impressive.
Also some of the releases above EK VILLAIN are holiday releases which is an extra advantage. The top three films - DHOOM 3, EK THA TIGER and CHENNAI EXPRESS - stand apart with totals in excess of 30 crore nett. Below are the top fifteen domestic opening days of all time lifetime till date.
