DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY Crosses 25 Cr Nett In Two Weeks
Bollywood films have disappointed and no big films made impact in last 6 months except ''PK''. Now big summer season starts with 1st big release of YRF ''Detective Byomkesh Bakshy'' but film disappointed big time.
Film had few things going for it - Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen after quite some time, director Dibakar Banerjee has big credibility among multiplex audience and critics and equity of Byomkesh Bakshy as character. Film released in close to 1240 screens in India which meant its niche multiplex friendly release but content was rejected plus initial numbers were affected by ''Fast & Furious 7''.
Film faced big Hollywood franchise ''Fast & Furious 7'' and seems eventually it has dented the film in big way. Film opened to decent occupancy of 35% all over. Film had to jump from evening onwards but that big jump was missing. Film collected 4.20 cr nett on day one which was average considering holiday followed by 14 cr nett plus weekend.
This film''s success was crucial as this will give birth to a new franchise as well as dry spell will end finally at box office. Film did not grow much over weekend and was flat on weekdays. Film collected 19.87 cr nett in week one. This was expected weekend and its a poor total.
Film dropped on 2nd Friday as expected with loss of screens and new releases. Film collected 75 lakhs nett on 2nd Friday and 1.10 cr nett on 2nd Saturday followed by 1.42 cr nett on Sunday. Film added 1.89 cr nett on weekdays and collected 4.93 cr nett in 2nd week.
Film has crossed 25.03 cr nett in 14 days and it is heading for 26 cr nett lifetime. Film has done fairly well in overseas and crosses 9 cr in 14 days.
