CITYLIGHTS And KUKU MATHUR KI JHAND HO GAYI Failed To Improve On Day TwoWe 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. Both Bollywood films tank at box office without trace.
''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 75 lakhs nett on day one which is disastrous followed by unimpressive 1.05 lakhs which means 2 day total of 1.80 cr nett. Film is heading for 3 cr nett weekend that is pathetic.
''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 40 lakhs on day one followed by 50 lakhs on day two and that means 2 day total of 90 lakhs. Film will not cross 1.75 cr nett over weekend which is shame.
Punjabi film ''Mudeyon Toh Bach Ke Rahin'', ''X men'' in 2nd week were better than new Bollywood releases.
