B.O. update: 'Mausam' opening ranges from very good to dull



The much-awaited biggie MAUSAM fetched a heartening start at multiplexes of several centres. Places like Delhi, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Punjab in particular reported the best opening, while at several other places, the opening ranged from ordinary to dull. While the plexes reported better occupancy, the single screens weren't strong, despite the fact that the songs had become hugely popular prior to its release and the promotion has been superb. In fact, people within the industry were expecting a 90% + start across the board, at plexes as well as single screens.

The reports of the film are extremely mixed. While the first half has come in for unanimous praise, it's the second hour that is attracting severe criticism. The response, therefore, is bound to be affected in days to come. It will be interesting to see how the film performs during the weekend as well as on weekdays, given the fact that it has no major opposition to contend with this week. Next Friday, of course, will witness a barrage of new films, so MAUSAM has just one week to score. 


The second release of the week, SPEEDY SINGHS, opened to a weak response everywhere. In fact, the opening numbers were dismal.

Play the video below to check out the audience reaction to "Mausam"








Mausam Not to be Huge On Opening Day


Mausam Is One of the Most Awaited Film of the Year. Mausam is a Purely Romantic Movie and has a Touch of Air Force too.


Mausam Can Not Have a Huge Opening on Friday Due to a Couple of Reasons. The Run Time of Film is 2 hrs 34 Minutes & It Has Competion From Speedy Singhs Which has Unexpectedly Been Given High Screen Space. So, Maximum 8-10 Shows Are Being Shown at the Multiplexes for Mausam.






Mausam Will Have its First Day Box Office Collections Somewhere Under 6 crores. But if the Concept for the Film Clicks, Then These Kinds of Movies can have a really long run at the Box Office.





Mere Brother Ki Dulhan 2nd Week Collections


Mere Brother Ki Dulhan Second Week Box Office Collections Amount to a Figure that is Enough to Make MBKD Imran Khan’s Highest Grossing Film Ever.


MBKD Collected a Net 16 cr plus in its THird Week. This Takes the 2 Week total for MBKD to 59.5-60 crores. This is Huge And Crosses Delhi Belly’s 56 cr Mark.





Mere Brother Ki Dulhan Should Be Able to Do Some Good Collections in Third Week also.





Bodyguard Third Week Net Collections




Bodyguard’s Third Week Box Office Collections are Absolutely Awsome. Bodyguard Has Done a Collections Of 7.85 crores Following a Fall From Monday.

This Takes Bodyguard’s 3 Week Total Collections to a Huge 139 crores. This is Just 1 cr Short of Dabangg’s Collections And Will be Surpassed in the Coming Week.



Bodyguard Though Has Lesser Chances this Week as it Will Be Dominated by Mausam. But Still It Will Manage 2.53 cr Collections. More than Enough to Make BOdyguard the Second Most Grossing Film Of India in India.
