Puaada collects 3.89 cr in Week 1
8:30 AM
Box Office India Trade Network
PUAADA has done very well in week one as it collected a little under 4 crore nett in its eight day first week and this has come from just 60 odd cinemas and it started day one with just 50. The drop was there on Thursday because of the release of BELLBOTTOM but the film has found appreciation and will continue to its rock steady run again.
The collections in the four main cities (Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar) are simply outstanding despite some cinemas being shut. The first week numbers are far higher than anything released post the pandemic and even higher than any film released in 2020 in some of the multiplexes in these cities. The key PVR property in Mohali is now coming into play from today which is the highest collecting cinema for Punjabi films. The SRS chain which went bankrupt will have its Ludhiana property started up again by another party and this reflects how the film has got the market going again in Punjab.
The nett collections of PUAADA in India are as follows.
Thursday - 51,00,000
Friday - 46,00,000
Saturday - 70,00,000
Sunday - 83,00,000
Monday - 40,00,000
Tuesday - 38,00,000
Wednesday - 36,00,000
Thursday - 25,00,000
GRAND TOTAL - 3,89,00,000
--------------------
PUAADA put up fantastic first week numbers in Punjab and extraordinary numbers in the four big cities. The public came out pretty much as normal for the comedy entertainer though the occupancy rule and limited release held back numbers but no doubt it will make some ground over the coming weeks.
The audience has come out in good numbers though collections may only be what the box office allows but at the end of the day the film is running strongly. PUAADA was even getting more footfalls than BELLBOTTOM on Thursday in most cities of Punjab even though it was day eight. The collections may have been less but that is down to higher ticket rates for BELLBOTTOM due to 3D.
The four big centres did extremely well but the best performance actually came at Cinepolis Mittal in Bhatinda which collected a huge 12.03 lakh in just five and a half days as it started Saturday afternoon. There were 12 cinemas in total which crossed 10 lakhs nett which is huge for the present time.
The film did not get a release in many of non national chain multiplexes of the state and most of these would have shown outstanding collections. A core Punjabi film loving centre like Moga did not even see a release. The film has got the Punjab market going and now even centres in Himachal Pradesh like Solan, Kullu, Surendranagar, Hamirpur etc will start with the film this week.
The figures of PUAADA from the four biggest cities of Punjab are as follows.

Puaada collects 2.90 cr in 5 days

PUAADA had a strong hold on Monday as it collected 40 lakhs nett. The hold in East Punjab was excellent as the drop was mainly in multiplexes which had high collections over the weekend and this is because of the ticket price drop. There were some properties which collected more than Thursday and Friday.
The collections so far in India are almost 3 crore nett and it should end with a first week total of 4 crore nett. The film is doing extraordinary business overseas as Monday collections were better than Thursday in North America and Australia. Overall Monday will be as good day one in Overseas and the film is certain to cross the $1.5 million and could even hit $2 million which would be insane for the present time.

Puaada collects 2.50 cr in 4 days; emerges a record opener in the United Kingdom and New Zealand

PUAADA recorded good weekend business of 2.50 crore nett with most of this coming from East Punjab. It was a limited release in East Punjab with the release being mainly in the multiplexes of the big four cities (Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar). The four cities contributed around 60% of the East Punjab business and all four saw excellent occupancy.
The release of the film has held back the numbers but this coupled with good occupancy over the weekend should mean good holds over the weekdays. But its obvious a film cannot match the business it can potentially do in 175 theatres on 50 odd theatres. The theatre count did go up from 50 on day one to 59 on day four but that is still well short of normal.
The huge plus is the business from overseas which will come in close to $600K with United Kingdom doing phenomenally well as it collects almost £85k from just 26 theatres. The lifetime numbers in UK should cross £200k which were blockbuster numbers for a Punjabi film before the pandemic. The UK is doing well as far as Coronavirus goes but the theatrical collections have not been too good. PUAADA will be the first film released in the UK be it from any industry to do business how films used to do before the pandemic.

PUAADA has done excellent business in Overseas and if the film did not have restrictions in Canada and Australia had been norma,l it would have easily been the biggest opening for an Ammy Virk starrer. This is huge, considering its the first release post the pandemic.
The film is a record opener for Ammy Virk in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom it is the fifth highest opening Punjabi film ever with £84k. Going by the New Zealand numbers you can take Australia fair value to be around at least $175k but it only did $62k due to the country being hit by Covid-19. There were restrictions in Canada and it probably lost $75k there but still managed a huge $275k.
Puaada has grossed $575k across all international markets and this would have been around $750-800k if all was normal. But what Puaada proves is that the audience will return if the content is there as far as the international markets goes, though depending on the Covid-19 situation. If your film is catering mainly to the Australian market and releases now then obviously it will suffer. The film grossed over 7 crore worldwide with over 4 crore coming from Overseas.
Below are the top openers of Ammy Virk in overseas. PUAADA did have four days but if we take three days and assume a normal Australia and Canada release, it would still be the top Ammy Virk opener beating NIKKA ZAILDAAR 2.
1. Nikka Zaildaar 2 (Sep 17) - $675,000
2. Puaada (Aug 21) - $575,000
3. Muklawa (May 19) - $555,000
4. Nikka Zaildaar 3 (Sep 19) - $535,000
5. Sufna (Feb 20) - $450,000
6. Kismat (Sep 18) - $425,000
Puaada collects 1.67 cr in 3 days

PUAADA showed strong growth on Saturday with collections going up 50% for a total of 70 lakhs nett. The collections also had huge growth in Delhi city. The film has so far collected 1.67 crore nett in three days and there should be further growth on Sunday.
PUAADA is running at excellent occupancy wherever it has been released in Punjab be it the upmarket PVR Elante in Chandigarh or be it Padam cinema in a small centre like Doraha. There are going to be some theatres which will cross 10 lakh nett for the weekend and one or two may even hit 15 lakh nett which means extraordinary footfalls for these theatres.
The Overseas business of the film is fantastic as it collected around $400k in three days with United Kingdom and New Zealand looking at record weekends for an Ammy Virk satrrer. The worldwide business of the film over a four day weekend will in the 7 crore gross range which is huge considering how much it has been held back in Punjab with a limited release.

Puaada collects 97 lakhs in 2 days

PUAADA continued to do well on Friday as it collected around 45 lakh nett plus on Friday taking its two day total to around 1 crore nett. The film continues to do well though the collections do not quite reflect how well it is doing as it was released in only 50 theatres in East Punjab. But the theatre count will go up today as a few Carnival properties open up in Punjab and Haryana.
The film has also scored very well in Overseas as day two will do around $135k with huge jumps in Canada and the Oceania belt. The business in Overseas outside Australia is pretty much like a pre pandemic Punjabi HIT film. Australia is suffering at the moment due to lockdowns for covid19. The two day overseas will be close to $225k.
