Shoojit Sircar’s Piku has shown phenomenal growth in business at the box office on Saturday. The film has collected Rs 8.7 crore on Day 2, which is the highest percentage of growth from Friday, in a long time!
‘Piku’ was a well-marketed film, but the very fact that it did not open that well and still managed to collect Rs 8.7 crore on Saturday, shows the power of word-of-mouth.
The film is now set to collect around 24 crore in its first weekend and the first week business could cross the 40 crore mark.
Friday – 5.32 crore
Saturday – 8.7 crore
Total – 14.02 crore

Best actors of bollywood amitabh ji and Irfan and best actress of bollywood Deepika what any one would want more to see it
After a long time indian audiences appreciate a good movie. Its really a grt news for true movie lovers . Piku is a perfect film and a perfect family entertainer. Go piku go! Superb collection
piku should become a deserving blockbuster but akki fans blamed poor promotions,no music heroine off beat content for baby underperformance
look at gabbar it has earned less thanbaby.hahaha
@indicine your prediction went wrong. yesterday you said piku collected 5.5 crore which was the same amount you predicted. but today you are saying 6.32 crore. so correct this mistake in your box office prediction table.
@Don, the official figure is 5.32 crore. Corrected.

Boring and derivative: A mere vehicle to Deepika’s stardom . PIKU FAILS badly and how!!
The premise is correct but it applies to all old people. Old Bengali Uncles aren’t only the ones obsessed with their bowel movements, anyway, but to use it as a driving point to engine the whole film is nothing short of absurdity. This film, like Finding Fanny, is meant to install Deepika Padukone as the next IN thing from India to Hollywood.
The same modus operandi is also applied to the much uglier and older Priyanka Chopra. While Finding Fanny was as enjoyable as a Chemotherapy session, Piku pretends to be a light-hearted semi-comedy trying to sort out issues like love, obsession and ultimately loneliness. Deepika gets an author backed role as a Bengali girl living with her aged and cantankerous and bitching father, Bhaskor: over-hammed by Amitabh Bachchan. There is something grossly reptilian about Amitabh Bachchan, the so-called repartee between him and absolutely untalented Deepika actually drags the film to a level of utter boredom. Piku should have been played by an actress of enormous depth in her art. Deepika, unfortunately, barely skims the surface. Her casual dalliance with Jishu in front of father is unbelievable. This possibility may be alive in the limited and derivative imagination of the script-writers, but even boys wouldn’t call their girlfriends for a sexual escapade in front of their parents. Another unbelievable plotline is added to the already confused blabbering of the father-daughter duo: Irffan drops in without any coherence to the script. They decide to make a road journey from Delhi to Kolkata. Who in the right mind will dare to make such a journey through badlands of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar? Another fail. An illogical proposition to stretch the flimsy fantastical script to its limits. It will be unfair to reveal more. But boredom sets in very early as you watch this infantile, school-drama level film.
Performances:
Bhaskor becomes a caricature of a Bengali man. He wears glasses that magnifies his eyes making him look like cartoons from sundry Comedy shows on Sunday TV. A joker. Deepika is simply unable to be honest with her character, however flawed it is. Plot holes, the size of Volcanoes, plague the film. The usually dependable is unable to showcase his craft. This film is a vehicle for Deepika Padukone. Her Advertisers and friends in the industry will make sure that totally corrupt film critics will praise the film sky high. Two penny Bengali critics are already going gaga over the film. Due to compromised critiques I expect the movie to make 5 to 6 crore opening.
I gave it ZERO out 5.
Monumental mouse!!
Deepika did not do cleavage publicity like fanny,, but this time around she directly showed her cleavage to Trade sites,BOI, and critics to uplift crap like piku.
According to Boxoffice India 2015, there are 3 types of superstars:-
1. Aamir/srk/salman
2. Hrithik/Ranbir
3. Ajay/Akshay

Excellent collections.. Will surely watch this after my exams..
successful films this yr
badlapur-hit
nh10-hit
dlkh-hit
piku-superhit/blockbuster
waiting for Bombay velvet
Phenomenol is the word to describe this. 65% growth is too good without any holiday. 22-23 cr weekend is sure and 35 cr first week confirm as per trade figures, good days are finally back.
First Gabbar decent collection.
Piku outstanding reviews and growth at BO, sureshot success.
Bombay velwet should open well, rest depend on content.
Last Tanu weds manu the movie which I will watch in theatre this month.
Haters are pointing out on PK the movie, but it was a out of the world movie. Proof Is that this is only movie on Indicine in last 2 years which wasn’t thrashed by megha aunty, otherwise each and every movie rejected by her.
She is also chanting non sense for Piku too.
God save us.
There is no artificial actor sarook with deepika this time so there will b phenomenal growth instead of drastic fall
Showing good growth and trending like queen, dum laga ke haisha but it has competition from bombay velvet. Budget of 40cr+ will make it hard to be a clean hit.
Deepu rocks. She is best actress in Bollywood today. Kangana, vidya may be good in heroine centric movie but failed in commercial. While kat and Kareena good in commertial only But Deeps excel both. Best actress after sridevi, kajol. Madhuri was too good commertial heroine like kat Kareena.
@Sambuddha: Wake me up when Piku will become a “Blockbuster” and as for BABY,these kind of films don’t find family n female audiences at all..
Gabbar’s trade fig. is much more than baby.
I am about to die …..
Still they do not have announced the release date of ” fan ” can’t wait any more.
Piku should have collected 27 crore on its 2nd day becoz it is deepika movie …. !!!!
Afterall it is sallu fans logic lolss…. !!!
@indicine: In that boxoffice top 5 column you have Gabbar’s collections as 77.58crs but till saturday it has collected 66.86crs!! So where did that come from,lol
@sambuddha: I know your taste in films and going by that i can certainly say that you enjoyed Gabbar but you won’t admit that coz you had bashed n mocked Gabbar too much before its release calling it crap n all…But it’s OK,i know u liked it!!
My Ratings to the films i have watched this year:
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy: 8/10
BABY: 7.5/10
Gabbar is Back: 7/10
Badlapur: 6/10
NH10: 6/10
Tevar: 4/10
@kshitiz i didnt lie gabbar and my taste us definitely better than urs
anyways i think gabbar will get a hit verdict
@kshitiz no i didnt like gabbar but i correctly predicted its lifetike and verdict(90cr and hit)
Flop heroine
new director
b grade type movie
dog based story
sandwiched between two biggies
still entertainment collect 75 crore.
Even boi said that if gabbar ralised in replblic day weekend it should collect around 120 crore easly,that means if it relise festival season ot would collect around 150 crore with new director and bad songs.still some questioned akshays stardom.
Haters,he is the superstar of all seasons.
some people already started saying this film is super hit lolz come on people, Piku still has a long way to go before it can be declared a box office hit and I don’t think it gonna be a big hit. it might be semi hit.
btw @Amit Singh, bravo mate, I really enjoyed your review.
@don@sambuddha….
why to come on indicine if u keep talking about BOI TOI n koimoi..
indicine gt great prediction…great format n conformed news only…. thry dnt post rumers or hypes… so keep ur mouth shut if ur nt happy here.
