DHADAK did decent business in week two grossing 17.25 crore nett which is a drop of 66% from the first week. The total of the film is 68.50 crore nett and it has another twelve days or so to add business till GOLD and SATYAMEVA JAYATE release.

There are chances of hitting 75 crore nett though it is probably the maximum amount the film can do and a lot will depend on the hold on the third Friday. In circuits like CP Berar and Nizam/Andhra it is the best scorer of the year outside the big four big grossers of the year - SANJU, PADMAAVAT, RACE 3 and BAAGHI 2.

East Punjab has fared poorly and Delhi city is also low but the circuit of Delhi/UP is good thanks to very good numbers in UP. The second week business is the ninth best of 2018 with SANJU leading the way at 90 crore nett plus.

The collections of DHADAK till date are as follows.
Week One - 51,31,00,000 apprx
Week Two - 17,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 68,56,00,000 apprx

SANJU is slowing down not as it grossed 2.75 crore nett apprx in its fifth weekend which takes its total to 333.50 crore nett. The film is chasing the 337.50 crore nett of PK which is the fourth highest NETT grosser after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, DANGAL and TIGER ZINDA HAI. It will probably fall short as the run will be cut short due to the big releases on Independence Day which will arrive on Wednesday August 15.

Week One - 2,00,76,00,000
Week Two - 90,82,00,000

SOORMA fell in week two with collections of 6.75 crore nett which takes its total to 28.25 crore nett apprx. The fall in week two is 68% which is too high for a film which did not open well. The film is has done Average business in the North and that is only plus point of the film.

SOORMA dropped in the second weekend with collections of a little over 4.25 crore nett which takes the business of the film to 25.75 crore nett. The drop from the first weekend is around 68% which is too much for a film that did not open.

The bulk of the business for the film has come in Delhi city and East Punjab while other circuits have not fared well and that is basically the problem for the film. It needed a little support in Mumbai circuit which could have pushed the film the film into that 35 crore nett zone while now 30 crore nett looks like where it will end.

The collections of SOORMA till date are as follows
Week One - 21,40,00,000 apprx
Friday - 85,00,000 apprx

SOORMA fell on its eighth day with collections in the range of 80-90 lakhs nett. The film has grossed around 21.25 crore nett in eight days but the drop in collections is around 45-50% from Thursday. It needed to go over the 1 crore nett mark at least on its second Friday.

The collections in North India are still decent but the rest of the country has gone down to very low levels. If the film can double up on Saturday then it should come out with a respectable second week.

SOORMA had a decent hold on Monday as it collected in the 2 crore nett range and dropped 40% from Friday. Content films should really be holding better and get close to the day one figure if they are to really sustain but SOORMA still has a chance and it will depend on what happens on the second Friday. The first week business of the film will be in the 20 crore nett region..

The collections of SOORMA till date are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 21,50,00,000 apprx

SOORMA could not really get going over its first weekend as it grossed 13.25 crore nett over its first weekend. The growth was decent on Saturday but Sunday was pretty flat and the film could not really go on. The film has fared better in Delhi and Punjab but even there the collections could be better.

It remains to be see where the film goes over the weekdays but the growth should have been much better over the weekend if it was to hold up really well as a content film should. The collections of SOORMA till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 13,25,00,000 apprx

ANT MAN AND THE WASP has done well over its first weekend but again that growth in business is missing so its unlikely to sustain that well but considering the initial it will still manage to be an Average film. The collections of ANT MAN AND THE WASP till date are as follows.
Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 7,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 19,50,00,000 apprx

SOORMA grossed a low 3.25 crore nett apprx on its first day though North India did well with roughly 50% of its all India business coming from Delhi/UP and East Punjab. The film is about the growth which should come on Saturday but the Monday will be crucial as weekend growth nowadays comes for practically every film aimed at multiplexes. Monday is what separates the also rans and the ones which will actually ran.

Mumbai circuit is most important for the film as that is the one which will decide its fate because it really needs Mumbai city and Pune to pick up strongly. If  Mumbai city, Pune and North can score for a multiplex film like this then it is enough for a good box office run. If Mumbai does not really sustain then the film will have to be a big hit in the North for a decent lifetime total.

The opening day collections of the film were a little lower than HICHKI and 102 NOT OUT though better than BLACKMAIL.

ANT MAN AND THE WASP has scored at the box office with a pretty good first day of 5.25-5.50 crore nett which is similar to the collections of BLACK PANTHER which had more hype though the release in India of ANT MAN AND THE WASP was a little wider than BLACK PANTHER.

The Hollywood released had the highest collections on the Friday beating SOORMA and SANJU. There is big growth for this Marvel branded cinema in India as the last ANT MAN released in 2015 grossed 8 crore nett and this one will beat that one in 2 days flat.

It still remains to be seen if the film actually works with the audience but with a start like this it is pretty much assured success from a purely commercial point of view.
---------------------
SOORMA had good growth on Saturday of around 45-50% but it could have been better as it is a multiplex film. The places which did not open well on Friday managed to make good gains while places like Punjab and Delhi which opened much better made lesser gains.

The film grossed 4.75 crore nett apprx to take its total to 8 crore nett in two days. The film should do pretty well in Delhi and Punjab but the rest still depending on what level they are on Monday as if low occupancy then second week will be a struggle for shows.

The collections of SOORMA till date are as follows.
Friday - 3,25,00,000
Saturday - 4,75,00,000
TOTAL - 8,00,00,000

ANT MAN AND THE WASP has done well at the box office in India as it collected 7 crore nett on Saturday. The growth is around 30-35% which probably means its not going to be a long runner but with the weekend easily crossing 20 crore nett it is sure to be an Average fare at least.
Friday - 5,25,00,000
Saturday - 7,00,00,000
TOTAL - 12,25,00,000
