Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil has turned things around on Day 2 at the box office, showing massive growth in business all across the country. The advantage of a national holiday is usually around the 35-40% mark, but Kaabil has almost doubled its business from Wednesday. Some places which started slow on Wednesday, have more than doubled.
As per early estimates, the Thursday collections of Kaabil will be in the 17-18 crore range (Hindi version). The collections from Telugu and Tamil versions have shown significant growth in business too and it could touch the 50 – 55 lakh mark.
What’s working in Kaabil’s favour are the reports that are coming in from all over. The family audience came out in big numbers on Thursday and exhibitors say, the older section of the audience is liking the film as much as the youth. For a film to enjoy a long and successful run, it’s the family audience – especially at multiplexes – that end up giving the film those long legs to perform in Week 2 and 3.
The hold on Friday will give us a clearer picture on where Kaabil is heading. If the film collects as much as it did on Wednesday, it’ll be a very good hold. If the collections come in the 12+ range (which is possible because the occupancy was low on Wednesday) then it would suggest that Kaabil is upto something special at the box office. Anything lower than 7.5 – 8 crore wouldn’t be good enough, with the starting point being low.
The trend over the next 3 days will decide the fate of the film.
Kaabil Box Office Collections
- Wednesday – 10.43 crore
- Thursday (holiday) – 17-18 crore (approx)
- Total – 28 crore (approx)
Srk do lots of cheap & cheat moves from start thats why Raees ahead in collections but I hope that Kaabil will beat Raees soon.
