Solo release ‘Gunday’ makes the most at BO
MUMBAI: Gunday made the most of its combination of two young heroes with growing popularity, its music and Valentine’s Day release date to take a bumper Friday at the box office with a figure of 16.12 crore. Being a solo release also helped. The box office levelled out on Saturday with 12.63, rising again on Sunday to 15.18. The first weekend tally of 43.93 already qualifies the film as another hit for Yash Raj Films.
Hasee Toh Phasee with a weekend of 15.75 crore remained steady on the lower side during the week to collect 25.35 in its first week.
Of the three other releases, Babloo Happy Hai, Ya Rab and Heartless, only the last one managed to reach near one crore mark.
Jai Ho added 3.7 crore in its third week taking its three week total to 104.9 crore.
Yaariyan, coming to the end of its run, added 30 lakh in the fifth week to take its five week tally to 32.95 crore.
Dedh Ishqiya has added 30 lakh in its fifth week to take its five week tally to 26.25 crore.
