NEERJA dropped 60% in the third week but that is mainly due to its entertainment tax free status. On the gross figures the drop is much at around 70% plus. The business of NEERJA till date is as follows
Week One - 35,29,00,000
Week Two - 21,52,00,000
Week Three - 8,50,00,000 apprx
Total - 65,31,00,000

The tax free status and weak competition especially as far as business in the metro multiplexes are concerned has enabled it a good run for three weeks and it should have another week to put up another decent week

NEERJA benefited from the holiday for Mahashivratri in many parts of the country on its third Monday. The collections were almost similar to its third Friday. The four day third week business of NEERJA is as follows
Friday - 1,00,00,000
Saturday - 2,00,00,000
Sunday - 2,50,00,000
Monday - 90,00,000
Total - 6,40,00,000

The total for the film so far is 63 crore nett plus. The third week business will be around 8.25 crore nett

NEERJA showed a drop in collections in the third weekend as it grossed around 5.50 crore nett. The drop is around 60% plus but if we factor in the tax free status in most of the country the drop is much higher in terms of gross collections. The film is best in Mumbai circuit. The business of NEERJA till date is as follows
Week One - 35,29,00,000
Week Two - 21,52,00,000
Third Weekend - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Total - 62,31,00,000

The business in terms of nett collections is now on par with QUEEN and MARY KOM and the gross is also higher than the latter but the gross numbers are less than QUEEN

NEERJA dropped for the first time in its run as it grossed 1-1.25 crore nett on its third Friday. The film dropped around 60% from last Friday and 20% from its second Thursday despite weekend ticket rates on third Friday. The total of the film is around 57.50 crore nett in eight days which is similar to KAHAANI though gross business is lower. Despite the drop it should get to around 70 crore nett for lifetime business.

The film has got tax exemption in Rajasthan but hardly matters now as collections are practically nothing outside Jaipur and even Jaipur is weak. The tax exemption will not make much difference in Rajasthan as it did with Mumbai city and Delhi city.

The film has taken full advantage of the tax exemptions in crucial cities and got a good clear run with weak competition to finish with a very good lifetime total.
