There have been these four films in the last 4-5 months which have basically looked like a family and cousins of each other and normally you would expect one member of the family to pass but that's not the rule in this side of the film industry as all the family members flopped and saw total rejection.

The similarities in these films were huge as all were female lead with ridiculously bad trailers which offered nothing and on top seemed to be pushing some social awareness message. But the problem becomes with this sort of Netflix cinema is that you don't have any reach to push whatever social awareness you want to show and on top the audience may not want to understand from you anyway as there are other better ways to learn than from cinema.

The fact these films came up in just a few months is a surprise which probably means that a part of the industry probably sees female driven films as the way forward. But its never about female or male driven films but about good films. The other side of the industry will believe its difficult to make good female driven films but that's not the case either as a MOTHER INDIA and HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN stand with the male testosterone driven SHOLAY and GADAR as historic blockbusters in Hindi cinema.

Recently there has been THE DIRTY PICTURE and TANU WEDS MANU series which not only scored at the box office but also post their release on satellite. The big difference between these films and the family which we have seen in the last few months is entertainment. If entertainment is there then the audience will not even look if its female driven or male driven. There has also been MARDAANI 2 which is a female film but that was simplistic with a protagonist v antagonist theme which will reach a wider audience therefore getting some numbers.

The final domestic, overseas and worldwide results of this family which flopped together is as follows. The numbers tell the story of the rejection be it domestic or overseas.

Saand Ki Aankh 
India - 23,36,00,000
Overseas - $400,000

HOUSEFULL 4 had an excellent second with collections close to 49 crore nett. The film showed a 64% drop coming from the huge Diwali week which is a strong second week trend. The collections of the film are now almost 185 crore nett.

The second week collections are the third best of the year after KABIR SINGH and URI. The second numbers are also among the top fifteen second weeks of all time and this is with no help of a holiday. The film was said to be rejected by the audience on release but now it is among the top second weeks of all time and nearly hit the 50 crore nett which is a mark that successful films like MANIKARNIKA, DE DE PYAAR DE, BATLA HOUSE and LUKA CHUPPI just about manage to cross in week one. The film has competition this week with BALA so it will this Friday which will tell the lifetime business of the film. It is certain to be the highest Akshay Kumar grosser.

The collections of HOUSEFULL 4 till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,35,86,00,000 
Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 48,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,84,61,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH collected 8.50 crore nett in week two which is only 30% down from week one but it had a very poor first week and had to repeat that first week collection at least. It has collected 20 crore nett plus but will struggle from here on as BALA will take its target audience.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,50,00,00 apprx
Monday - 85,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 80,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 65,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 60,00,000 apprx
Week Two - 8,55,00,000 apprx=
TOTAL - 20,45,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 4 continues to do well with collections of 4.75 crore nett on Tuesday which has taken the overall total of the film to 177 crore nett. It will record the third highest second week of the year after Kabir Singh and Uri - The Surgical Strike

The film has now settled across the country with business with normal ratios though due to the extended holiday period in Gujarat/Saurashtra it will do its best business. The film will do over 30 crore nett in terms of lifetime numbers which has only been done by BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, GOLMAAL AGAIN, PK and BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN. It could finish the third highest collecting film of all time in the circuit after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and GOLMAAL AGAIN. Although Gujarat has an extended period you still need the film to work to put up big numbers as that can be seen by THUGS OF HINDOSTAN last year when there was big out performance in Gujarat.

The film is certain to be the highest Akshay Kumar grosser and will probably achieve that in the third weekend and the lifetime will depend on the next two weekends. The film is a HIT and could emerge a SUPER HIT if it continues to collect well over the next 2-3 weeks.

The collections of HOUSEFULL 4 till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,35,86,00,000 
Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 41,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,77,11,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH continues with low collections and will the end the second week with over 20 core nett business. If this film had been released outside of Diwali and on a week with limited or poor competition it might have got a better final number.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,50,00,00 apprx
Monday - 85,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 80,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 19,15,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 4 collected very well on its second Monday with collections of 5.50-5.75 crore nett. The holiday period is totally over now in all areas and the film is set to sustain very well for the next few weeks with a solid number like this on its second Monday.

The drop is around 30% from Friday but that Friday number had a 50 lakh apprx boost from Gujarat/Saurashtra as it was in a holiday period. Even after the extended holidays in Gujarat/Saurashtra it has held very well there with collections of 65-70 lakhs nett on its second Monday. East Punjab and Gujarat/Saurashtra have a similar all India ratio but East Punjab was doing just 55% of the business of Gujarat/Saurashtra on the second Monday.

The holds were strong all over and the metros have also settled now after the drops at the end of last week. The film is looking to collect around 50 crore nett in the first week and is sure to be the highest grosser of Akshay Kumar and the next two weeks will determine were the film will eventually go.

The collections of HOUSEFULL 4 till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,35,86,00,000 
Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 36,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,72,36,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH collected 85 lakh nett on its first Monday and took its lifetime total to 18 crore nett plus. The second week business of the film is looking to be 8.50-8.75 crore nett in week two which is a 25-30% drop and considering the low first week where the first weekend it hardly did any business it had to get much closer to its first week total.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,50,00,00 apprx
Monday - 85,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 18,35,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 4 scored strong numbers in the second weekend with around 31 crore nett. These numbers could have been 3-4 crore nett higher if the film had better growth on Saturday and Sunday. Still the film crossed the 30 crore nett mark over the weekend which is a big number which maybe 15 films in history have managed to do.

The collections for the film are 168 crore nett in ten days and the last Akshay Kumar film MISSION MANGAL was at 155 crore nett after eleven days. So the film is sure to beat the lifetime collections of that film and become the highest grossing Akshay Kumar starrer. The target for the film is probably the NETT numbers of GOLMAAL AGAIN and if it can beat that, then it will become the highest grossing comedy film in terms of NETT collections. But this will depend on the business over weekend three and weekend four and if the drops are in 60-65% or better then it will get there.

The collections of HOUSEFULL 4 till date are as follows.
Friday - 18,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 18,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 14,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 34,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,68,25,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH grossed 5.50-5.75 crore nett in its second weekend which is more than its first weekend as it hardly collected there. But the collections are very low and it has no chance of getting close to its first week business which was a must for the film in week two. The collections of this film are now around 17.50 crore nett in ten days.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,50,00,00 apprx
TOTAL - 17,55,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 4 collected well on its second Saturday with double digit numbers of 10 crore nett though the growth could have been more. The areas which show strong growth on Saturdays have not grown as well this Saturday and this film also was not going to grow in Gujarat as that is still a holiday there not like the Mon - Thu period.

The film has a second weekend total of 18 crore nett in two days which will mean a second weekend bigger than the second week of most films this year.  The total collections of the film are 155 crore nett and Mumbai circuit will hit 60 crore nett in ten days while Delhi/UP will be a little over 30 crore nett but that is because of the dull business in Delhi/UP over the first three days due to pre Diwali.

The collections of HOUSEFULL 4 till date are as follows.
Friday - 18,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 18,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 14,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 34,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 1,55,25,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH had the best growth on Saturday at around 55% but this is low for a second Saturday which is only really doing metro multiplex film. The collections of this film are now around 15 crore nett.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 15,05,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA crashed out on day eight and will finish with lifetime business of under 12 crore nett.

The collections of MADE IN CHINA till date are as follows.
Week One  - 10,25,00,000 apprx
Friday - 15,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,40,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH collected 1.15 crore nett on its second Friday and it did not fall much on its second Friday but the problem is that very low first week. The film collected more than double of its first day but that is because of pre Diwali. Despite the eighth day being much higher than the first day it will probably be a lower second week than the first and the film needed a higher second week to get a decent final result.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH till date are as follows.
Week One - 11,90,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,15,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 13,05,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA is very dull with collections of 10.25 crore nett and has been beaten by even SAAND KI AANKH to finish third best of the Diwali releases. SAAND KI AANKH has a decent trend in the metros while this film has tanked everywhere.

The first week collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 90,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,25,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH collected 12 crore nett in week which is very low for Diwali week. The film is doing better in the metros but it probably has to collect week one numbers in week two for just respectable final collections. The film might have done better if it was released in a week when the competition was less.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 45,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 95,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,65,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 11,90,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA collected 1.10 crore nett on day six as it fought back against SAAND KI AANKH with a lesser drop compared to that film but as SAAND KI AANKH has better numbers it will be losing battle for MADE IN CHINA against that film.

The first six day collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 9,35,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH is also struggling at the box office with collections of 1.75 crore nett on Wednesday. The first week collections should be around 12 crore nett and could remain with low level collections in the metros in the long but the film has is not really going anywhere with just 12 crore nett on the board on a big holiday week with a release of 1000 screens plus. The only plus is that the film will beat MADE IN CHINA but both SAAND KI AANKH and MADE IN CHINA have probably cost HOUSEFULL 4 some revenue as they did not need 2200 screens and HOUSEFULL 4 could have done far more business if it had some of these 2200 screens.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 45,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 95,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,65,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,40,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA dropped 40% after the big national holiday which is a big drop for a film doing business at this level. The drop was more than a big release like HOUSEFULL 4.

The first five day collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,25,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH was steady on Tuesday with collections pretty similar to Monday. The numbers remain low for its release but the trend is decent and it could go towards some respectable numbers depending on the second week. The total for the film so far is 8.75 crore nett. The film may have done better if released on another week.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 45,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 95,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,75,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA showed huge growth on Monday with collections of 2.75 crore nett. The growth is actually more than HOUSEFULL 4 as it was hardly collecting but despite the growth, the occupancy remains low especially for a national holiday. The film was released on around 1200 screens and these sort of collections on a big holiday are nothing despite the growth.

The first four day collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 6,50,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH showed even more growth than MADE IN CHINA but it is the same problem as collections are low for a national holiday. The film collected 3.25 crore nett on Monday and took its total to 5.75 crore nett. This film had a 1000 screen plus release and again its not a good return on a national holiday despite the growth. The film has a more targeted audience than MADE IN CHINA as its mainly for metros but a film like JOKER which is for metro only as well was doing far higher numbers on less than half the shows of this film and that too without the national holiday. The plus is the targetted audience in metros could give the film a little run which is not the case with MADE IN CHINA which is not performing in metros and hence, the numbers will hardly go anywhere.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 45,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 95,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 5,75,00,000 apprx

There was a fight for shows for these two films with HOUSEFULL 4 but the collections show these films have got more shows than they actually deserve. Both combined have 6.50 crore nett on the biggest day of the year from over 2200 screens.

MADE IN CHINA did poor business as it collected 3.75 crore nett in the first weekend. The film will find it tough going as the occupancy is very low all over.

The first three day collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 3,75,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH has also performed poorly over the first three days with 2.50 crore nett but this film cant be written off totally. There is a decent underlying trend in the metros so the film can have some respectability in the numbers. and could hold at low levels for a week or two.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 45,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,10,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 95,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,50,00,000 apprx

MADE IN CHINA has done poor business though it managed to go up on Saturday but that was a given from the business it did on day one. The poor first day collections have made it a struggle for this film.

The first two day collections of MADE IN CHINA are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,50,00,000 apprx

SAAND KI AANKH has also done poor business though the film more than doubled on Saturday. The film had a very low starting point though it can tag along for a run in the big metros at low levels considering this growth.

The collections of SAAND KI AANKH are as follows.
Friday - 50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,75,00,000 apprx
