YAARIYAN Collects 36.50 Cr Nett In Two Weeks

''Yaariyan'' was not expected to score at box office but we predicted its weekend business to be around 15 cr nett weekend and that is what happened. Film actually surpassed that too and managed healthy total beating its fancier rival ''Dedh Ishqiya'' at box office.

''Yaariyan'' collected 20 cr nett over the weekend and finished week one around 31 cr nett plus. Film managed to stay ahead over weekend one but now lagging behind ''''Dedh Ishqiya'''' due to not so great word of mouth. But still film has done superb business considering new cast and budget.

Film collected 75 lakhs on 2nd Friday and further added 95 lakhs on 2nd Saturday. Film further added 1.25 cr nett on Sunday, 55 lakhs each on Monday and Tuesday followed by 50 lakhs on Wednesday and Thursday each. Film has collected 36.50 cr nett in 14 days and will finish now with 38 cr nett lifetime business which is fantastic.

Though a bit better word of mouth and film would had collected 50 cr nett after such a strong week one.

Film had COP of 9 cr and P & A around 10 cr which means total budget of 19 cr. Film has recovered 7-9 cr from satellite and other revenues and it seems that it will do business of 35 cr nett minimum from here lifetime and that takes film to the hit zone for sure with share of 15 cr approx. It seems that we have first hit of 2014!
