PIKU Had Very Good Day One
Bollywood films have disappointed and no big films made impact in last 6 months except ''PK''. This year not a single mainstream masala Bollywood film worked and to make situation worse Hollywood biggies ''Fast & Furious 7'' and ''Avengers Age Of Ultron'' over-performed. Now its ''Piku'' which has opened to rave reviews.
''Piku'' is produced by Sony MSM and distributed by Yash Raj Films. Film released in 1600 - 1800 screens and it had opened to glowing reviews and decent occupancy. Film was solid in metros especially in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. Film had opening of 35% and it seems that with good word of mouth, film scored 5.50 cr nett on day one which was quite similar to what we predicted yesterday morning itself.
Film should jump big today and tomorrow which means minimum 19-20 cr nett weekend is on the card. Film is rather heavy on budget side which means minimum 40 cr nett lifetime required to recover costs including ancillary rights and it seems that it will achieve that.
