SIMRAN had a poor first week of 13.25 crore nett apprx which makes it pretty certain that the film has no chance of reaching even 20 crore nett. The film opened to dull collections and the growth over the weekend was not good enough and Monday pretty much ended any chance it had of survival.

It managed better collections at premium multiplexes but fifty odd multiplexes are not going to change the fate of the film unless they have excellent collections. It has managed to outscore the competition of LUCKNOW CENTRAL but that is hardly a consolation prize.

LUCKNOW CENTRAL fared even worse than SIMRAN as it grossed 10.75 crore nett apprx in its first week. The film managed to catch SIMRAN on Thursday with just a couple of lakhs between the films when the opening day gap was 70 lakhs nett in the favour of SIMRAN. It should do a little better in week two than SIMRAN going by the weekday trend but the race is probably over and it will very surprising if it can make the 2.50 crore nett it is behind SIMRAN. This is because the film has been rejected outright so collections will be too low to make real inroads into the gap.

The other release PATEL KI PUNJABI SHAADI was a disaster as it grossed around 75 lakhs nett in the first week.

SIMRAN and LUCKNOW CENTRAL are almost at parity with the gap down to just 10 lakhs when day was around 70 lakhs nett. Both films are flops and its just basically about which film comes out on top. LUCKNOW CENTRAL will probably start eating into the lead of SIMRAN from Friday but its probably left it too late as SIMRAN has a lead of almost 2.35 crore nett apprx and that should be enough to come out on top. The first five day business of SIMRAN is as follows
Friday - 2,43,00,000
Saturday - 3,40,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,65,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,15,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 11,63,00,000 apprx

The first five day collections of LUCKNOW CENTRAL are as follows.
Friday - 1,74,00,000
Saturday - 2,65,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 90,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 9,29,00,000 apprx

SIMRAN and LUCKNOW CENTRAL are more additions to the FLOP list of 2017 which now stands at almost 150 flops. Not much could have been expected for these films but with such low weekends you expect some sort of hold at low levels on a Monday but that has not happened especially for SIMRAN which has gone down over 50% on Monday. The first four day business of SIMRAN is as follows
Friday - 2,43,00,000
Saturday - 3,40,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,65,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,15,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,63,00,000 apprx

LUCKNOW CENTRAL has dropped less than SIMRAN at around 45% but it is still not going anywhere. It has also closed the gap to just 15 lakhs against the competition. But its still likely to be the loser in this minor clash even though it could start leading in the second week. The first four day collections of LUCKNOW CENTRAL are as follows.
Friday - 1,74,00,000
Saturday - 2,65,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,39,00,000 apprx

SIMRAN had a poor first weekend with around 9.50 crore nett collections. The film has shown some growth over the weekend but it is probably not good enough for the Monday business to come out in the Friday range. The film may have been affected a little by the cricket match on Sunday but at these low levels it will be hardly be 2-5% affect as its not a film that has found a large audience which could have been kept away on Sunday due to the cricket. In the clash with LUCKNOW CENTRAL it has won as far as the weekend is concerned as it leads by around 2 crore nett. The first weekend business of SIMRAN is as follows
Friday - 2,43,00,000
Saturday - 3,40,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,65,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 9,48,00,000 apprx

LUCKNOW CENTRAL has fared worse than SIMRAN with collections under 7.50 crore nett for the weekend. The film has not even been able to collect well in Lucknow and that pretty much tells the story. The only plus is that is was closest to SIMRAN on Sunday with the gap being 65 lakhs nett and maybe it can make some inroads over the weekdays though that is doubtful. This film was also probably affected by the cricket on Sunday but again to a very limited degree due to the same reasons as SIMRAN. The first weekend collections of LUCKNOW CENTRAL are as follows.
Friday - 1,74,00,000
Saturday - 2,65,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 7,39,00,000 apprx

SIMRAN had decent growth of around 40% on Saturday as it collected 3.35-3.45 crore nett. This takes the total business of the film to a little under 6 crore nett and the weekend may just go into double figures which is a low weekend.

Its another film depending totally on its Monday business but the trend on Saturday suggests it can have a hold on Monday but not the sort that the film needs. The only plus for the film is that it is winning the clash with LUCKNOW CENTRAL but that is like a consolation prize as main objective is to succeed at the box office. The two day collections of Simran are as follows.
Friday - 2,43,00,000
Saturday - 3,40,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 5,83,00,000 apprx

The last two films of Kangana Ranuat were RANGOON and KATTI BATTI and they did 21 crore nett and 24 crore nett respectively and this film will need a strong Monday to get to those numbers.
