MARJAAVAAN had a decent first week as it collected 36.75 crore nett. The film had a fair start and did well on Sunday and then the hold was also good on Monday but over the weekdays, the falls are a little higher than normal as everyday it was falling in the 15% range.

MARJAAVAAN scored in the mass centres of UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI, Maharashtra and Nizam while other areas were not so good especially Delhi NCR and East Punjab where the film has not worked at all. The second Friday has to hold very well if the film is to become a HIT but with PAGALPANTI releasing and with those weekday drops, the more likely scenario is an AVERAGR/SEMI HIT type of success which is still a good result for this film.

The collections of MARJAAVAAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 9,75,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 36,75,00,000 apprx

MARJAAVAAN had a decent Tuesday as it collected 3.50 crore nett and took its five day total to almost 31 crore nett. There is a 15% drop on Tuesday but that is okay as its only 50% down from day one on Tuesday when that could have easily have happened on Monday.

The first week should be around 37 crore nett or close to it and then there will be the crucial second Friday. The film is doing well in UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan and Maharashtra and its going to be how well the film can hold screens there. The film has the best single screens in these areas and PAGALPANTI will also want these single screens which could mean that MARJAAVAAN goes to the lesser collecting single screens in these circuits.

The collections of MARJAAVAAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 30,75,00,000 apprx

MOTICHOOR CHAKNACHOOR will collect a little over 2 crore nett in its first week.

MARJAAVAAN is a successful film as it held up well on Monday to collect 4 crore nett. The drop from Friday was just a little above 40% as it generally held up well all over. The business in four days is 27.75 crore and it should do a first week of 37-38 crore nett.

The film dropped in Delhi NCR and Punjab but the rest of India held well, even the multiplexes of Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata. Although they were at low levels on Friday the drops are around 40% unlike Delhi NCR and East Punjab which is also multiplex heavy but saw a drop of 50% plus and here also Friday was low. If the film can hold well on the second Friday it can even become a HIT but there will be competition especially in mass belts from PAGALPANTI.

The collections of MARJAAVAAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 27,25,00,000 apprx

MARJAAVAAN had a decent weekend with figures of 23.75 crore nett and the film scored well on Sunday to be around the 10 crore nett mark. The jump on Sunday was very good as markets showed growth of 50% be it Gujarat/Saurashtra or CP, CI Rajasthan. The metros of Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc have not done too well but that is sort of expected with a film like this.

The film does have the best ratio of business from single screens this year with around 70% from multiplexes and 30% from single screens. The only film which has a ratio close to this film at single screens is SAAHO. The test will be if these mass belts can hold on Monday and if the film can show a drop of under 50%, it should be able to do reasonably well at box office. The film has the best weekend results for a Siddharth Malhotra starrer since KAPOOR & SONS which did around 25 crore nett.

The collections of MARJAAVAAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 23,75,00,000 apprx

MOTICHOOR CHAKNACHOOR had a poor weekend with collections under 1.50 crore nett.

TOTAL - 1,40,00,000 apprx

MARJAAVAAN maintained decent collections on its second day although there was no growth but this is because of the business profile of this film. If the film was a urban multiplex film then it would be lights out if Saturday behaved like this but as most of the business is coming from smaller centres, its done pretty well not to drop on Saturday.

The film collected 7 crore nett apprx on day two which is the same as day one. There will be growth in Mumbai circuit as the final number should be 15-20 lakhs nett higher than Friday. The drops for the film are mainly in UP and Bihar as they had good collections on day one. The mass markets of Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI were flat on Saturday and these circuits having a similar Saturday trend as East Punjab or West Bengal is a plus. The holds in mass markets on Monday will determine the fate of this film.

The collections of MARJAAVAAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 14,00,00,000 apprx

MOTICHOOR CHAKNACHOOR showed growth on Saturday but collections are very low as the film has not even hit the 1 crore nett mark in two days.
