Aarakshan nets Rs 240 mn in first week
MUMBAI: The box office disaster for new releases continues. Not A Love Story, Chatur Singh Two Star and Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande have proved duds. The biggest sufferer is Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande, a film sans face value.
Meanwhile, for Aarakshan, the controversy, media hype and Gokulashtami holiday worked in its favour. However, the ban in Uttar Pradesh, late release in Punjab and Ramzan month along with lack of appreciation restricted the first week box office collections to around Rs 240 million.
Singham collected Rs 66.5 million in its fourth week; its tally now stands at Rs 958.5 million.
With figures of Rs 37 million in its seventh week, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara‘s total stands at Rs 832 million.
I Am Kalam collections after two weeks total up to Rs 8.5 million, while Chala Musaddi Office Office collected Rs 15.3 million after two weeks.
Murder 2 box office figures after six weeks is Rs 486.2 million, while Delhi Belly netted Rs 559 million after seven weeks.
