1st Weekend (Box Office): ‘ Dekh Magar Pyaar Say’ slows down while ‘Moor’ and ‘Shah’show growth.

We cannot vouch for the authenticity of these box office numbers given by independent box office tracking sites. But until the official numbers come from the makers themselves or until we have some official box-office tracking system in Pakistan this is all we have got. Also the numbers are revised at times and hence you may find th numbers a bit different for certain days.

This Independence Day was surely special as not one, nor two, but three Pakistani films were releasing all over Pakistan. What made this clash even more interesting was the fact that the genres of the three films were completely different. While ‘DMPS’ was a commercial film pegged as a romantic comedy, the off beat films ‘Shah’ and ‘Moor’ were a biopic and drama respectively. Moreover all these films had to face tough competition from the Bollywood release ‘Brothers’ as well as the past releases ‘Wrong Number’ ‘Bin Roye’ and ‘Karachi Se Lahore’.

The first day proved to be a success for all the films as each of them recorded great numbers. While ‘DMPS’ being a commercial film was obviously the one with the biggest collection, ‘Shah’ and ‘Moor’ also clicked with their target markets and recorded healthy numbers.

But once the first day ended, the audience had their feedback ready and this word of mouth was spreading like wildfire. ‘DMPS’ got bashed by both critics and the general public while ‘Shah’ and ‘Moor’ won laurels. This was clearly visible in the numbers as the collections of ‘DMPS’ fell while ‘Shah’ and ‘Moor’ grew. But since ‘DMPS’ had huge collections on the first day it still has a larger aggregate.

Here are the numbers:-

1. Dekh Magar Pyaar Say :1.75 crore

2.Moor : 62.11 lacs

3.Shah :60 lacs
