DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY Had Average Weekend

Bollywood films have disappointed and no big films made impact in last 6 months except ''PK''. Now big summer season starts with 1st big release of YRF ''Detective Byomkesh Bakshy''.

Film has few things going for it - Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen after quite some time, director Dibakar Banerjee has big credibility among multiplex audience and critics and equity of Byomkesh Bakshy as character. Film released in close to 1240 screens in India which means its niche multiplex friendly release.

Film faced big Hollywood franchise ''Fast & Furious 7'' and seems eventually it has dented the film in big way. Film opened to decent occupancy of 35% all over. Film had to jump from evening onwards but that big jump was missing. Film collected 4.20 cr nett on day one which was average considering holiday.

This film''''s success was crucial as this will give birth to a new franchise as well as dry spell will end finally at box office. Film did not grow much in day two and there was only marginal growth of 5%. Film collected 4.50 cr nett only. Film jumped on Sunday and collected 5.55 cr nett but it was too little too late.

Film has total of 14.25 cr nett after three days and now it needs super solid weekdays for any chance of crossing 22 cr nett week one. As of now it seems that film will touch 20 cr nett week one and is heading for 25 cr nett lifetime which will be a huge disappointment.

Below are the collections for the film -
