The first release of the year ‘Ho Mann Jahaan’ completes its first weekend gloriously amid all the fanfare. The film registers the third biggest weekend on the domestic box office, staying behind JPNA and Waar.
The film minted more than 4 crore on the box office in three days. The collections seem impressive for a Pakistani film sharing screens with two Bollywood biggies, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starer Dilwale and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, running strong across the country even in the third week of their release.
The break down of day to day collections of HMJ, as reported by Box Office Details (BOD), is as follows:
- Day 1 (Friday) – 1.4 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday) – 1.5 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday) – 1.25 crore
- Total – 4.15 crore
Ho Mann Jahaan received favorable reviews from the critics and audience alike. The film is expected to have a strong Monday due to heavy advance bookings in the multiplexes. But, the fate of the film grossing in double digits will heavily depend on the coming days before entering the second week.

As we reported earlier, Revenge of the Worthless has been delayed again and not releasing on 15th, so there is no other Pakistani film releasing in next two weeks until Hijrat releases on 21st. If the audience likes the film and the word of the mouth plays its role, then film can continue its journey seamlessly. But, it is too early to say anything about the unpredictable business of cinema.
