Noor Day 1 Box Office Collections

Sonakshi Sinha’s Noor is a box office debacle, as the film has collected just 1.5 crore. The film opened poorly on Friday morning and didn’t show any growth through the day.

The writing is already on the wall as business on Saturday morning was at around the same level as Friday. Night shows will show growth, but the film needs to more than double its Friday business to have any chance of getting to a fairly decent total.

The last couple of months were about female-centric films, but none of those 4-odd films have managed even a decent opening day total. Naam Shabana was the best of the lot, but that film was also riding on the face-value of Akshay Kumar.

The ‘gender pay gap’ has been a topic of discussion, with Sonakshi Sinha recently making a statement that female stars deserve to be paid as much as male stars. The box office reality though is completely different. Even the presence of some of our younger male stars like Varun, Ranveer, Arjun and Sushant can ensure a bigger opening as compared to even a solo film featuring a top female star like Anushka or Deepika.

Phillauri, Begum Jaan and Noor have all failed to get a good initial. In fact, if Noor does not show a good trend over the weekend, the film could finish with lifetime business of less than 10 crore.

  • Hahaha….. And baby Sonakshi wants the same remuneration male superstars like Khans, Kumar, HR, Devgn and others get………!

  • That’s exactly gonna be the destiny of the Xmas relying half actor’s Secret Baunastar in this Diwali.. The blockbuster Golmaal series will crush our nanostar’s Secret Baunastar!!

  • The crying drama actor fears that if he makes films every like Akki, Salman or SRK, people may not come to see the same serious face — accursed by his own father — in the theatres. He smartly promotes films like Secret Baunastar, TZH or Dhobighat as others’ films and he’s just doing a role in it.
    If a film fails, the blame will be on the head of other casts just like Prateik Babbar. If it succeeds, he’ll take the credits just like TZH or RDB. Such a fake drama queen!

  • Salman khan charges per movie= 40cr
    Box office collection= avg 280 cr…
    For every 1 cr charges producer earns around 7 cr…
    According to this logic sonakshi’s movie earn avg 15 cr then she should be paid around 2cr…thats it…

    Still confused with the logic sonakhsi have given….

  • Good article
    I wish these female actresses read this article and comments of last article of sonakshi sinha…

  • and she is looking for teh same paid as male . shame on her i really dont like her and she thought she is bigger star . shame on her below 7cr lifetime

  • first she have to stopped act like she is bigger star , second she can’t act , third she is so old type unti type , 4th she is the one who said they need same pay as male . my suggestions is just marry with your BF and be a good hosuewife , you can’t act . this movie will finish below 8 cr

  • Oye asli sona, why are you wasting producers’ money doing women centric films at which you are not capable of. Try to do multi starer films with that you can survive like abhishik.

  • For starters i think female superstars can b gvn a bonus if certain opening figure is achieved and den part of profit if d film gets hit or a bigger status( like an income tax slab).

  • Kangna, Anuska,Deepika,Sonam think they are bigger star than Salman,Amir or Shahrukh but
    Reality something else.

  • Sonakshi Sinha has fallen flat on her face. Equal pay no way. Boi has written she had flying start to her career but forgot to write bcoz of salman n Akshay. Dabang, dabang2, rowdy rathore, holiday. Even without sona der was no problem but u cannot replace chulbul padey or Vikram rathod.

  • I know salman sleeps with shera but ab kyaa karey .. Fan hai toh hai .. Hum uske kaam ke fans hai salman ne deer ko maara hai .. Logo ko gaadi se kuchlaa hai parr.. Phirr bhi jo bhi ho hum uske fans hai aur rahenge .. Jab tak humaare salman Bhai ke pass paisa hai tab tak duniya ki koi bhi adaalath usey sajaa nai desakti .. Jo ukhadna hai ukhaadlo .. We stand with our criminal khan ..!

  • I m sorry to all akki fans I bashed him calling him as Canadian citizen .. But I respect him now I know that it’s difficult but yes from today onwards akki is my first preference over hrithik .. Love you akki .. .

  • Sona baby FYI..
    Golden rule of compensation..
    Compensation is given for performance you deliver and not for the effort you put..Hope you learnt your lesson. Cheers!

  • The first day collection of Noor is lesser/equal than SRK’s 1995 release Trimurti, 1997 Koyla, Salman’s 1999 Hello Brother/Hum Saath Saath Hai, even Sunny Deol’s Boarder

    And this Dabbang girl wants equal payment

    All heroines cant be Madhuri Dixit who could carry a movie on her own.Wo woqt gaya!!

    How she gets movies after this much of horrible run at the box office?

  • I agree with your pay argument, but only to a degree. It is not a simple issue. None of the movies you mentioned got good reviews either, so it is not fair to pin it all on the star. A good movie with a female star can make money (Piku, Queen, Tanu Weds Manu Returns), so it is more about the quality of the script. Only a few movies are written with good roles for women, so they have less roles to choose from. When Sonakshi was making only masala roles, she got criticized for being stuck in a rut and for not taking on more challenging roles. Now that she is she still gets mocked. The movie would have failed with someone like Sushant in the lead just the same.
