The 10-day week for Eid films, namely Ghabrana Nahi Hai, Dum Mastam, Parde Mein Rehne Do, Chakkar, and Tere Bajre Di Rakhi, has not proven as kind at the Box Office as the filmmakers had hoped for. As per trade analyst Ali Zain, our local Eid films struggled to gain traction on weekdays, and the following results are where Box Office collections stand thus far.
Ghabrana Nahi Hai
Leading the Eid film race is the Saba Qamar, Zahid Ahmed, and Syed Jibran starrer. Here’s a day-wise breakdown:
Tuesday ( Eid Day 1): 68 lacs
Wednesday ( Eid Day 2): 1.15 crore
Thursday ( Eid Day 3): 1.17 crore
Friday to Sunday: 1.7 crore
Weekdays: 1.3 crore
Total collection: 6 crore
Dum Mastam
Second in line is the Imran Ashraf and Amar Khan starrer. Here’s a day-wise breakdown:
Tuesday ( Eid Day 1): 65 lacs
Wednesday ( Eid Day 2): 1.11 crore
Thursday ( Eid Day 3): 1.08 crore
Friday to Sunday: 1.20 crore
Weekdays: 96 lacs
Total collection over 10 days: 5 crore
Parde Mein Rehne Do
The Ali Rehman and Hania Aamir starrer is at the third spot. Here’s a day-wise breakdown:
Tuesday ( Eid Day 1): 44 lacs
Wednesday ( Eid Day 2): 76 lacs
Thursday ( Eid Day 3): 75 lacs
Friday to Sunday: 60 lacs
Weekdays: 45 lacs
Total collection over 10 days: 2.95 crore
Chakkar
The Ahsan Khan, Neelam Muneer, and Yasir Nawaz starrer, with far lesser show slots, is at the last spot. Here’s a day-wise breakdown:
Tuesday ( Eid Day 1): 28 lacs
Wednesday ( Eid Day 2): 54 lacs
Thursday ( Eid Day 3): 50 lacs
Friday to Sunday: 40 lacs
Weekdays: 38 lacs
Total collection over 10 days: 2.1 crores
Analysis
An addition to this list, albeit without a daily breakdown, is Tere Bajre Di Rakhi, that has amassed a combined sum of 80 lacs over the past 10 days.
Where the Box Office collection for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stood at staggering 7 crores last week alone, official numbers for the film have yet to be announced. However, given the way things have shaken out in terms of shows and slots, one can expect the number to have risen significantly.
While this does not bode well for local releases so far, a massive pick-up during the course of the second week proves to be extremely crucial.
