GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI had an excellent second week collecting almost 35 crore nett and taking it over the 100 crore nett mark to a total of 101.50 crore nett. The drop is only 47% in week two which is superb considering the holiday period in week one.

The film continued to be superb in Mumbai circuit as it hit the 40 crore nett mark and now looks like it can go to 50 crore nett in the circuit as both Maharashtra and Gujarat perform very well. The holds in the North are good too though the business is at a lower level. This is the case with most films of Sanjay Leela Bhansali barring DEVDAS and PADMAAVAT.

The third Friday will tell where the film is going and there has been a drop this morning but but it will get stronger from the evening and will give competition to the new releases over the weekend. GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI still has legs and 125 crore nett business at the end of its run is a possibility.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.

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

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI is heading towards the 200 crore mark worldwide as it scores equally well overseas as in India. The film has crossed the $5.5 mark in overseas and is looking to settle at around $5.75 million after two weeks.

The film is being driven by USA/Canada which will be $2.5 million after two weeks. Gulf has also sustained well with collections now crossing $1 million despite not being released in a couple of countries and a slow start in UAE. The United Kingdom is at £500k plus and it may well become the biggest Hindi film here post the pandemic.

A $7 million number in overseas markets looks there for the film as the drop in second week is only 45% and even if there is a bigger drop in week three it will still get there. It will probably finish in the 55 crore range overseas. So a 120 crore nett finish in India will mean 200 crore worldwide.

The second week is looking to close at around 162-163 crore. SOORYAVANSHI grossed 297 crore worldwide while '83 (Hindi) did 187 crore. The top Alia Bhatt film worldwide is surprisingly GULLY BOY at 230 crore but that is because there are no films with the bigger male stars.

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI showed a jump in collections on Tuesday as footfalls went up in multiplexes and it is said to be due to Women's Day. The growth came mostly from the major multiplexes and the film collected around 3.75 crore nett on its second Tuesday. 

This takes the business of the film to 95.75 crore nett and it should hit the 100 crore nett mark by the end of the week. The second week of the film is going to be in the 34 crore nett range which is an excellent number. GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI is heading for the 115 crore nett mark at least and it could even cross 120 crore nett.

The way this film has collected over the first two weeks, it makes it look like the pandemic has hardly hit business. There are cities which are not performing like they were in 2019 and for some its because of closed theatres and others have a lesser audience at present. But with this film that becomes hard to tell as even before pandemic the expectations would have been around 125 crore nett for this film and it will get close to that now.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.

Week One - 66,72,00,000

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI maintained its good run as it collected 3.25-3.50 crore nett on its second Monday to take its overall total to 92 crore nett. The second week collections are now over 25 crore nett and it will easily go over the 30 crore nett mark. 

It will joining the 40 odd films to go over 30 crore nett in week two and be the second one to go over 30 crore nett post the pandemic after SOORYAVANSHI. The film is also on course to beat the numbers of SOORYAVANSHI in Mysore making it the top grosser there post the pandemic. 

The lifetime business of the film will depend on the third week when there will be the release of bilingual RADHE SHYAM, THE KASHMIR FILMES and two dubbed South films are also expected. It is RADHE SHYAM which will be the main competition and the market expects good numbers. But box office never cares for expectations so it remains to be seen how this film affects GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.

Week One - 66,72,00,000 

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI had a very good second weekend of 22 crore nett plus as it managed to be collect more than the main new release THE BATMAN over the weekend. The drop in the second weekend is just 40% from the first weekend which is an excellent trend.

This 40% drop is unlikely to last through the week as it was a holiday period on the weekdays last week but if it shows a 50% drop at the end of the week that itself would be great. GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI has so far collected 89 crore nett and has a chance of being around the 100 crore nett mark at the end of two weeks.

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI remains strong in Mumbai circuit with business after ten days at around 34 crore nett. The Delhi/UP collections are around 14 crore nett as UP has a so so performance and the 20 crore nett mark maybe out of reach unless NCR sustains very well over the next few weeks.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.

Week One - 66,72,00,000 

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI has done excellent business on its second Saturday as it grossed 7.75 crore nett taking its overall total almost 79 crore nett. The growth was excellent all over on Saturday and the film has chances of hitting double digits on Sunday. If that happens, it could close the second week with 100 crore nett up on the board.

THE BATMAN is doing good business as it collected 7.50 crore nett on Saturday takings it total to 14 crore nett including Friday and IMAX paid previews. The growth for THE BATMAN was around 30-35% as the film is doing very well in high end properties. But they were strong on day one itself and so the growth here was going to be limited. Despite collecting mainly in metros only, the numbers remain good. 

JHUND collected around 1.50 crore nett on Saturday which was growth in the 65% region and took its two day total to 2.40 crore nett but it was not good enough. The film probably had to double up due to the low first day. The best collections remain in Maharashtra but even here the film is not faring that well as the collections of Marathi film PAWANKHIND across the state are far higher despite being in third weekend. 

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI is holding up very well at the box office as it collected 4.50 crore nett on its second Friday which takes the film to 71 crore nett in eight days and it has plenty of gas left in the tank yet. The drop is 53% from day one which is excellent and gives the film a good chance of a 30 crore nett apprx second week depending on what sort of growth it will get over the weekend..

The competition from THE BATMAN is mainly in metros. So, GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI has places like Gujarat and Central circuits to itself and these places will show huge jumps especially on Sunday. The 100 crore nett mark will be comfortably crossed by GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI and the lifetime will depend on what its gets in week three.

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI suffered due to the pandemic as its budget went up but with good theatricals in India and Overseas the film will comfortably be in the black. The worldwide theatrical share of the film will be 70 crore on a worst case scenario and the film could finish with revenue of around 190 crore from all revenue sources.
