SHAMITABH Had Below Par Weekend

After disastrous beginning of 2015 with flops ''Tevar'' and ''Khamoshiyan'', below par to average ''Baby'', below average ''Dolly Ki Doli'', disastrous ''Hawaizaada'', there is not much hope for any releases this weekend. Amitabh Bachchan starrer ''Shamitabh'' looks a niche film and will struggle at box office.

''Shamitabh'' opened to average to good reviews as expected (check our preview and review sections where we predicted the same) but that will not help film''''s cause as it opened to poor occupancies. Film was somewhat better in metros but film has really poor opening across the country.

Film collected close to 3.50 cr nett on day one which was poor number. Film started day two on similar note and despite limited appreciation and face value, film managed overall very slim growth as big cities in central, north and west India failed to respond.




Film collected 4.75 cr nett on day two which was good jump of 30% but problem was low starting point. Film again jumped on Sunday and collected 5 cr nett which took weekend total to 13.25 cr nett plus. Film looks in real danger of getting into big flop zone until it shows tremendous stability on weekdays.

Below are the collections for the film -

Domestic Collection
1st Week
Friday	03.50 cr
Saturday	04.75 cr
Sunday	05.00 cr
Total Domestic Collection	13.25 cr
