‘Kick’ continues successful run at BO
MUMBAI: Entertainment, which opened to rather tepid response, continued to remain so; the film’s mouth publicity reports were not very complementary either. There was little raise over the Friday collections on Saturday.
However, the film has been able to manage a not so encouraging Rs 30.9 crore. The film showed little improvement on Saturday but did better on Sunday improving by about 25 per cent over its Friday figures. Next weekend offers four holidays with Independence Day on Friday and Gokul Ashtami on Monday but that benefit won’t be available so much to this film as theatre chains are blocked for the release of Singham Returns.
Lateef The King Of Crime is a disaster.
Kick has maintained excellent collections in its second week cashing in on open run and the aftermath of Eid. The film crossed the Rs 200 crore mark on its eleventh day and ended the second week with Rs 49.1 crore thus taking its two week total to Rs 213.05 crore.
Hate Story 2 comes to the end of its run with adding Rs 20 lakh in its third week and taking its three week total to Rs 35.8 crore.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania has collected Rs 1.20 crore in its fourth week taking its four week total to a healthy Rs 76.4 crore.
Ek Villain has added 10 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week total to Rs 102.97 crore.

Rajat Kapoor directs star-studded murder mystery streaming from 10 April.
MUMBAI: Zee5 is serving up another killer collaboration and this time, the murder mystery comes with a generous side of dark humour and family dysfunction. The streaming platform has partnered with Applause Entertainment and Mithya Talkies to bring Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a fresh, twisted whodunnit written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and actor Rajat Kapoor. The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.
This latest offering continues the successful partnership between Zee5 and Applause Entertainment, which has previously delivered diverse hits such as Mithya, Bloody Brothers, and Jab Khuli Kitaab.
&TV Business Head of hindi Zee5 and chief channel officer Kaveri Das said, “Our collaboration with Applause Entertainment has consistently delivered distinct, high-impact storytelling. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a natural progression, reinforcing our focus on genre-led content with a compelling whodunnit premise and a strong ensemble cast.”
Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
