AURANGZEB had a low weekend as it collected around 12 crore nett over its first weekend. The business was low in all circuits with best performance coming in Delhi NCR as the film is based in that area. The business was low at multiplexes and single screens.
ISHAQZAADE released exactly one year ago from the same makers (Yash Raj Films) with the same leading actor (Arjun Kapoor) grossed around 15.50 crore and actually went on to sustain and gross 47 crore nett.
The weekend trend suggests that it will be impossible for AURANGZEB to go that way as there was no growth on Saturday and just 10-15% growth on Sunday. Breakup: Friday 3.75 crore Saturday 3.75 crore Sunday 4.50 crore

GO GOA GONE collected around 18 crore nett in week one as the weekday collections were steady although on the lower side. The film has seen a huge reductions of shows on its 8th day and so, a 25 crore nett collections looks the best case scenario for its lifetime business.
The bulk of the business for the film has come from Mumbai and Delhi/UP with these two circuits contributing over 75% of the all India business. Other circuits like East Punjab and Mysore which tend to collect better for multiplex films did not collect as they should have.
GIPPI managed found an audience at metros. The film was released at limited screens [and limited shows] and keeping that factor in mind, the overall business is satisfactory. Breakup:- Friday 75 lacs Saturday 1 crore Sunday 1.25 crore Monday 40 lacs Tuesday 40 lacs Wednesday 35 lacs Thursday 35 lacs Total: 4.50 crore [Source: Taran Adarsh]
SHOOTOUT AT WADALA has collected around 51.50 crore nett in two weeks. The second week drop was around 75%.
AASHIQUI 2 is extraordinary as it collected around 11.50 crore nett in its third week taking its three week total to a huge 63.50 crore. The film has in fact emerged a blockbuster as it is sure to cross 70 crore nett and may even go to around 75 crore nett. Vishesh Films which are known to give sleeper superhits have even surpassed themselves with AASHIQUI 2 which is the biggest hit ever from the banner.
The film has remained unaffected by the new releases be it More >

AURANGZEB collected 3.75 crore nett approx on day one. The business was best in Delhi/Up and East Punjab while East and South collected poorly. The collections are lower than last year’s ISHAQZAADE which was a similar film with the same hero and makers. However, ISHAQZAADE boasted of a hit music. The film needs to show a big jump on Saturday and Sunday.

GO GOA GONE could not find much appreciation as it collected around 12.25 crore nett. The trend was also not good for the film as there was limited growth on Saturday and Sunday.
Business in Mumbai city, Delhi city, Pune and Bangalore was better but not big enough to make much of a difference. The approx breakdown for the weekend is as follows. Friday – 3.55 crore Saturday – 4.10 crore Sunday – 4.50 crore TOTAL – 12.15 crore
Go Goa Gone was steady on Monday but with low collections. The Monday business was around 45-50% lower than Friday as it collected around 1.75-2 crore nett. The four day business is around 14 crore nett and the week should go to around 18 crore nett plus.
GIPPI fared poorly over the weekend while FOUR TWO KA ONE was a washout.
The last week’s release BOMBAY TALKIES performed very poorly as it grossed 6.25 crore nett approx in week one.
Aashiqui 2 collects 47 cr in 2 weeks

AASHIQUI 2 had a good second week despite the release of SHOOTOUT AT WADALA as it collected 13 crore nett taking the two week total to 47 crore nett approx.
The film is sure to cross 50 crore nett and could even do it by the end of the third weekend. The film is a bigger hit than the other sleeper hits of the past two years like MURDER 2 and KAHAANI. It has the same budget as MURDER 2 but has already crossed the share of that film and will also cross the share of KAHAANI soon and is also less costly than that film.
AASHIQUI 2Â should finish with business in the 52-55 crore nett range.

GO GOA GONE collected around 3.75 crore nett on its first day as per early estimates. The business was mainly coming from the big metros. For instance, Delhi city collected around 60 lakhs from its 35 odd cinemas while the UP contribution was less than 30 lakhs from its 60 odd cinemas.
The film is dependent on how well the metro multiplexes can grow on Saturday and growth will have to be strong to compensate for other cities outside metros which are not likely to grow much.
The film was marketed as ‘India’s first Zom-Com’ but these type of films hardly have a market in India. So despite good promotion the collections are not too impressive.
The other release GIPPI is a film totally dependent on word of mouth and as expected has started with low figures.
Salman Khan’s 5 films accumulates nearly 1200 crore

Salman Khan at the moment is on the best run that a leading male actor has ever seen. His last five films have a combined total close to the 1200 crore gross mark worldwide.
It is the first time that an actor has given five blockbusters in a row although it must also be said that it is easier today to give bigger hits as business is all about initial week so star power takes a film a long way where as 20 years ago films had to run for twenty five weeks to be blockbusters and 40 years ago it was a fifty week run that made a film a blockbuster.
The worldwide GROSS figures of Salman Khan’s last five films are as follows.
Dabanng 2 – 250 crore Ek Tha Tiger – 310 crore Bodygaurd- 230 crore Ready – 184 crore Dabangg – 215 crore TOTAL -1189 crore

SHOOTOUT AT WADALA had a fairly steady Monday with collections being 50% lower than Friday. The film had a normal Monday drop as it collected around 4-4.25 crore nett. The collections are okay on Monday but as the weekend was not that high the film still has a lot of to do over the weekdays and second weekend. The film should close the week at 38-39 crore nett if it keeps up the normal weekday trend till Thursday.
Shootout At Wadala 25.50 cr; Bombay Talkies Flop; Aashiqui 2 Super-Hit

SHOOTOUT AT WADALA grossed around 25.50 crore nett over its first weekend with 8.25 crore nett on Friday, 7.50 crore nett on Saturday and a likely 9.75 crore nett total on Sunday. The film jumped well on Sunday as mass regions fared fell.
The overall weekend business means the films fate depends on the weekday business as the weekend business was moderate. The film has scored in Mumbai circuit with figures around 10 crore nett. CP Berar and Nizam are also pretty good but other circuits have seen average to below the mark business.
Monday to Thursday is the key for the film as was seen last week with AASHIQUI 2 which did not have a great weekend but the weekdays simply took the film to another level. SHOOTOUT AT WADALA being action film is unlikley to be as staedy as AASHIQUI 2 but if the film can somehow get around 40 crore nett by Thursday it will be a decent first week.
BOMBAY TALKIES, meanwhile, is a flop as it collected around 3.75 crore nett over its first weekend. The film started at a little over 1 crore nett on Friday and then had a 25% jump on Saturday while Sunday collections remained similar to Saturday.
The weekend business is so low that even if weekdays do steady business it is irrelevant to the overall outcome.
The film is unlikely to even recover the money spent on print and advertising from theatrical business in India.
Lastly, AASHIQUI 2 has emerged the first SUPER HIT of the year as it grossed around 8 crore nett in its More >
