CITYLIGHTS And KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI Flop On Day One
We are in the last week of IPL and small releases are trying to take benefit of lean period. Two Bollywood films, two Hollywood films and few big regional films released this weekend.
''Citylights'' was expected to open better but film opened to horrific numbers of 8%. But film had good reviews and rather good word of mouth so it was expected to jump from evening onwards. But after such a poor start, it needs remarkable turn around which never happened. Film collected 70 lakhs nett on day one which is disastrous.
''Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi'' was never expected to open and that is what happened. Film opened to almost 3-5% opening and few cancelled shows. Film had almost impossible task at box office and film collected pathetic 35 lakhs on day one.
Punjabi film ''Mudeyon Toh Bach Ke Rahin'', ''X men'' in 2nd week were better than new Bollywood releases.
