‘Dirty Politics’ collects Rs 4.2 crore at box office
MUMBAI: Badmashiyaan, a film sans face value and amateur script and handling, with exams season to contend with, adds to the year’s disaster list. The film had one of the poorest opening day with collections ranging around Rs 10 lakh; thereafter, any improvement was irrelevant. The film managed to collect just about Rs 50 lakh in its first weekend.
The Mallika Sherawat starrer Dirty Politics does somewhat better. The film managed to put together Rs 4.2 crore in its opening weekend.
Hey Bro, a misadventure by choreographer, Ganesh Acharya, backfires. An old saying: Monies made in film industry stays in film industry. The film will prove to be a total loss of investments plus expenses incurred on releasing it. The film barely manages to cross Rs 50 lakh mark in its opening weekend.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha seems to be growing gradually by the day on strength of positive word of mouth and also due to poor oppositions limiting the viewers’ options. The film maintained steady collection in its opening week, albeit on the lower side, to end its first week with a reasonable Rs 10.64 crore. And, thanks to positive reports again, the film does better in its second weekend compared to its opening weekend by collecting Rs 6.72 crore (first weekend: Rs 6.8 crore) thus taking its ten day total to a healthy Rs 17.36 crore.
Ab Tak Chhappan adds little to its already poor opening weekend of Rs 4.4 crore to end its first week run with Rs 6.2 crore.
Badlapur: Don’t Miss The Beginning remained steady in its second week to collect Rs 8.3 crore to take its two week total to Rs 44.1 crore.
Baby has collected Rs 35 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week tally to Rs 79.6 crore.
