So, #Piku has a slow start but WOM is very good - will pick up later in the Day !
#Piku In which @writeonj writes a lovely little film out of our humdrum lives. Lots that's so so good but ultimately she owns the film
The week beginning today sees the release of two films - Shoojit Sircar's family drama Piku and the comedy Kuch Kuch Locha Hai. It also marks the end of the first week of Gabbar Is Back in the theatres.
The Deepika Padukone starrer Piku has opened to glowing reviews and good occupancies. Going strong in the metros like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, the film has registered opening numbers of 50%. And judging from the excellent word of mouth the film is garnering, it may do business worth Rs 6 crore at the end of the first day, which will be very good.
Sunny Leone starrer Kuch Kuch Locha Hai, on the other hand, has opened to poor reviews and faces tough competition from Piku. The film might find it a challenge to collect even Rs 2 crore by the end of day one.
Meanwhile, Gabbar Is Back has had a good run in its first week at the box office. After collecting almost Rs 40 crore in its first weekend, the film dropped only by 40% on Monday, notching Rs 6.75 crore. Gabbar Is Back collected Rs 5 crore on Tuesday, Rs 4.5 crore on Wednesday and Rs 4.2 crore on Thursday.
The Akshay Kumar starrer has collected Rs 59.86 crore domestically. While the film lost a portion of its business to the Marathi film Timepass 2, it can hope to have a decent second week even in the presence of a competitive release like Piku.
