The advance booking of Krrish 3 first opened at 4 cinemas in Pune more than 2 weeks ago. Most other multiplex chains opened their counters for the superhero film last Saturday. The response has been phenomenal – as good or better than Chennai Express and Ek Tha Tiger.
Trade sources say, about 14-15 crore worth of tickets for the weekend were sold in advance by Wednesday night itself.
Below we have reports from several cities across the country
Mumbai: More than 90 multiplexes in the city are screening the Hrithik Roshan starrer, with most screening the film on 14-15 screens. In Mumbai city alone, Krrish 3 will have more than 1200 shows on its opening day. This is a humongous number that is about the same as last year’s Ek Tha Tiger which had a much shorter runtime. Even though about 40% of tickets have been sold in advance, it shouldn’t be difficult to purchase tickets on Friday morning.
Delhi NCR: Huge release and plenty of shows in the NCR region too. Few morning shows sold out, the advance for the rest of the day and weekend is pretty good too. About 30-35% ticket sold here for the opening day.
Kolkata: Advance booking is much lower than Chennai Express here. Tickets are easily available for Day 1, select few show sold out. Could be because Friday is a working day.
Bangalore: The advance booking is very good here. Its a holiday in Karnataka for Rajyosava and business from the Mysore circuit should be very good.
Mangalore: Two theatres in the coastal city. Morning shows almost sold out, advance for the day very good. Again, holiday here.
Hyderabad: Excellent advance booking here, probably the best for any city in India. Many shows sold out, others have 80% booking for Friday
Tamilnadu: Krrish 3 has got limited screens due to the release of Ajith’s Arrambam. Business will be affected here, the advance booking is decent.
Uttar Pradesh: Very good advance booking in India’s most populous state. Cities like Lucknow and Kanpur are likely to put up excellent figures on Day 1.
Overall, the advance booking is very good across the country. The pre-release reports were excellent initially but with more people watching the film its getting mixed responses, which is always the case with big budget films with unrealistically high expectations.
@nipun
dont give statement of karan johar. he ll praise movie only coz hritik is working in his next movie shuddhi .n by the way every bollywood personalities will praise even pathetic movie of their friends .
@nipun ce deserve 4*, boxoffice number proves that.
@Nipun : no point in arguing wit Romance New_yr…. I mean who the hell is KRK? .. he hates HRO ..
I love SRK, followed by HRo and Salman.. bt I dont like Aamir yes i like his movies bt don’t like him
Will be watching the film tomorrow.
all those pathetic morons and haters those who are saying krrish 3 got mixed reviews are sleeping in dreams, go and check indicine.com’s critics review page and see it your blind eyes you losers, KRRISH 3 has got outstanding response from all and the climax is extra ordinary, this film deserves to be break al records and hrithik roshan deserves to be no.1 STAR of india !!!
advance booking itself is better than ek tha tiger and chennai express that too for a non holiday and pre diwali period still giving competition to holiday eid releases which is most lucrative period, thats the POWER OF HRITHIK ROSHAN, #HRTITHIKMANIA #KRRISH3MANIA !!!!
K3 got mixed to negetive reviews from critics,i give it 2 star.totaly boring
Krrish 3 is the most unoriginal and boring movie of the recent times. Go and check the reviews which are coming out on this movie.
I forgot to mention Vivek Oberoi.. his best performance as a villain (maybe) since I saw him in movies, after his best film Saathiyaa.
@Romance New_yr: I will have to agree on that…CE deserves 4*
good enough to pass 150cr
