BADASS RAVI KUMAR dropped on the second day which was likely going by the trend on day one as it should have a collected a little more than the start it got. The two day collections of the film are 4 crore nett which is reasonable for this type of film but the trend is not there for the film.

The two day numbers are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000

Saturday - 1,75,00,000

LOVEYAPA showed a jump on business on its second day as it collected 1.50 crore nett which takes it collections to 2.50 crore nett over two days and this is basically not good enough for the film. SANAM TERI KASAM would have taken a lot of this audience for the film.

BADASS RAVI KUMAR collected 5.25 crore nett over the weekend as it saw dropping collections. The film had some hope on day one as it did get a decent crowd in certain cinemas and these are cinemas where the booking elements don't reach. But it was downwards straight away probably due to the spoof angle. The best turnout was on the noon show on the first day.

The film has actually done better in a center like Mumbai city which is probably taking it like a spoof and comedy but that will not be enough on this trend even though the film has a low budget. If the film could have got into double digits, it would have been a huge result in this market but that is unlikely to happen now as mass circuits offer no support whatsoever.

The weekend collections of BADASS RAVI KUMAR are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000

Saturday - 1,75,00,000

Sunday - 1,25,00,000

LOVEYAPA has fared poorly with a 4.25 crore nett weekend with lower collections than BADASS RAVI KUMAR but the trend is better. Hence, it should do a better over the weekdays. The film has higher costs than BADASS RAVI KUMAR due to a marketing spend which did not yield results. The only target for this film is to finish ahead of BADASS RAVI KUMAR but even if it manages to do so, it hardly a victory.

The weekend numbers of LOVEYAPA are as follows.

Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

BADASS RAVI KUMAR saw a huge drop in business on day four which was on the cards going by the trend over the weekend. The film is looking to collect a little over 6 crore nett in its first week and that will be it for the film. The film had a chance on mass appeal possibly due to music but that audience has not liked the film.

LOVEYAPA is now doing better than BADASS RAVI KUMAR though overall collections remain less. This film will also end the week at 6 crore nett though it may add minor amounts in the second week which should take it ahead of BADASS RAVI KUMAR though it hardly matters as the film has higher costs. 

The collections of LOVEYAPA till date are as follows.

Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx 

Sunday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 55,00,000 apprx

BADASS RAVI KUMAR had a decent first day as it collected around 2.25 crore nett on its first day helped by collections in ceratin mass pockets especially in Mumbai circuit. The film opened better and it looked like a near 3 crore nett number in the morning. But it had to settle for less as the film did not really push post the afternoon.

Still, its a solid number as its a small budget film and has managed to get a decent audience into the theatres for the size of the film in this tough scenario today. The issue may well be to go on from here as you have an audience in the metros watching it as a spoof and comedy. They are taking the film for as it is but the mass audience is coming for a masala film and then not taking well to it being a spoof type of film.

LOVEYAPA collected under 1 crore nett on day with collections in the the 75 lakhs nett range and this collection has come up with a pick up in collections post the morning shows as in the morning it looked like 50 lakhs nett will be struggle. This means the film will improve today but where do you go from such a bad start.

The film had a huge marketing campaign which has yielded no results and just pushed the costs up of the film. BADASS RAVI KUMAR had limited marketing but got better results as its units held interest with its target audience.

LOVEYAPA is a remake of a Tamil film and that may have some affect but its hard to tell if the original Tamil film reached this niche urban audience.
