DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY Struggles On Weekdays
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.
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 in day two and there was only marginal growth of 5%. Film collected 4.50 cr nett only. Film jumped on Sunday and collected 5.36 cr nett but it was too little too late. Film dropped on Monday by 60% and collected 1.68 cr nett followed by 1.57 cr nett on Tuesday and 1.49 cr nett on Wednesday.
Film has total of 18.80 cr nett after six days and now film will collect 20 cr nett in week one and lifetime business of 25 cr nett. Film did reasonably well in overseas with 5 cr nett and it is heading for 17 cr worldwide share. Flop!
