SRIKANTH saw a good hold post its election boost as it collected 1.25 crore nett on its second Tuesday and this puts the film on course towards a HIT if the film can hold collections similar to this on its third Friday. The collections mainly fell in Mumbai on Tuesday as it had the election boost on Monday. The NCR and Punjab are was steady on Tuesday

The film is now looking at a second week of 13.50 crore nett which will take it over 30.50 crore nett in two weeks. Now, its about picking up 8-9 crore nett in week three which will take the film towards 50 crore nett or at least very close. If the film maintains over the next couple of weeks, it could end up with higher numbers than MAIDAAN

There was nothing expected post Eid until the main releases start in June but box office can never be predicted and this dullest period may actually come out with a HIT film though it has to get around the 50 crore nett mark.

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

SRIKANTH had a good second week at it collected almost 14 crore nett which is less than 20% down from the first week. The film got a bump up in collections on Monday due to elections in certain cities and then Thursday was another holiday for Buddha Purnima which gave it a little boost across many circuits.

The film now stands at a solid 31 crore nett after two weeks and if the third Friday holds well the film may well emerge a HIT as then its likely the film would be around or near that 40 crore nett mark by the end of the third week. It will also mean a shot at 50 crore nett.

The film faced competition yesterday as the Hollywood film FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA released on Thursday but was pretty much unaffected. There is a Hindi release today with BHAIYYA JI which has had a pretty sizeable release for its face value but opening is very dull. The opening is a little better in UP and Bihar but when you have a localized film, then it should be opening far better in these pockets. Basically the film is not for multiplexes and has no face value for the single screens. Non cast films have to be made for multiplex audiences and that is pretty much what SRIKANTH is.

The collections of SRIKANTH are as follows.

Friday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,20,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

SRIKANTH is doing solid business in its second week as it benefited from elections in Mumbai and UP on Monday and collections were a little higher than the Friday. This has now taken the film to 27.50 crore nett in eleven days and the second week is in double digits already with three days left.

The film saw a good jump in Mumbai circuit on Monday as Mumbai city propelled the collections and was far better than Friday. The film now seems to be heeding for a comfortable 30 crore nett plus total in two weeks and 40 crore nett now looks a worst case scenario for the film.

The drop in the second week is going to be around 25% and if this trend holds or even if its 30% drop in week three, then the film is likely to emerge a HIT. It will be harder to do in week three but the film has continued to surprise in its run till date. The second Tuesday is also crucial as the elections look to have given a 30 lakhs apprx boost on Monday. As a result, Tuesday will see a drop.

The collections of Srikanth are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

SRIKANTH consolidated its second Friday number with good collection of 2.75 crore nett which takes the total collection of the film to 21.75 crore nett. There are a few smaller films which have got some sort of respectable numbers this year so far and SRIKANTH has crossed earnings of LAAPATAA LADIES in nine days. Its just a matter of time when it goes past the other two SWATANTRYA VEER SAVARKAR and MADGAON EXPRESS.

The difference between SRIKANTH and the others is that it has found appreciation with a more wider audience. It is not just doing business from a circuit or two or just the metros; there is some support from other places as well. The numbers from Punjab, Rajasthan, MP, etc cant be called good but they are far better than the other smaller films released this year.

The film still has legs and more importantly has time on its side with lack of new films to go to the 40 crore nett mark or higher.

The collections of SRIKANTH are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,45,00,000 apprx

Friday - 1,65,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

SRIKANTH saw a good gain on its second Friday as collections went up around 15% as it collected 1.60-1.65 crore nett. This now sets up the film well for a good run over the the next month or so and the 40 crore nett mark becomes a realistic target.

The film had to consolidate this second Friday number with a big jump on Saturday but that should happen and the film is heading for a comfortable double digit number in week two. It could even end the second week with collections almost reaching the 30 crore nett mark. There will be elections in Mumbai on Monday which should help the film as there is a good contribution from the city for the film.

A 40 crore nett plus number will be a good result for the film and considering that MAIDAAN is yet to reach 50 crore mark and BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN is under 60 crore nett. These numbers make SRIKANTH will look even better. SRIKANTH has box office collections of around 19 crore nett till date.
