With figures from several centres across India pouring in, the opening day collections of Krrish 3 is likely to come as a huge disappointment for the trade and fans of Hrithik Roshan. As per early estimates, the Hindi version of the superhero film has collected around 16-17 crore on Day 1. Update: The Hindi version of Krrish 3 has collected around 23-24 crore, while the Tamil/Telugu version has collected 2 crore, taking the first day business to around 25-26 crore.
Almost all centres are below the opening day business of Hrithik Roshan’s last release Agneepath, which released on a national holiday. In few others, business is on-par with Besharam, but at smaller centres especially in North India the first day collections was lower than Boss which collected 12.8 crore on its opening day.
The big question tomorrow will be, why did a film like Krrish 3, one of the biggest releases of 2013, carrying huge hype and curiosity, under-perform on Day 1? Sources close to the Roshans say, Rakesh Roshan, who has been in the industry for over 4 decades now, wanted to release his film on November 4th i.e after all the Diwali festivities. He was advised and later convinced to release the film on November 1st i.e 3 days before Diwali. The result? Dhanteras (first day of Diwali festivities) has had a major impact on business, as the film dropped by more than 30-40% late-noon onwards, even though the start in the morning was outstanding. The other option was to release Krrish 3 on Monday, which was a holiday, but the remaining days in the week were working weekdays. Unfortunately, since Diwali coincided with Sunday, they had to take a gamble which they did by releasing an extremely risky film like Krrish before Diwali.
Business is likely to remain on the lower side throughout the weekend, with Monday (a holiday) deciding the film’s fate at the box office. What that also means is, Krrish 3 will now rely almost entirely on word-of-mouth publicity to carry it through to safety.
Watched Krrish3.. It was much entertaining movie.. But.. I found some poor visual effects and some non-sence thinking in this movie..

Krrish 3 Gets Hit By Pre-Diwali Period Boss Drops Badly

Krrish 3 was hit by the Pre-Diwali period and put up low collections in many circuits. Still the overall the number will be decent for Pre-Diwali but only if the film picks up hugely on Monday when the dull phase ends. The business of the film depends on what happens on Monday.
Micky Virus had a poor first week with collections of around 7 crore nett..
Boss dropped badly in week two with collections of around 6 crore nett taking its two week total to 51 crore nett. FLOP
@indicine whats wrong with my these comments? please tell me.

Taran adarsh views :25 crores in day one.
WHAT DID I SAID….WHAT DID I SAID……….WHAT DID I SAID ……..WHAT DID I SAID????????abhi pataa chalaaa??? just wait for more sadness.
BOSS opening collections were far better. still it made profit for the producers hugely. but k3, because of big budget will flop even with 120 crores. very bad!!

Why didn’t indicine wish srk on his birthday yet?
indicine has this habit of prising the movies to sky high and later lamenting about it and starting new threads about new possibilities??? why… ??? why do you give far out rating sto all movies even besharam carried good rating from you and you hadn’t actually lambasted the movie which was the need of the hour…
who really think even to touch SRK’s CE this is a trailor for them.all are gone.now wait for dhoom3 whose conditions are going to be even worse then krrish3 all due to over expectations and over expressions of amir in dhoom3.no one could stop the king of bwood mr.SHAHRUKH KHAN.I think dhoom3 even can’t break the record of legend movie 3idiots.
