SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY maintained fantastic collections in week two with 27.50 crore nett which is a drop of 37% week on week. The total business of the film is 71 crore nett plus in two weeks and it seems to be heading for the 90 crore nett range

If the film does not drop on the third Friday then there could even be an outside chance of 100 crore nett. It has been seen lately that films which work like TIGER ZINDA HAI and PADMAAVAT go on and on. The film could do business of around 25 crore nett in Delhi /UP and Mumbai which is phenomenal for a film of this range.

The collections of SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY till date are as follows.
Week One - 43,56,00,000
Week Two - 27,50,00,000 apprx
Total - 71,06,00,000 apprx

PARI fared poorly in week one with 20 crore nett apprx and there is not much hope of a turnaround in week two. The horror cum thriller has fared best in West Bengal but that hardly matters as the bigger areas of Mumbai and North have not performed well.

The film could not really take benefit of the Holi period on Friday and Saturday which actually meant a potentially collecting weekend as Friday and Saturday where you have the Holi factor and Sunday is a holiday anyway. But with a 13.25 crore return over the three days, the writing was on the wall.

VEEREY KI WEDDING fared very poorly with 3.25 crore nett and will close out under 4 crore nett. There is a film coming in June of the same name to try its luck but coming from the makers of AISHA (2010) and KHOOBSURAT (2014) it can easily be said it will be a five city film and the business in these five cities is dwindling every year.

PARI is on a downward trend on the weekdays with low weekday collections. The week will finish up with 20 crore nett apprx and with HATE STORY 4 coming and SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY going so well it is going to be the one which will find it hard to collect.

The film has done a little better in Kolkata but that is possibly due to a lot of artists in the film being from the local Bengal film film industry which gave it more appeal in that part of the country. Mumbai city is best of the rest with North and Central markets faring very poorly. It will find it tough to reach the 25 crore nett mark of PHILLAURI which was the last Anushka Sharma lead film.

The first four day collections of PARI are as follows.
Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,90,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 16,90,00,000 apprx

VEEREY KI WEDDING is heading for a 3.25 crore nett first week. The first five day collections of VEEREY KI WEDDING is as follows.
Friday - 70,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 30,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,75,00,000 apprx.

PARI had a fall in collections on Monday which looked on the cards going by the weekend trend especially Saturday when the film failed to grow much considering it should have got the advantage of the day after Holi in many circuits and on top the Saturday factor in metros.

PARI has a drop of 50% on Monday from a poor start on Friday. The film collected in the 1.75-2 crore nett range on Monday which gives it a total of 15.25 crore nett apprx in four days. The first week will close around the 20 crore nett mark and business thereafter will be difficult. .

The first four day collections of PARI are as follows
Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 15,25,00,000 apprx

VEEREY KI WEDDING continued with poor collections on Monday. The first four day collections of VEEREY KI WEDDING is as follows.
Friday - 70,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 30,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,50,00,000 apprx.

PARI has had a poor weekend of 13.25-13.50 crore nett and there is not much of a trend for the film either. Last year another Anushka Sharma-starrer which did not do well PHILLAURI collected 14.65 crore nett and it was not a holiday weekend and it was before GST lowered the taxes on collections. The poor trend on Friday and Saturday when it had Holi to aid it meant that Sunday was unlikely to go far.

Despite being a 1.15 crore nett difference between PARI and PHILLAURI in collections, the real difference factoring in Holi and GST is much more. Hindi horror films earlier had problems as they were tacky in making despite some being well told stories but in PARI the story telling has even gone wrong with inspiration probably coming from some foreign film industry. Only the RAAZ series have managed to get away with horror and it was backed by super hit music.

The first weekend collections of PARI are as follows
Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 13,25,00,000 apprx

PARI needs a strong hold on Monday to have any chance of survival but its probably going to be a big ask. SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY has affected it in Delhi NCR and Punjab where a huge chunk of the premium multiplexes are but it also has to with the film not really finding appreciation.

VEEREY KI WEDDING had a very poor weekend of around 2.25 crore nett. The first weekend collections of VEEREY KI WEDDING is as follows.
Friday - 70,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,20,00,000 apprx.

PARI had a poor opening day of around 4 crore nett. The film started slowly but picked from the afternoon as Holi festivities got over. The 4 crore net opening would have been reasonable if it was a normal day but its a poor performance for a holiday.

It managed to beat the opening day numbers of PHILLAURI which grossed 3.86 crore nett but by a very small margin and it was a holiday so on real value the opening is lower.

The film is basically a psychological thriller which offers little entertainment for the audiences in India and on top it is devoid of music which is going to make it hard for the film going forward.

The film will be mainly for the five metros of Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Kolkata and Bangalore but maybe you can take out Delhi from the equation as the genre tends to be very bad there unless supported by cast which is rare for these type of films.

The film has to show some solid growth coming off a holiday and that will be a big task for the film. It is an urban multiplex film so the above metros could grow but solid growth at an all India level is going to be hard to come by.

The other film VEEREY KI WEDDING is very poor and opened to around 75-80 lakhs nett on its opening day which is a similar collection to last weeks WELCOME TO NEW YORK but the costs are much lower than that film.
-----------------------------
PARI struggled on its second day as it showed growth of around 20% to collect 4.75 crore nett. The film needed to be really showing an upturn of at least 35-40% for it have a chance. It was a holiday for Holi on Friday so collections were boosted a little so if we take fair value of Friday then there is 50% growth but that is coming from a very low level.

The film has grossed 8.75 crore nett in two days which is a low total and on top there is no trend. The collections are a little better in Mumbai and Kolkatta but overall the performance is dull and the way places like Gujarat and Rajasthan are performing it will be a surprise if there is big Sunday growth. Also the film does not look to have much for families outside the metros.

The first two day collections of PARI are as follows
Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,50,00,000 apprx

VEEREY KI WEDDING is faring very similar to last weeks WELCOME TO NEW YORK and could not not grow on Saturday. The first two day collections of VEEREY KI WEDDING is as follows.
Friday - 70,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,45,00,000 apprx
