DILWALE fell 55% on Monday as compared to Friday which is a bit more than the normal drop. Also with less business consumed on the weekend due to the clash the weekday trend should be better than normal. The business of DILWALE over the first four days is as follows.
Friday - 20,85,00,000
Saturday - 19,50,00,000
Sunday - 23,00,00,000
Monday - 9,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 72,85,00,000
The first week business will probably be around 95 crore nett and then remains to be seen how well can it do in Xmas week. But with this Monday drop a real big number is out of the question.
------------------
BAJIRAO MASTANI was very steady on Monday dropping just 15% on its first Monday as comapred to Friday. The hold was similar all in most circuits but Mumbai leads with 21 crore nett apprx business as it has held from higher levels. The business of BAJIRAO MASTANI over the first four days is as follows.
Friday - 12,25,00,000
Saturday - 15,00,00,00
Sunday - 17,75,00,000
Monday - 10,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 55,25,00,000
The weekend growth did not suggest this type of hold on Monday but that is probably as the film could not show optimum growth due to competition from DILWALE which scored over the weekend. The first week business should go to around 80 crore nett plus and the film should be able to take benefit of holiday period next weekend.
