Akshay Kumar’s De Dana Dan has opened to a fantastic response at the box office, once again reaffirming the stars super-strong fan following.
What came as a pleasant surprise are those long queues outside single screens across the country, with poor quality theaters in the remotest areas of Bangalore and Mumbai bustling with people all excited to catch Akki, Paresh and Suniel once again on the big screen.
While the business during the weekends was strong all over the country, its the first working weekday business that holds the key to the film’s success at the box office. Fortunately for Akshay Kumar, unlike his other films this year, De Dana Dan held up pretty well on Monday recording close to 4 crores – aided big time by the strong business at single screens.
The reports in the media of a drop on Monday, is mainly restricted to the multiplexes, which witnessed a drop of close to 50%.
With both films (Paa – Radio) releasing this week, targeted mainly at the multiplex audience, the second week of De Dana Dan should remain strong on single screens. HIT status or more looks highly likely now.
****************************************
- Day 1 (Friday) – 6.75 crores
- Day 2 (Saturday) – 8.5 crores
- Day 3 (Sunday) – 8 crores
- Weekend – 23.5 crores
- Day 4 (Monday) – 3.25 crores
- Day 5 (Tuesday) – 2.75 crores
- Day 6 (Wednesday) – 2.25 crores
- Day 7 (Thursday) – 2.25 crores
Total Week 1 – 34 crores
****************************************
Week 2 – Not too great a start on its second Friday and with the Paa wave all over the country, De Dana Dan is no longer the first choice. Due to high costs and dip in business from Tuesday, the movie is likely to be the 3rd Average grosser for Akshay Kumar this year. 2 flops to begin the year and 3 average grossers to end it.
Week 2 is likely to be around 10 crores nett. DDD should wrap up under 50 crores.
DE DANA DAN will be flop or below average .
With r or without r it is blokbuster.
De dana Dan is an Average fare at Boxoffice…. It’s doing better at single screens…
All over AVERAGE due to high costs…

De Dana Dan Has 6.50 Crore Second Weekend
Tuesday 7th December 2009 10.30 IST
Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network
De Dana Dan grossed around 6.50 crore nett over its second weekend taking its 10 day total to 40.50 crore nett. The films best business is coming from the North, Rajasthan and CPCI.
The second week is likely to do nett business of around 10 crore which will take the film to about 44 crore nett after two weeks. The film may take its lifetime business to around 50 crore nett depending on screen space available when Rocket Singh – Salesman Of The Year releases on Friday.
Overall the film will emerge an Above Average/Semi Hit affair with a distributor share of 26-28 crore.
the reports suggest that the distribution share will be 28 cr for lifetime!!
Even if Distribution share(DS) is 28 cr it is hit. As baba arts bought all india theatrical rights (including home video and satellite) for 30 cr. Which mean around 45-50% of it should be the distribution price (DP) i.e DP is around 12-15 cr. So 28 DS equals 200% of DP ( 100% profit) which is usually termed as hit in domestic.
and they have almost declared DDD a hit oversea !!
final verdict for de dana dan
above avarage
hit in north , rajhistan , CI
like Namaste London…..
movie got 42 cr in 10 days if and add 4 cr more for next 4 days so 2nd week will close at 46-48 cr
50-52 cr life time
overseas 15 cr.
it is biggest hit of akki in 2009 batter then KI and Blue…
Nauman— overseas is 18cr in 10days… 42.5cr in india..
distributer share 25cr… 6cr more DS `ll get it hit tag….:)
people the movie is still going strong at the single screens so don’t count it out as yet !!
pocket main rocket hai is a multiplex targetted movie so hopefully DDD would score decent on this weekend too !!
still no big site is counting DDD out !!
AND GUYS FOR YOUR INFORMATION !!
KAMBAKHT ISHQ WAS “ABOVE AVERAGE” !!
its not like other akshay comedy movie but still its good to enjoy. becasue akshay movies means paisa vasool
Hi all,
DDD will b a hit , cause fim already made 45 cr and it is still going gud at single screen.
@nauman and indicine team,

MEgha u suck ark or other star’s ass…idiot…tu pooja kar my nam is kan keliye or ver keliye or any other ur star keliye…kyo ki thumharaa pooja nahi saphal hogiiiii
de dhana dhan goal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is that the name of the movie ??
lot of people have congratulated me for saving them from this atrocity ..nee sitting in the theatr was like guantanoma bay for some and some said i would prefer marriage to de dana dan .. so with all their good wishes and all you lovely people here it has bombed at the box office .. the last rites are being performed as i write this .. please do not write further comments as i am in mourning like you all ..bhagwan iski atma ko india aur overseas mein shanti dena
here are some paid users with so many fake ids…….. they think only khan star is best.. but they hv therir own opnnnn… akshay is better thn all… akshay is self made.. from a water to super star.. akshay proves that he is diifrnt from others… now a days akki has no need to work with karan johar, yashraj or sanjayleela bhnasali.. THE NAME AKSHAY KUMAR is enfffffffffff.. in a real.. there is no khan star can enf to stand in front of AKSHAY KUMAR.. coz his single punch is enfff to break their fake bodies or 6packs hahahahahahahhahaha…
everyone knowssssssssssss… all critics and media are paid by some stars like shahrukh.. i dont have any prlsl intention to hrt u all… but according to me akshay kumar is the real king.. that proves his biggest demand… this site indicine always support for khan stars and their movies… this is wrong!!!
my comment wud b deleted… as soon i knw!!! but who cares… akshay is the best thats it..
bad news for khan star’s fans…. SHAHID KAPOOR & RANBEER KAPOOR HAS COME in this race.. & HRITIQ will blast on next year…with kites or AKSHAY se ye log vaise hi darte hain hahahahahahaha….. sirf yaha likhne se hi kuchh nhi hota karke dikhana padta hai!!!
tumhare jaise paid NAMUNO ke kehne se koi hit ya flop nhi ho jata…
now who think that shahrukh aamir or salman are the best.. is mentally challenged!!!
AKSHAY IS A KING OF HEART,KING OF COMEDY, KING OF ACTION & ROMANTIC KING TOO…
AKKI ki papularity day by day badti ja rhi hai… in AFRICA jaha INDUSTRY ke asali king amitabh bachchan ko bhi koi nhi janta.. AKSHAY IS FAMSSSSSSSSS.. isse badi baat or kya ho sakti hai
;)
i find all this written by neeraj as paid stuff!!!!
