ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI did very well in its second week collecting around 47 crore nett and taking its two week total to 116 crore nett. The drop off on the week is just about 31% which is solid trending. The film has not worked in core circuits but the metros are doing well which means good totals in Mumbai, Delhi/UP and Mysore. West Bengal is also doing well but should be better.

The film is a success but a lot depends on what happens from here to go further. There is competition this week with two big films. GADAR 2 is a different animal altogether with a different audience so it will actually be OMG 2 which is giving this film competition and competing for the same audience at the larger multiplexes.

The biggest plus is the business in overseas markets which may be heading to the $15 million mark which is second best only to PATHAAN, post pandemic mark.

The collections of ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 11,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 47,00,00,000 apprx

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI had an excellent hold in the second weekend as it collected 31 crore nett apprx and took its overall total to 100 crore nett plus in ten days. The film is mainly about 4-5 cities which are contributing a huge chunk to the overall pie. Its a bit like those five centre films before the pandemic like GULLY BOY and smaller films like PINK and PIKU where bulk of the business comes from a few cities.

The drop from the last weekend is just 30% and that is the plus for film as collections in week one were decent for the genre but not for the budget of the film. But in the second weekend, it has covered ground. So, the overall number of 100 crore nett now also looks good which was not the case after the first week.

The third Friday is likely to determine the lifetime business of the film and it will all be down to metros as contributions outside will hardly be anything. Overseas is exceptional and the film may emerge a BLOCKBUSTER there with the second best collections post pandemic but that also depends on how the film fares over the next two weeks.

The collections of ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI till date are as follows.

First Week - 69,46,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 11,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,25,00,000 apprx

Third Weekend - 31,00,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI has seen an extraordinary hold in overseas markets as it picked up $3.25 million in its second weekend which is a drop of just 20% from the first weekend. The film has comfortably crossed the $10 million mark and is still going strong.

The overseas numbers is the actual victory of the film as not only has it sustained very well but collections are very good in all markets. Canada saw its highest day on Sunday which was day ten and a small market like Singaopre had a second weekend which was better than the first weekend.

Alia Bhatt is a bonafide star in overseas while Karan Johar films also have a branding in this genre especially in the traditional markets of US/Canada and UK and all this is helping the numbers of the film. The restrictive release in the West due to BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER is also helping it sustain so well.

Hindi films need x amount of shows at certain properties in US/Canada and UK due to a huge sub continent diaspora in these areas but that was not possible with BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER running so strong. So although the film got the cinemas, it did not get the shows it required in key properties and a lot of the audience had to wait to catch the film.

The film is still very strong and may even go towards the $15 million mark. Before it opened, the expectations on advances was around $9-10 million but it has crossed that in ten days alone.

The apprx collections in the major markets are as follows.

United Kingdom - £975,000 ($1,250,000)

US/Canada - $4,500,000

Gulf - $2,800,000 

Aus  A$1,000,000 ($700,000)

Rest Of The World - $1,250,000

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI showed huge growth on Saturday as collections went up 70-75% which was on the cards as the film is catering to high end multiplexes in the metros. The collections were 11.25 crore nett on Saturday which takes the film to 87.25 crore nett. It should reach 100 crore nett by the end of business on Sunday.

The film should also reach $10 million overseas by the end of business on Sunday. So, it will be two benchmarks hit at the same time. The overseas number is far more impressive as in India, the film lacks mass support while overseas there is appreciation across all the circuits.

The difference between this film and TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR is likely to come from Mumbai, Mysore and West Bengal as Mumbai city, Pune, Bangalore and Kolkata gave a better performance. Delhi NCR is also better than TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR but overall circuit figures will be similar as ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI is lesser in UP.  It is doing HIT business in the above mentioned cities but it remains to be seen if they can cover the shortfall from the rest of India in the long run.

The collections of ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI till date are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 18,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 6,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 11,25,00,000 apprx

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI has held up well on its second Friday with collections of 6.50 crore nett apprx. The second Friday number is the third best this year after PATHAAN and THE KERALA STORY but there is a big gap to the next best films as the likes of TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR and ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE are much lower.

The collections now stand at around 76.50 crore nett and it will have a shot at 100 crore nett after its second weekend. The jump should be huge on Saturday as the bulk of the business is coming from areas which have big Saturday growth.

The film is going to be pulled through by the metros while business in core Hindi circuits is low and it may even not reach numbers of a much smaller film ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE in the likes of CI and Bihar. The other side is that a centre like Gurgaon has racked up numbers only behind PATHAAN and BRAHMASTRA post pandemic for original Hindi content..

The behaviour seen for ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI has not been seen by a big release post pandemic in that there is appreciation in the metros and rejection outside. Basically its on the lines of films like MISSION MANGAL and GULLY BOY. The numbers of MISSION MANGAL went high for a metro film. That was because of the momentum from a national holiday where even the mass circuits got some numbers due to the holiday but it was downhill in these centres after. Also big holidays generally inflate the collections especially for non opening type of films.
