MUMBAI – MAHARASHTRA – INDIA APRIL 16 , 2012 05.00 P.M.
It is 35th edition of my film diary . Next month my film diary will complete 3 uninterrupted years .
I normally post my film diaries on the 1st of every month . This time I was in Manali and there was no network there, so could not post it as per my norm .
Re-producing tweets from the twitter-handle of two eminent trade analysts ; Mr. Taran Adarsh and Mr. Komal Nahta :
#TereNaalLoveHoGaya *India* Fri 1.9 cr, Sat 2.5 cr, Sun 3.4 cr, Mon 1.5 cr, Tue 1.4 cr, Wed 1.2 cr. Total: Rs 11.9 cr nett. Rock-steady!
#TereNaalLoveHoGaya [Week 2] is maintaining very well, despite reduction in screens/shows. Fri 82 lacs. Total: Rs 13.82 cr nett.
Midweek BO: #PaanSinghTomar eclipses all releases, emerges winner! bit.ly/z7dlVX
#TereNaalLoveHoGaya collected Rs 3.77 cr nett, taking 10-day total to Rs 16.77 cr nett. Fri 87 lacs, Sat 1.2 cr, Sun 1.7 cr. Rock-steady!
#JodiBreakers had a drastic fall in Weekend 2. Will entail heavy losses. Flop.
‘Will You Marry Me?’ has had an extremely poor opening weekend. Flop.
Despite reduction in shows on Thu [due to Holi], #PaanSinghTomar and #TNLHG were better/at par with Mon figures. Excellent!
#Kahaani 3rd weekend 5.5 cr. Total so far: Rs 48.55 cr nett. Extra-ordinary!
Overseas: #AgentVinod is a big disappointment http://bit.ly/Haomgv
#AgentVinod has Rs 38.65 cr nett Week 1, below the mark http://bit.ly/tsob
#Kahaani collected Rs 8.5 cr nett in Week 3, taking the 3-week total to Rs 51.55 cr nett. Super Hit.
TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA review: bit.ly/w2iTxi – The entertaining 2nd half & hit music save it & make it a plus fare for Tips & UTV.
TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA: Rs. 12.5 cr, JODI BREAKERS: Rs. 9 cr, AGNEEPATH crosses Rs. 125 cr. Box-Office wrap: bit.ly/yHvClL
Agent Vinod opens dull at many centres. Given the weak reports, seems headed for losses. Cost too high, collections low in comparison
