Kahaani opened slow with limited shows on Thursday, picked up slightly on Friday. On Saturday, with overwhelmingly positive word-of-mouth, the Vidya Balan starrer almost doubled it’s collections. Sunday was even better, as reports suggest better occupancy than Saturday for every show.
With collections of around 9 crores from Thursday to Saturday, the all India weekend collections should be around 15 crores. While the figure is much lower than films like Murder 2 (22 crore) and The Dirty Picture (31 crore) – Kahaani didn’t have music that rocked charts, had no sexual content and without the presence of a male lead, relied almost entirely on Vidya Balan.
In comparison, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, an out-an-out commercial film, with more shows and backed by a big production house like Yashraj Films, collected approximately the same (16 crores) in it’s first weekend.
Here’s hoping Kahaani continues it’s fabulous run at the box-office. It’s a film that deserves every bit of acclaim that it’s getting, and more! Congrats to the entire team, especially Sujoy Ghosh and Vidya Balan.
Good to see…Good Content films are not being ignore anymore…..!! way to go bollywood…
Another contender I see..is Vicky Donor….Indicine..if u can share the trailer..its very attractive with Ayushman Khurana (anchor) in lead role
Keep it up Vidya…you really redefined bollywood actresses.
It’s the star power as I already said.. If the dirty picture wasn’t released yet and Kahani was before, 100% the movie had flopped although it’s a good movie, can’t deny it, but it’s not an entertaining film for the audience, Vidya did it, congratulations
Very good movie.Well done vidhya n the team:)
Vidya is an awesome actress! I wish she gets Best Actress yet again this year! Way to go sweetie! :)
i think vidya is one of the best actresses and she always has very good performances . she is able to make films successfully without a khan or whatever that is great
Aashkaran, Vicky Donor Trailer has already been published. http://www.indicine.com/bollywood/vicky-donor/
what to say, vidhya rocked. i wish she should get the national award again for this film.
definitely , she will break all the records . it’s her time . what a performance.
katrina kaif and kareena kapoor proved that they are nothing and nothing and nothing.
but it’s still exciting that producers are going for this flop actress.
Let a new era in bollywood flourishes with smart vidhya balan and talented others . oh,
please no more kareena or priyanka . they are all finished . public don’t want to see this
nothing to do actress.
vidhya ji , come with another superhit ——– we all are waiting:::::::::::::;
Vidya goes to no1
