WAITING And PHOBIA Doubles The Numbers, VEERAPPAN Shows No Growth

All Bollywood films bite the dust and only one small Hollywood film managed to beat them with ease. Now this scenario has become common with every passing week. ''Angry Birds'' has beaten handful of Bollywood releases with some margin on Friday though ''Phobia'' and ''Waiting'' did show super growth.

''Phobia'' managed to garner good reviews but film collected very poor 20 lakhs nett on day one. But reviews made its figure swell on 2nd day with 100% growth. Film collected 40 lakhs nett and it means it will cross 1.10 cr nett over weekend which is not good but still some sort of figure.

''Waiting'' never had chance though good reviews and growth in evening took it to 27 lakhs nett and it grew by 100%. It collected 48 lakhs nett on Saturday and it should collect 1.45 cr nett over weekend which is  still poor number.

''Veerappan'' was widest release so it managed 1.77 cr nett but even that was poor. Film did not grow at all with almost similar numbers on 2nd day which means it is heading for 5.75 cr nett in 1st weekend. It will struggle to cross 10 cr nett lifetime. Flop!
