We cannot vouch for the authenticity of these box office numbers given by independent box office tracking site Box Office Detail. However, until we have some official box-office tracking system in Pakistan this is all we have got. The numbers are also revised at times and hence you may observe fluctuations.
The super-extended Eid week of eleven days, which started with Eid holidays on Monday (26 June), turned out to be prosperous for both releases, ‘Yalghaar’ and ‘Mehrunisa V Lub U’. Both films have crossed the coveted mark of 10 crore in the run of 11 days. However, in the box office race ‘Yalghaar’ emerged as the winner by grossing close to 13.8 crore rupees. On the other had, ‘Mehrunisa V Lub U’ continued to hold up steadily and minted approximately 10.1 crore rupees.
After a slight drop in box office numbers post the end of Eid festivities on Thursday, the films picked up again on Friday when the weekend started. Both films did well on the weekend, but the real test began on Monday after the end of the seven days extended weekend. Both films saw huge drop in numbers on weekdays, as expected on the working days.
Now both films have entered the second week of their, with two new films ‘Spiderman’ (Hollywood) and ‘Mom’ (Bollywood) joining them in theaters. The second weekend will ultimately determine their fate and help in estimating how long these films stay in cinemas. From their screens share on the second weekend, it does not seem the films will be able to hold up for long. Let us see if our earlier predictions about both films turn out to be true.
