SAALA KHADOOS Had An Average 1st Weekend 

'Saala Khadoos' is promoted by Rajkumar Hirani and that is why despite being a small film it  some kind of pre release buzz in metros. Film had interesting sports theme and has R Madhavan in lead. But film is facing competition at box office from Sunny Leone starrer  sex comedy 'Mastizaade' and hit film 'Airlift' in its 2nd week.  

'Saala Khadoos' has got good to very good reviews and that helped film from noon show itself. Film should have grown from evening onwards but film failed to show expected jump.Also it is very limited release across 525 screens in Hindi and 300 plus screens in Tamil. That is why film collected 1.28 cr nett on day one. Film added 91 lakhs nett in Tamil. 

It needed big growth yesterday for any kind of chance in long run but it had slim growth of around 40%. Film collected 1.28 cr nett on Friday and added 91 lakh nett from Tamil. Film had two day total of 3.37 cr nett in Hindi and 2.36 cr nett in Tamil. On Day 3 of its release, Saala Khadoos earned 2.42 cr nett, while its Tamil version earned 1.78 cr. The film’s weekend total reached 5.79 cr in Hindi and 4.14 cr nett on Tamil, and a grand total of 9.93 cr nett. Film got real beating from 'Airlift' due to similar set of target audience as that film grew by 60% over 2nd weekend. 

Below are the collections for the film -
