KATTI BATTI had a poor first week grossing 21.75 crore nett. The best day for the film was practically the first day and that has probably never happened for a metro film.

The collections dropped badly on Monday and is out of most theatres this week. No territory fared well though comparatively the film did better in Delhi/UP and East Punjab due to the NCR area. Delhi /UP grossed 5.50 crore nett apprx and East Punjab grossed 3 crore nett apprx. The film was set in the Mumbai Pune area but it fared very poorly in Mumbai circuit with business of 6.25 crore nett. The lifetime business of the film will close below 25 crore nett.

The two other releases of last week - MEERUTHIYA GANGSTERS and MSG 2 - THE MESSENGER - fared very poorly with the latter collecting a little in Delhi and Haryana but hardly anything elsewhere.

KATTI BATTI had a low weekend and more importantly the film had no trend. The film collected around 5.25 crore nett on all three days of the weekend. The opening day was fair as evenings picked up but Saturday and Sunday also remained at those same levels. This is very rare for urban films as its hard to remember one which did not improve collections on Saturday by at least 10%. The weekend total is 15.75 crore nett

This sort of film should have gone near 20 crore nett for the weeknd from the start it got. The best business has come in the Delhi NCR belt with Delhi /UP hitting 3.75 crore nett and East Punjab grossing 2.10 crore nett. Mumbai was a poor 4.50 crore nett.

The trend means that Monday will be tough and that normal 50% Monday drop looks impossible considering Sunday is similar to Friday. It was the 18th best weekend of the year.
-----------------------
KATTI BATTI crashed out on Monday which was likely to happen considering the weekend trend. The film dropped around 65% from day one. The first four days of the first week  for Katti Batti are as follows.
Friday - 5,25,00,000
Saturday - 5,25,00,000
Sunday - 5,25,00,000
Monday 1,85,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 17,60,00,000

The first week will be around 22 crore nett and it will be a struggle for the film to hit 25 crore nett.

KATTI BATTI struggled on its second day as the film failed to grow. Saturday growth is a must for urban films and it's rare to see one not going up. The first two days of week two for KATTI BATTI are as follows.
Friday - 5,25,00,000
Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,25,00,000

The film needed to be at 6.5-7 crore nett on Saturday and is far less which means no appreciation amongst it's target audience which was the metros.
