After riding high on the Eid wave, and surviving the post-Eid-blues, all the films have completed two weeks at the box office but the steam seems to be running out. There has been no new major release this Friday, which has helped the films stay afloat but the mixed reviews have played a spoilsport which can be seen by the numbers that have come out.
The good part is that both Parey Hut Love and Superstar have not seen any massive falls and have sort of maintained the post-Eid numbers which though weren’t that great either, but well at least they are stable. The business now will see a bigger decline as Muharram has begun which is generally a bad time for cinema. Here is a detailed breakdown:
Parey Hut Love
The 11-day first week had brought in 15 crores at the box office. The second weekend then recorded a 2.1 crore number after which the next four days the movie has managed to bring in 1.10 crore taking the second-week number to 3.2 crores.
Given how the film is made on a huge canvas with a big budget it needs to maintain the numbers which though will be tricky given how Muharram has begun. However, let’s hope that the collections do not fall too much and the film continues bringing in money.
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 15 crore
- Second Weekend: 3.2 crore
TOTAL: 18.2 crore
Superstar
The first 11 days for Superstar were also 15 crores and just like Parey Hut Love, even this one saw a fall and has been maintaining similarly on lower levels. The second weekend brought in 2 crores and the next four days has done a business of 1.2 crores just edging past Parey Hut Love Monday To Thursday period).
HUM has a knack of managing their movies well when it comes to budgets and therefore while Superstar collections might not have been huge but considering the budget, they are good numbers. The Mahira Khan starrer, however, will find it tough from here onwards due to Muharram but we hope that it continues bringing in the numbers.
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 15 crore
- Second Weekend: 3.2 crore
TOTAL: 18.2 crore
Heer Maan Ja
Heer Maan Ja got sandwiched between the two big films, the collections have been on the lower side and the film is struggling to add money to its kitty. The film added 20lacs after 5.78-week crore in the first 14 days and looks like the film will not be able to touch the 10 crore mark. Whether it is in the safe territory or not depends on the budget which different numbers are floating in the market.
- 11 Day Extended Week 1: 5.78 crore
- Second Weekend: 0.93 crore
TOTAL: 6.71 crore
Final Word
Eid-ul-Azha 2019 numbers have not been too encouraging and since there is no new big-ticket content coming up, this dismal performance will just make things tougher for the ailing industry of ours.
