Banjo flops at the box office

Ritesh Deshmukh’s Banjo has flopped at the domestic box office as the film has fallen below the 1 crore mark on its first Monday. The collections over the weekend were poor, but the collections had to be somewhere in the Friday range for the film to have any chance of recovering costs.

Banjo has collected 6.75 crore in 4 days, the first week business will be around the 8.5 crore mark. The film will finish with lifetime business of less than 10 crore.

Riteish’s career as a solo hero began well with the success of ‘Tujhe Meri Kasam’, but almost all his recent films where he played the lead - including films like Bangistan, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and a few others have failed to make a mark.

  • Friday – 1.72 crore
  • Saturday – 1.95 crore
  • Sunday – 2.25 crore
  • Monday – 0.9 crore
  • Total – 6.82 crore

  • Nothing unexpected! It was always bound to happen! Reteish is not someone who can pull audiences into the theatres! The movie has to be the calibre of ‘Lai Bhari’ or ‘The Villan’ to get any initials country-wise. He should concentrate on multi-star movies (where his presence is a charm to watch) rather than solos to keep his career afloat!

  • @Indicine, Tujhe Meri Kasam was not a full-fledged success, it was very good in Bihar & some other states only! Correct your figures!

  • Sorry for Ritesh! He is not a solo hero for Hindi films but a perfect supporting actor! Better luck next time.

  • once upon a time in bollywoid

    Do you know once upon a time Global king’s movie YLJK collected just 40 lakhs lifetime collections ?? And in 2016 he failed to cross 90 crs when Salman became first actor to delivered two 300 crs grosser within an year !!!!!!!!!

    Too much fun !!!!!!

  • @Death Ranger, I don’t know what so bad that I have said you became so irritated. It was just an ordinary reply.

    I just meant when supporting actors are blamed for a failure of a film, they can be credited for the success of a film as well. It was a general comment.

    As of Jai Ho, Sohail is to be blamed for. A film belongs to its director. When he she messes up a film, no numbers of lead actors or supporting actors can take it to the level of success it deserves.
