Jannat 2 collects Rs 240.5 mn in opening weekend
MUMBAI: Jannat 2 took a good opening on Friday but the foul words in dialogues and generally indifferent word of mouth failed to better its opening day collections.
The film collected Rs 240.5 million over the weekend. However, the collections have started showing a marked drop on Monday.
The other Friday release, Fatso, remained ordinary at the box office.
Last week’s release, Tezz, has been rejected by audiences, despite the success of lead actor Ajay Devgn’s last film Singham. Looks like it is the Desi action with a cause that works, not the mindless Western kind.
Tezz has been poorer than most films starring a popular hero in the lead. It ended its first week with Rs 147 million, after adding a meagre Rs 29 million in four days.
Vicky Donor continued to do excellent business and collected Rs 117 million in its second week to take its total to Rs 259 million.
Hate Story’s sizzling scenes failed to lure and the film just about managed to stay afloat in second week with a collection of Rs 19 million, taking its total to Rs 130 million.
Housefull 2 contributed a reasonable Rs 47 million in its fourth week. Its total box office collections stood at Rs 1.15 billion.

The list, available exclusively on the IMDb app for Android and iOS, tracks trending Indian entertainers and filmmakers each week, drawing on data from more than 200m monthly visits to the platform worldwide.
Further down the rankings, Raaka is keeping two of its biggest names in the spotlight. Deepika Padukone holds 11th position, with Allu Arjun close behind at 13th, as the film continues to find traction with audiences.
The list offers fans a weekly pulse on who is breaking through, who is holding steady, and who is fading. It is a barometer as unsparing as the box office itself.
