INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Audience had a lot to pick and choose from on Saturday and that reflected in staggered collections across four films in the running -
Malang, Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, Shikara and Jawani Jaaneman.Malang has been collecting the best and is more than the sum total of
all other films in the running
It is in fact exceeding expectations as Rs
Though a number in excess of Rs
10 crores would have been further optimal, even these are good enough collections and a positive indication at least
While Sunday is now bound to be good, steady weekdays from here on should allow Malang to pull through at the box office. As for Tanhaji
– The Unsung Warrior, it is heading for a very impressive lifetime total
On Saturday, it jumped by around 150% when compared to Friday collections of Rs
The numbers were truly superb at Rs
2.76 crores and that further indicates how much has the film been loved by audiences
The total now stands at Rs
263.43 crores and by the close of the fifth week, it would have reached close to the Rs
270 crores mark. Meanwhile, both Shikara and Jawaani Jaaneman have shown jumps of 50% each
For a small movie like Shikara, a number of Rs
1.85 crores is actually decent enough and now the total has reached Rs
The weekend collections would now cross Rs
5.50 crores for sure. On the other hand, Jawaani Jaaneman too will be around Rs
25 crores by the close of weekend
1.58 crores on Saturday which has pushed the numbers to Rs
The film is seeing a fair trend so far and though the merits warranted a better lifetime, it would manage to find itself in the vicinity of
30 crores before the close of its theatrical run.
