Amitabh Bachchan starrer ‘Bhootnath Returns’ rakes in Rs 18.2 cr at the BO
MUMBAI: Bhootnath Returns, the sequel to the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Bhootnath (2008), opened to a weak response on Friday but consolidated a bit on Saturday and very well on Sunday to collect Rs 18.2 crore for its opening weekend. The film should sustain today as well because of Ambedkar Jayanti holiday and, in parts for Baisakhi as well.
Main Tera Hero starring Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz is fair in its first week. The film has managed to collect Rs 36.2 crore.
Youngistan has added Rs 72 lakh in its second week to take its two tally to Rs 5.97 crore. The figure just goes onto show that it is a very poor performer.
Jal has collected about Rs50 lakh in its first week.
Ragini MMS2 has added Rs 1.1 crore in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 46.85 crore.
Queen continues its excellent run at the box office. The film has collected Rs 2.35 crore in its fifth week taking its five week total to Rs 56.45 crore.
