HAIDER Is Heading For 60 Cr Nett Lifetime

This was unarguably the biggest clash at box office of 2014. Two films, of diverse genre and for different target audience, were clashing at box office. ''Haider'' was underdog as everyone is expecting Hrithik starrer ''Bang Bang'' to bulldoze its not so fancy rival but on contrary its holding well even in 3rd week. 

''Haider'' released across 1250-1300 screens in India last Thursday and despite competition film managed to collect close to 41 cr nett in week one which was very good total. Film was good in Pune, Mysore, Gurgaon and other urban centers.

Film was now running in close to 900 screens in 2nd week which means there is not much reduction due to poor competition in 2nd week from new releases. Film started well over weekend and collected very good 13 cr nett plus in 2nd weke which was very normal drop from week one,

Film has left with 300-400 screens in 3rd week and still film is collecting very good numbers. Film collected 67 lakhs nett on 3rd Friday followed by 1.03 cr  nett on 3rd Saturday and 1.13 cr nett on Sunday. The good jump over 3rd weekend means that film has found acceptance among niche audience. Film collected 46 lakhs nett on 3rd Monday which was just drop of 40% from previous Friday followed by 40 lakhs nett on Tuesday and 36 lakhs nett on Wednesday.

Film has collected 58.45 cr nett in 21 days. Film looks good for 60 cr nett lifetime which is not a total many would had expected before release. Very good !

Below are the collections for the film -
