Talvar is continuing to run in theatres in its sixth week. The business of Talvar till date is as follows.
Week One - 15,50,00,000
Week Two - 10,22,00,000
Week Three - 3,27,00,000
Week Four - 86,00,000
Week Five - 35,00,000
TOTAL - 30,20,00,000

The film is likely to add another 15 odd lakhs to its collections..

TALVAR has emerged the highest grossing art house film in recent years. Art house is basically films without the stars and music and don't conform to the normal genres of action, comedy and romance. The top five are as follows.
1. Talvar - 30 crore apprx (4 weeks)
2. Peepli Live - 29,23,00,000
3. The Lunchbox - 20,85,00,000
4. Paan Singh Tomar - 14,61,00,000
5. Manjhi - The Mountain Man - 13,53,00,000

PEEPLI LIVE had the support of Aamir Khan's name attached to it. So TALVAR's 30 crore figure becomes a big number. The best of the other art type releases have managed just about 20 crore nett.

TALVAR grossed 2.25 crore nett apprx in its third weekend. The film grossed 50 lakhs nett on Friday, 80 lakhs nett on Saturday and 95 lakhs nett on Sunday. The business of TALVAR till date is as follows.
Week One - 15,50,00,000
Week Two - 10,25,00,000
Weekend Three - 2,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 28,00,00,000

The film will continue to hang around at theatres till Diwali and finish with business of 31-32 crore nett which is good for a film like TALVAR. The previous best for an art house type film was PEEPLI LIVE with a little under 30 crore nett. THE LUNCHBOX grossed 21 crore nett.

TALVAR did very well in its second week with business of 10.25 crore nett taking its two week total to 25.75 crore nett.
Week One - 15,50,00,000
Week Two - 10,25,00,000 apprx
Drop - 33.88%

The second week collections are better than bigger films like BADLAPUR, NH10 and BROTHERS and the drop in week two is lower than all films released this year barring DUM LAGA KE HAISHA.

The third week will show strong hold but probably not as strong the second week as eventually its a metro film and there is a limited audience. It should comfortably cross 30 crore nett for a finish of around 31-32 crore nett.

TALVAR is continuing it's strong run with 23.50 crore nett in eleven days. The film will be near 26.50 crore nett after two weeks and will easily cross 30 crore nett for lifetime business and could even go to 35 crore. The daily business of TALVAR till date is as follows.
Paid Previews - 52,00,000
Friday - 2,49,00,000
Saturday - 2,70,00,000
Sunday - 3,31,00,000
First Weekend - 9,02,00,000

Monday - 1,53,00,000
Tuesday - 1,65,00,000
Wednesday - 1,65,00,000
Thursday - 1,64,00,000
First Week - 15,49,00,000

Friday - 1,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,70,00,000
Sunday - 2,75,00,000
Monday - 1,05,00,000

GRAND TOTAL - 23,49,00,000

TALVAR showed huge growth on its second Saturday and the business was in the same range as last Saturday which means that if we take out that national holiday factor on day one then second weekend is in same range as first weekend. The film has grossed 19.85 crore nett so far in nine days. The business of its second week till date is as follows.
Friday - 1,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
TOTAL - 4,25,00,000

TALVAR continued its strong run with collections around 1.60 crore nett on day eight which is the same as the previous day. The first day had grossed 2.50 crore nett but that was a national holiday. So if you take out the national holiday factor, the collections on day eight are similar to the real value of day one.

The film will show big growth on Saturday and the weekend business of the film will be better than the big budget SINGH IS BLIING which released on the same day. The eight figures ensure that TALVAR is set for a good run at the box office till Diwali which is four weeks away.

Looking at the trend the film will cross 30 crore nett which is a huge total for a film like this. It easily beats other art house type films which managed to collect at the box office like THE LUNCHBOX and PEEPLI LIVE. THE LUNCHBOX grossed 21 crore nett and PEEPLI LIVE with the support of Aamir Khan banner did 29 crore nett.

TALVAR has had an excellent trend over the weekdays with collections holding in the 1.50-1.75 crore nett region in the Mon-Fri period. The film has grossed 15.50 crore nett in week one including paid previews. The week one total is not big but due to the trend it is sure to hold over the next few weeks. The main contributions are from Mumbai/Thane, Delhi NCR, Pune and Bangalore.

The film will challenge SINGH IS BLIING in week two and it does have a chance of coming out on top with the day eight and day nine collections of both films determining which one will come out better in week two. It will be a bit shocking if it scores over SINGH IS BLIING as there is an over five times difference in the budget of both the films.

The film is one of the surprise successes of the year and it remains to be seen where it goes and the second weekend will give a better idea. Talvar grossed around 6.10 crore nett plus in Mumbai circuit and 3.60 crore nett in Delhi/UP.

TALVAR was rock steady on Tuesday with collections similar to Monday. The film is looking to finish with a 15.25 crore nett first week and go into week two with a strong weekday finish. The business of the film till date is as follows.
Thursday - 50,00,000 (paid previews)
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
Sunday - 3,25,00,000
Monday - 1,65,00,000
Tuesday - 1,65,00,000
TOTAL - 12,30,00,000

The way the film is going it will challenge SINGH IS BLIING in week two which is a shocker. TALVAR released on around 625 theatres but many of these theatres had 2-3 showings. Next week it will get a whole screen to itself meaning fours shows at most of the theatres. SINGH IS BLIING is trending badly and so week two is going to be very close between the two films with TALVAR having a chance to outscore the bigger film.

TALVAR had an excellent hold on Monday as it grossed 1.75 crore nett apprx. This is just 30% down from day one and if we take out the holiday factor then collections may even be better than the real value of day one. The business of the film till date is as follows.
Thursday - 50,00,000 (paid previews)
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
Sunday - 3,25,00,000
Monday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 11,00,00,000

The film may show a strong weekday trend also and if this happens it will have a good run at the box office. The film has found strong appreciation with its target audience which is the high end multiplexes of the metros and these theatres will sustain well for a few weeks.

TALVAR had a decent weekend with a good trend. The film grew very well on Saturday after a national holiday and followed up with 20-25% growth on Sunday. The business of the film till date is as follows.
Thursday - 50,00,000 (paid previews)
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
Sunday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 9,25,00,000

The film now has to hold well on Monday and then stay in a similar range on the weekdays which will set it up for a decent run in the theatres.

TALVAR did well on day two managing to show growth despite coming of a major holiday and this is probably the first time it has ever happened. Normally even the most smallest releases sees a drop. In real terms, its growth of 60-65% as day one would have been 1.75 crore nett apprx without the holiday. The business of the film till date is as follows:
Thursday - 50,00,000 (paid previews)
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
TOTAL - 5,75,00,000

The Monday business and weekday hold will tell where film is going. If the weekdays hold at a good level the film can have a good run for a few weeks.

TALVAR has surprised on day one with business of around 2.50 crore nett. The film had competition from SINGH IS BLIING and the holdover KIS KISKO PYAAR KAROON but still come out with good business. The film also had paid previews on Thursday and the business of the film till date is as follows.
Thursday - 50,00,000 (paid previews)
Friday - 2,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 3,00,00,000

The film had limited face value and a limited release of 625 screens with just 2-3 screenings in most of these screens. The film has good chances of doing well on word of mouth. It will be hard to grow a lot on Saturday as it was a holiday on Friday but a repeat of Friday will do and if any growth it will be bonus. Monday will be the acid test for the film but opening has given it a chance.
