GABBAR IS BACK Had Good Saturday
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 flow of big Bollywood releases started with Akshay Kumar starrer ''Gabbar Is Back''.
''Gabbar Is Back'' has opened in 3000 screens and this kind of release coupled with holiday on Friday means that film should cross 10 cr nett mark bare minimum. Ideally collection target of the film was 15 cr nett mark which would had brought confidence back to trade. But still film collected good 13.05 cr nett on Friday. Film will be aided by again on Monday due to bank holiday.
Film started slowly on Saturday in morning but film again performed well from evening onwards especially in smaller towns and non metros. Film collected 11.65 cr nett on day two and that was very good considering rather modest day one. Film is weak in metros and high end multiplexes which might prove crucial in wrong run.
Marathi film ''Timepass 2'' again took away at least 2 cr nett from ''Gabbar Is Back'' in first two days. Now film has to score Sunday 15% higher than Friday in order to reach 40 cr nett weekend.
Below are the collections for the film -
