Box Office: Parchi opens 2018 with a bang, has a strong first week!

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.

After a rather disastrous December where three Pakistani films released and couldn’t attract the audiences, the first release of 2018 seems to have done the magic. Directed by Azfar Jaffri and produced by Imran Kazmi, Parchi released on January 5 and set the box office bells ringing.

The film opened with a 0.9 crore day one, 1.1 crore day two, 0.9 crore day three and had a weekend of 2.9 crore. Interestingly in the first three days itself, the film managed to overtake the collections of films Arth, Rangreza and Chupan Chupai which had released prior to Parchi and had ample time to rake in better numbers.

However, the real surprise was what happened post-weekend. Pre-release, the film had a positive buzz thanks to the extensive promotions so a strong opening was always on the cards, but since the film hadn’t received much appreciation from the critics and audiences the film was expected to see a major dip in collections Monday onwards. But the film proved naysayers wrong and continued its vigorous run at the box office and added about 1.6 crore to the collections taking the total seven-day numbers to 4.5 crore.

The film has begun its second week and is running in cinemas nationwide to a healthy number of shows. Let’s see where the film ends its box office run. Stay tuned to Galaxy Lollywood for updates.
