Azhar has under-performed at the box office on Friday, as the film has collected Rs 6.3 crore on Day 1. The Emraan Hashmi starrer didn’t show any growth at multiplexes, even though it opened well at single-screens on Friday morning.
The problem for the film was the multiplex business in major cities, where the occupancy was poor throughout the day. These centres usually start slow and grow towards the end of the day, but multiplex business remained flat throughout the day.
It remains to be seen where the film goes from here, because growth at multiplexes has to come on Saturday if the film has to have any chance of recovering costs through theatrical business.
#IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 7.5 crore for Azhar, which was where the film should have been on Day 1 – after a excellent marketing campaign that extended to Emraan and Azhar making appearances during the IPL which is watched by millions. The prediction is inaccurate by 1%.
Should have been better. Will need to do well now on Sat n Sun.
@ Indicine : How much does it need to be a hit?
So high figure… It’s match fixer’s movie.
So it means emran is officially a struggler!
His biggest hit is jannat 2 ..a sequel nd it did only 56 . That’s such a low highest grosser (not included raz 23 nd TOP ASAP they were lead by females)
so 6 super hit films in 2016 till may.there as follows.
january-airlift
february-neerja
march-kapoor and sons
april-ki and ka,fan and baaghi.
I think all above movies have crossed 100 cr mark.
now which film will croseed 100 cr mark in rest of the year.probables are as follows:-
may-Sarbjit
june-housefull3(not probably) or udta punjab(can make if story is good)
july-sultan
august-Mohenjo Daro or rustam(but they are pitted against each other on same release day)should be interesting clash.
spetember-ms dhoni:the untold story or rangoon.
october-aye dil hai mushkil,shivay(#same date release.
november-rock on 2 or kahani 2(both sequals)
december-Befikre,dangal.
Wating for azhar! wating for azhar! while abusing Salman Khan and other star. Well now taste another flop :P
Now i can say emraan will be good replacement for chunky Pandey in housefull 5
Hahaha
Mamamia Aakhiri pasta .
Don’t forget once chunky was hero too
@ Kanz – no bro, verdict should be give on collections and if you make single screen oriented movie you should keep your budget low or economical. but Star power should be judge on footfalls.
People who were once convicted of match fixing and saved by strong politicians,are now being portrayed as hero and innocent.He fukn betrayed the nation.Now you want Indians to go pay to watch his story.Even if the film nice,I won’t pay my money to watch his shit fabricated story.
