Box Office Reports…

Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest release “Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji” starring Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shruti Haasan and Shraddha Das received mixed response from critics as well as audiences. The flick took a dull start at box office on Friday but picked up slightly in the evening. It had just 40% response at most urban places on Friday morning.

With good reviews coming the film’s way and audience reaction too ranging from decent to good with no one having anything contrary to say, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji pretty much seems en route to turning into the biggest grosser ever for Madhur Bhandarkar after Fashion (which had netted Rs.27 crores).

Hopefully, the collections will rise considerably in the coming days.

Aamir Khan’s “Dhobi Ghat” on the other hand made a collection of Rs 13 crore in the box-office on its first week.

Dharmendra’s home production “Yamla Pagla Deewana” is doing well all over North India and the film is in the cusp of making approximately Rs 50 crore after its two weeks.

Now the audiences are assured that if it’s an Aamir Khan production it’s worth watching. Though the Kiran Rao-directed Dhobi Ghat was not for the masses, the movie has got it takers and is doing unexpectedly well in the metros. This small-budget film has collected around Rs 8.75 crore over its first weekend.

Dhobi Ghat with sterling performances from its cast and touching story-line is made at the cost of mere Rs 5 crore, but its weekend breakdown tells a winning story. The approx collections were Rs 2.85 crore approx on Friday, Rs 3.20 crore approx on Saturday and Rs 2.70 crore approx on Sunday.

Coming to Yamla Pagla Deewana, the movie is going great guns in the north. As per reports, it had a great second weekend with business of around Rs 8.50 crore approx. This takes the film’s collection to Rs 43 crore plus in ten days.

Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan continue to woo the audience with their No One Killed Jessica. The movie is running in its third week and had a decent second weekend of around Rs 6.25 crore approx which takes its two-week business to Rs 25.75 crore. It is now declared a semi hit.

Yamla Pagla Deewana is doing extremely well in the northern belt, yet, Bollywood lovers are having good time watching the past releases No One Killed Jessica and even Band Baaja Baaraat.
After making a heady start, Yamla Pagla Deewana fared phenomenally, especially on single screens. As per reports, the weekend business is above expectations with a figure of approximately Rs 22 crore. The movie is doing extremely well in North India but its business in Maharashtra and South India is not up to the mark.
On the other hand, No One Killed Jessica is doing good business at the multiplexes. The movie had a satisfactory second weekend collection of around Rs 19.50 crore. The collections on the weekdays were reported to be rock-steady. It stands a chance of crossing the Rs 30 crore mark.
