All London Dreams Box office updates will be published here.
A few multiplexes in Bangalore : Started slow, morning shows were poor (20%).. but has picked up for the afternoon shows (40 – 50%). The word of mouth is good.
Mumbai : In Mumbai too the start was slow (30%) afternoon shows were better. But lower than expected for a big budget film starring Salman Khan.
4:00 PM IST update – Single screens are poor, business has picked up after a slow start this morning. Advance booking for evening shows are good. Critic reviews and audience reactions are pretty positive.
7:15 PM IST update – Business has doubled for the evening and night shows. Few screens at select multiplexes in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai are sold out (shows are 9PM). For those curious, Aladin looks almost certain to be a disaster, unless it picks up on Saturday and Sunday.
11:00 PM IST update – Day 1 at multiplexes was mixed for London Dreams. Collections improved drastically during the later half of the day at multiplexes. Not doing too well on single screens. More updates tomorrow, stay tuned.
*********************************
Saturday updates
Bangalore – Good business at multiplexes throughout the day, especially INOX and PVR Cinemas. Single screens aren’t too great in Bangalore.
Mangalore (Karnataka) – Fantastic collections at Big Cinemas (Bharat Mall). When we contacted the Manager of the multiplex he said “London Dreams is doing well, family audiences are loving it, collections should improve further on Sunday. Aladin opened very poorly, around 10% occupancy for the Morning show on Saturday. Its targeted at the kids and Sunday being a holiday, we expect a better response.”
Mumbai – Much like Bangalore, Business has picked up after a slow start on Friday. Sunday is expected to be even better.
Overall, all India business for the first 2 days should be around Rs 100 million (10 crores – nett gross).
*********************************
Sunday updates – Appreciation from the youth and family audience alike has resulted in excellent collections on Sunday all over. Doubled the collections of Saturday, which is a good sign. The weekend business is around 15 – 17 crores.
*********************************
Monday – The India Australia cricket match has affected collections. Overall Week 1 collections are expected to be somewhere between 24 – 28 crores, which is good. Much like Blue, second week is crucial for London Dreams. But unlike Blue which had no competition in its second week, two biggies release this Friday – Jail and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. While Jail wouldn’t prove to be much of a competition, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s APKGK would be the first choice next week. Will London Dreams show life this weekend or end up being an average grosser, remains to be seen.
Tuesday – Bad news! The collections have dropped after recording decent collections on Monday. The drop was expected (since Monday was a holiday) but with 2 big releases coming up, the show-count would reduce drastically at multiplexes for London Dreams. A HIT seems highly unlikely now. Open second week would have been ideal. Lifetime nett gross should struggle to touch 40 crores in India.
*********************************
Updates: London Dreams crashed further on Wednesday and Thursday. The first day of Week 2 (Friday) saw a drop of more than 75% compared to its first Friday. Lifetime nett gross should be under 31 – 32 crores which would be way below expectations. Below average / Flop likely. Very disappointing.
- First weekend – 15 crores
- Week 1 – 23 crores
- Week 2 – 7 crores
Total in 2 Weeks – 30 crores
Box office Verdict – FLOP

Dear Salman – please take Pritam as music director in some of your films. He will do wonders in composing music for you. Had Pritam composed the music of London Dreams, it would definitely have been a super hit or blockbuster!! Please take this suggestion very, very seriously. Anyway, if the awards are fair, London Dreams should sweep them this year, especially best actor award for you and ajay. It would be wonderful to see both of you winning the award jointly as lead actors of London Dreams for your stupendous performance.

November 15th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
london dream is not a flop movie.
it is running very gud in its 3 week
November 16th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Why so hurry to declare London Dreams a flop? Because it is your enemy Salman Khan’s film, eh Indian media? I am a British guy and I proud to be a f great fan of most of Salman Khan movies and especially of London Dreams! It is fantastic flick to be watch and blessed with superb and mind blowing career best acting by Mr. Salman Khan. If not Super hit, LD should definitely be a hit!

Farhad,
Waht the hell Akki stole the show from the show stopper and the biggest super-star of bollywood Salman Khan? You made me laugh man, either u have lack of knowledge or u are an arrogant Akki Cartoon Kumar Fan! Salman’s films created history in bllywood, what the hell Akshay’s films had done? Salman is declared as the hero of the masses, and every survey including google has proved that Salman has the largest number of fan following world wide! Salman Khan is loved by almost whole world’s people who are intersted in movies! Salman’s statue in Madam Tussade Musiam is the proof, because the musueam authority has said that amon all Indian star’s statues (MK Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwrya Rai, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan), Salman’s staute is most hugged and kissed by the visitors, his staue is more clicked by the camera and mobile phones! Kahan Salman Khan (Raja Bhog) and Kaha Akshay Kumar (Gangu Teli)! No need to argue, the world knows Salman Khan is dominant power to all other actors, even the great Actor Aamir Khan is proud of being a Salman Khan fan and friend, then wht the hell Akki is? For MSK, Salman Khan was nominated as the best actor (but didn’t get because of obvious reason, the truth is- awards are only for SRK or Hrithik because they pay for award), how u can say that a supporting actor stole the show from the leading and powerful man Salman Khan, oh LoL! In Jaan-e-Mann also, Akshay only managed to do a cartoon type supporting role to Salman Khan, nothing else! Akshay started to get success only 2-3 years ago, but Salman became Super-star right from his very 1st film as a hero, long long 20 years ago! And don’t make the people laugh by saying Bhagyashree was more on lead than Salman in Maine Pyar Kiya, oh man… shit… LOL, where is Bhgyashree after Miane Pyar Kiya and where is Salman Khan??? Think with calm and coold brain… u will find the answer! U are saying like Salman ever=green enmy media, in every successful film… the media try to give all the credit to Salman’s co-star like Madhuri in HAHK, Saajan, Karsima in Biwi No.1, Ajay Devgan in HDDCS and many more, but see the proof, where are all the other actors who were so called the credit taker or the show stealer of every succesfull film of Salman Khan, how unfair and unjustice, if a film od Salman is flop… then all credits goes to Salman but if hit u people start dieing to steal the credit away from Salman, but no problem, u know… u try million times to take the credit away from the charming and charismatic man but the people love him more than anything! and the LOVE of the people is all for him, he doesn’t need anything else, because the people’s love proves that he is still the biggest super-star of bollywood, where Akki (NO DOUBT A GOOD PERSON) still needs many million miles to achieve what Salman already has under his feet! So, stop bullshit arguments and accept the truth that Salman is the superior man than any Akki or Lukki!

agar ld flop hai toh , yeh bahut sad news hai bcoz itny brriliant movie maine last 10 years mai bhi nhi dekhi hogi. but due to several movies releasing after a week, its bound to affect the collections(due to strike). i think salmans is in top form. his only weak area is his style of promoting movie. he shud promote his films seriously as his movies have everything what we wants. his movies r brtter than srk nd aamir. srk can only do romantic movies and more often nautanky. but gud news is tht salman nd his films will sweep all awards for 2009 year.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Indicine Team…
I say this is aberrant statement… LD is declared as Hit…
I agree the collections went down, but its a hit… Plz I request you to post true comments. salman is scapegoat thru out his career. people take the pros of him…
So plz verify, most of the media says LD is Hit…. Team u also dumping the motivational aspects of Salman khan fans…
Plz this site is too gud…so verify and post.. Also I head vipul is planning for a success party
November 18th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
