Mubarakan Day 1 Box Office Collections

Arjun Kapoor’s Mubarakan has taken a shockingly low opening on Friday, with the film collecting around 5.25 crore on its opening day at the box office. The Anees Bazmee comedy now needs nothing less than a miraculous jump in business over the weekend and then a strong ‘Friday-level’ Monday – to have absolutely any chance of doing well.

‘Mubarakan’ joins the growing list of films that have opened well below expectations on the opening day. ‘Raabta’, ‘Tubelight’, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, ‘Munna Michael’ – just to name a few – have all failed to take starts.

The opening day business of ‘Mubarakan’ is the lowest for an Arjun Kapoor starrer since ‘Aurangzeb’ in 2013. But even that film, with less than half the costs, opened at 4 crore. His last two films like ‘Ki & Ka’ (7.4 crore) and Half Girlfriend (10 crore) opened very well, but ‘Mubarakan’ has shockingly fallen about 30% short of a niche film like ‘Ki & Ka’.

Compared to other films in 2017, the opening of ‘Mubarakan’ is only a few lakhs higher than films like ‘Naam Shabana’, ‘Commando 2’ and ‘Rangoon’. Two of those films were cheaper and didn’t have a star, while ‘Rangoon’ was dark and unexciting.

The film itself is better than the collections, but multiplex business didn’t show a major upward trend Friday evening onwards. With ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ scheduled to release next weekend, ‘Mubarakan’ needs 50-60% growth on Saturday and double digit collections on Sunday.

  • @indicine every time ur prediction went wrong in jolly llb 2 tubelight mubarkaan do still go with ur 15 cr opening prediction for tepk and 17cr for jhms

  • ‘‘Raabta’, ‘Tubelight’, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, ‘Munna Michael’ – just to name a few – have all failed to take starts.’

    Except Tubelight all these medium budget films are not the ones for which you would get excited & watch on Friday itself.. I chose English films like Spider-Man Homecoming, War for the Planet of the Apes, Dunkirk etc on Day 1 because I was dying to watch them & already knew they were too good.. Then I saw those Hollywood blockbusters again during weekdays along with our Bollywood craps when ticket prices reduced..

    But now next I am obviously excited for JHMS & TEPK opening show

  • As expected, don’t know why you guys predicted 7+ , even if u see the advance booking it gives you clear vision that it fall under 6..

  • Kaabil is 10.46 cr. This has been quoted by you on your website. Pls check and don’t be biased other actors than SRK.

  • @Indicine I heard JHMS has a 12A certification by British censor. o will it affect Box office? and how did Befikre get U/A?

  • Bollywood is going through tough times because there is no creativity!

    A film like Bahubali 2 can Bollywood make it happen ?

  • WTF tubelight response was average & Kaabil below average ???
    No box office collections of jagga, Dunkirk, lipstick etc.. Not any interesting stats related to actors whose movies are releasing these days… Sleeping or what?

  • Worst start of 2017 Rasees and Kaabil…Superstars Clash…
    Salmans flop on EID….
    Ranbirs desaster…
    Bollywood Stars are enjoying only social media and awards.

  • Mango Peoples now a days in mood of watching something grand like Bahubali,Bajirao Mastani on big screen…They dnt want to spend hard earned money on such movies which can be feel on small screen easily…They want grandeur in every frame of that Movie which they will catch on Big screen…to me This is the reason for disastrous fate of Bollywood now a days!!

  • And Indicine seems losing It’s superb instinct of assimilation Public pulse!!that’s why Their prediction is very poor this year!!

  • I don’t know why critics praised this movie because going by the promos. ..arjun kapoor looked hugely miscast and anil kapoor doing overacting with lame jokes………i repeat arjun kapoor is one bad example of nepotism. ..

  • @indicine, your predictions are either very accurate (sometimes) or very wrong (most of the times). Industry is going through a bad phase, you can’t expect JHMS to open above 15 cr or TEPK above 12 cr.

  • Looks like the admins of Indicine have changed.
    Wrong FBO, some unrealistic answers in Q n A
    Accusations of being harsh and negative to SRK all over twitter

    WE WANT ORIGINAL ADMINS BACK

  • Indicine team used to be fearless, writes articles on bollywood news, FBO and LBOs predictions as real as they were even when some star fans disapproved. Recently, I strongly believe the team is becoming influenced by some bollywood big shots and u guys are seriously losing it. Ur team really needs to go back to ur good old days when ur site was highly fearless and trusted. Just my humble opinion….

  • lol at indicine who still reacting like shocking opening bla bla haha are bhai kya samjte ho yr is arjun kapoor ko, these arjun sid sushant are on the same level,inse ummid karna bekar hai
