Fukrey got off to weak start at the box office as the collections on day one came out to be in the range of 2.5-3 crore only. On the other hand
Man of Steel had a good opening at most of the multiplexes. It was the third instance this summer when a Hollywood film opened better than a Bollywood movie.Earlier
Iron Man 3 and
Fast and Furious 6 had outgrossed the Hindi films released with them. Man of Steel won't be as huge as these two films, but it will be another good success for Hollywood which has seen its share at the Indian box office rising steadily since last few years. Fukrey will have to rely on the word of mouth to show good growth and come out with a healthy weekend numbers. However mixed reports can hinder the growth. Furthermore, it is primarily a multiplex film and will have a direct competition with Man of Steel as well as Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani. That further weakens its chances at the box office.
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 could collect around 32 crore only in the first week. That is noticeably lower than its predecessor's gross in 2011. The poor reports led to collections falling rapidly in the weekdays and trending suggests that it won't go much beyond 40 crore mark. .
Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani continues to do well and was the no. 1 choice again in the single screens. It was affected a bit by Man of Steel, but did better than Fukrey in its third weekend. The movie looks set to emerge the second highest grosser ever.
Next week sees the release of
Dhanush and
Sonam Kapoor starrer
Raanjhanaa.
