The long Eid ul Azha holidays are over and the films: Superstar, Parey Hut Love and Heer Maan Jaa are in their second weeks, trying to add more money to their total tally. Now while all three films had a good first five days, they started losing momentum in the next six days, and as reported in the previous box office report the films needed to sustain better to stay on the course of being hits.
The second weekend for the films has gone well but when we consider the fact that collections in the first 11 days had not been that high, the levels maintained do not look quite impressive. All the movies had gotten an open week with a huge number of shows, but the collections are taking quite some time catching up to the levels of business done during Eid ul Azha 2017, forget getting close to massive numbers of Eid ul Azha 2018.
Moreover, Parey Hut Love and Superstar were earlier going neck to neck at the box office these past few days, but after the second weekend, Parey Hut love has kind of edged past the collections of Superstar. Here is the detailed breakdown:
Parey Hut Love
The collections of the film on first post-Eid weekdays had fallen quite a bit as they were only a mere 1.6 crores from Monday to Thursday. The second weekend, however, showed some good gains as the film went onto collect a good 2 crores 10 lacs in 3 days. This showed a 60% fall from the first weekend which is not a bad feat, but again the film is sustaining on lower levels. This took the films 14 day total to 17 crores 10 lac which is a nice respectable number.
One interesting thing is that if the film can capitalize on the weekend audience then it will have another good upcoming weekend as no big film is coming out, allowing the film to do good business in the long run. Good business in the coming days is very important for Parey Hut Love as the film is riding on a big budget.
- Eid Holidays ( Mon- Thur): 8.4 crore
- Extended Eid Weekend ( Fri- Sun): 5 crore
- Weekdays ( Monday- Thursday): 1.6 crore
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 15 crore
- Second Weekend ( Friday- Sunday): 2.1 crore
TOTAL: 17.10 crore
Superstar
Superstar, as reported in the previous box office report was going neck to neck in the first 11 days as the total of this film was also 15 crores but in the second weekend it raked in about 2 crores and now this film is a tad bit behind Parey Hut Love. Superstar at the moment stands at a cumulative total of 17 crores, which on the brighter side is the highest collection ever for a Mahira Khan starrer, beating her previous best Ho Mann Jahaan.
Superstar could have maintained better numbers but the collections here arent alarming, because the budget is not as high as Parey Hut Love. The film, however, has the potential to improve by sustaining better in the coming days and taking the lifetime run above the 20 crore mark.
- Eid Holidays ( Mon- Thur): 8.20 crore
- Extended Eid Weekend ( Fri- Sun): 5 crore
- Weekdays ( Monday- Thursday): 1.8 crore
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 15 crore
Second Weekend ( Friday- Sunday): 2 crore
TOTAL: 17 crore
Heer Maan Ja
Heer Maan Ja was always choice number three for the audiences but it still did decent business. The movie hadn’t held quite well post the Eid festivities and the second weekend was no different. he movie has taken its 14 day total to 6.5 crores approximately which is a decent number for the film.
- Eid Holidays ( Mon- Thur): 3.8 crore
- Extended Eid Weekend ( Fri- Sun): 1.3 crore
- Weekdays ( Monday- Thursday): 0.68 crore
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 5.78 crore
- Second Weekend: 73 lacs approximately
TOTAL:6.50 crore
Final Word
The month of Muharram starts from the upcoming weekend on Sunday, during which many cinema-goers avoid watching movies. This will not be great news for the movies as they have relatively done better on weekends. However, we do hope that the collections continue coming in the month. The coming five days will be vital for the lifetime run of these movies.
