Ishqiya Box Office Report – Likely to be the first clean-hit of 2010

Box office is extremely unpredictable, we have said it before, we say it again. Who would have thought, a film like Ishqiya with no major star to pull audiences to theaters, released alongside an Amitabh Bachchan film would not just out-gross it, but do so with more than double collections?

To say Ishqiya has killed Rann at the box office would be an understatement. The Vishal Bharadwaj produced film opened to a good response on Friday, picked up on Saturday and posted good numbers on Sunday too. The weekend nett is around 10 crores, which, for a film like Ishqiya is excellent.

The word of mouth is strong and the Naseeruddin Shah – Arshad Warsi – Vidya Balan starrer is expected to nett around 15 – 16 crores in Week 1. With no competition in Week 2, Ishqiya should easily be the first clean-hit of 2010.

Go Ishqiya.. It’s not abt the starcast, but performances, story, direction etc. If it’s a good movie, it will work. Remember Aashqiue? ;D
The movie Rann is just not appealing. And Mr.Amitabh is to be seen in so many movies and projects, that there is nothing exciting abt him. He needs to be selective.

Indicine, Can you keep giving us an update on Veer as well. Is it likely to get a hit status? How much does it need to net in order to be considered a hit?

Its a clean hit movie. If we go with collection against budget of movie then it’ll be called super hit after the life time business+Satellight rights+video rights of ishqiya movie. On the otherside if we go with criticism then i want to tell you all, its a wonderfull movie which has a very strong script and also nicely characterised and performed by all artists. I’ll give this movie four (****) STAR.

Ishqiya Grosses 1.50 Crore Nett On Monday

Tuesday 2nd Febuary 2010 19.00 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

Ishqiya did around 1.50 crore nett on Monday. The collections are pretty steady at around 40-45% below its Friday figures. The total business in four days is approx 11 crore nett.

The first week is looking to end up at around 14 crore nett which would be a good result for the film. The film has only a small film like Striker for competition this week which should enable it to sustain well in week two. In circuits like Delhi/UP and East Punjab the film is not only doing better business than a similar sized release like Paa but also a bigger budgeted successful film like All The Best.

Ishqiya has chances to do around 25 crore nett lifetime all India business.

Raan is directed by Ram Gopal Varma.. right? Who wants to watch his movies after that biggest crap he did.. which called Aag?!! And why bigb agreed to work with him again? that’s the question?!! this director does good and bad movies.. so we can’t consider him as a good director.. I think when he’s in a good mood and really exited about any movie he makes.. so he does a good work.. and when he’s not.. then that’s the result..it turns out as a crap movie.

Raan is not encouraging to be watched on a big screen, not even on a dvd.. sounds boring.

Ishqiya did well because of the script..the script is new and everyone want to see how this bad woman treat these 2 guys in this movie.. attractive script for the audience.. attractive for me too, and Viday Balan could be considered now as a good actress after her performance in Paa.. want to see the movie but still not released in our country.. maybe this week

stick with this result

 
BRIAN S:  (February 3, 2010 at 8:27 pm)

SUPRISED AT THE BOX OFFICE REPORTS FOR I THOUGHT THAT RANN IS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE.
I ENJOYED IT ….AMITABH GAVE HIS USUAL GREAT PERFORMANCE.

DONT LET THE LACK OF INTEREST PREVENT YOU FROM ATTENDING AND JUDGING FOR YOURSELF.

BOTH ISQUIYA AND RANN ARE WORTH VIEWING….THEY ARE DIFFERENT FILMS….BUTH BOTH ARE GOOD.

Pankaj, your comparing a small-medium budget film with no big stars, to a film like Veer?
