Kick vs Happy New Year: Final Box Office Comparison and Analysis

Shahrukh Khan’s Happy New Year has fallen short of the lifetime collections of Salman Khan’s Kick, which remains the highest grosser in India this year. While Happy New Year was expected to beat Kick after a record-breaking opening day of Rs 44.97 cr, the film failed to show enough growth on its first Sunday and the drop on Monday meant that the Farah Khan film was always going to find it difficult to cross the 233 crore business of Kick.

The Shaukeens Weekend Box Office Collections

‘The Shaukeens’ has done fairly well in its first weekend at the domestic box office. The film has collected Rs 18.53 crore, which is a decent total considering the star cast of the film. On Friday, the film opened slow, picked up on Saturday and managed to collect about 7 crore on Sunday. The fate of ‘The Shaukeens’ will be decided depending on how well its fares on Monday (today). The reports are mixed, and the word-of-mouth is certainly not as good as some of those films that start slow and then go from strength-to-strength over the weekdays. The Shaukeens First Weekend Collections Friday -  5.12 cr Saturday - 6.35 cr Sunday – 7.06 cr Weekend Total – 18.53 cr

The very next moment, PK disappears and goes behind the girls who have gathered around the well.

The Shaukeens Box Office Opening

The Shaukeens has taken a decent start at the box office on Friday. Given the star cast of the film (Akshay Kumar only makes a special appearance), The Shaukeens has released on nearly 1900 – 2000 screens, which is higher than most medium-budget films released this year. It should cross the 5 crore mark if it evening / night shows hold up.
