Sonam Kapoor’s Neerja has collected Rs 4.7 crore at the box office on Friday. The film took a fairly good start in the morning, as the occupancy was around 20-25% at metro city multiplexes.
With positive reports and reviews, the occupancy doubled evening onwards as the late night shows at select centres were running at 65% plus occupancy.
The big plus for Neerja will be the word-of-mouth as films like these tend to show 30% plus growth on Saturday. The other advantage is the lack of competition. Deadpool performed well in its first week, but the Hollywood film has dropped on its 2nd Friday. Fitoor is a disaster as business crashed by more than 90% on 2nd Friday. Sanam Re is still running, but the collections are at low levels.
The second best performing release this week, Loveshhuda, was a washout as its first day business was less than Rs 1 crore.
Given the opening the film has taken, Neerja could collect somewhere around 18 crore in its first weekend, which would set it up well for a good first week at the box office.
#IndicineFBO: Not many in the trade were expecting Neerja to collect more than 3 – 3.5 crore on Friday. But we decided to go with a higher figure, simply because of the fact that the word-of-mouth comes into play a lot quicker for such films and the pre-release reports were extraordinary. That’s exactly what happened as evening shows showed huge growth in business. We expected Rs 4.3 crore as the first day collections of Neerja, the film has collected Rs 4.7 crore. The difference is 9%, making it yet another accurate prediction for 2016.

So after seeing Neerja it’s proved that PRDP also could be super hit if our Lallu khan was not in the film. Flop king Salman destroyed his own film with his “superb” acting skill. But stick our #Bhai roxx
Saturday collections will be 6.75 crs.
Sunday – 7.5 crs.
Weekend- 18.15 crs.
First week – 27 crs.
Lifetime – 45 crs.
Happy for sonam kapoor as she is d daughter of anil kapoor,one of my fab actors .
Plz increase the fbo of laden. U r again underestimating the power of sequel like u had done for pkpn2. I m ur loyal user so giving u this advice. Plz increase fbo to 5cr
Such films deserve very good collections!! Way to go #Neerja
On the funny note, tweet by Kejriwal helped it earn more buzz and awareness!!
What say Indicine???
@Sahir 12:57 pm : How come talking about someone’s performance makes me an insecure fan? It’s my opinion and I never forced you to follow the same.
In fact, your comment didn’t prove me an insecure fan but it definitely proved that you are an insane fan of classless non-actor khan.
@Yuvarani 1:01 pm : Why are you burning you idiot. I invested my money in buying the tickets (instead of downloading a pirated version from torrent like you do) and thus I have every right to express my views about the positives and negatives of that movie.
If you have any issue, just dislike my comment and move on. I don’t need lectures on “Appreciating one’s performance” from someone, who followed ad appreciated the same repeated shits produced by a classless non-actor Khan.
@Fasal : Cool, thanks buddy. Now, Will start visiting Indicine more frequently :)
@Indicine, I think Neerja will settle between Superhit or blockbuster. I have seen it today and from my experience it will going for blockbuster status. Hope for the best. What’s your opinion admin team?
now waiting for FAN…A masterpiece is coming on the way
@ arjun- what about kscoolhh3? ali is missing in this movie so indicine is right.
I think it will collect about 6.5 crores
6.5 crs on saturday. 7.5 crore on sunday. Weekend 18.7 crores
@Anand….. Oh yes, his tweet helped Masaan become a blockbuster. Lol.
@yuvraj kkhh3 still got 8cr opening despite c grade starcast & Airlift. And ghayal 7cr despite poor marketing & out of form 90s superstar sunny. So laden surely 5+ with +ve wom helping evening shows 2 jump in plexes
@ xzeony- are you sister of sunny leone. the only thing you know making laugh on others name.
i was shocked to see more than100 percent inaccuracy of indicine in kkpk. u should not have underestimated kapil!
@ xzeone- and i am spending data on indicine so i have every right to bash someome’s useless comment. this is like i liked gadar but i don’t like sunny’s performence so what you liked in that movie amrish puri?
Xzone, I dont agree with you, sonam kapoor delivered mindblowing performance, its the best performance of her carreer. I was surprised how she acted, I always considered her as glamourous doll without acting skills, but she had broken my stereotype towards her. I had become her fan after this movie.
WAITING FOR KA AND KI.
@Neeraj, hence proven that Kejriwal only watches good movies and tweets about them!
His tweet helped Masaan get critical acclaims…!!!! Lol!
