Rajkumar Hirani’s PK has witnessed normal drops of around 10-15% for the morning shows on Saturday. Cities like Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Mangalore were down by around 10%, while North Indian was down by around 15-20% due to extreme weather conditions.
The drop in the morning is normal for Saturday and the film should pick up evening onwards. If it does pick up towards the end of Day 2, like most films that carry good reports do, the second day collections of PK should be up by around 10-20%.
The Aamir Khan starrer is arguably the best received big film of 2014. Reports from social media websites like Twitter / Facebook and multiplexes in big cities are extremely positive. Most exhibitors are confident that the film will sustain Monday onwards and end Week 1 on a high, thanks to the Christmas holiday on Thursday.
The trust that the audience have in Aamir Khan and Raju Hirani has also ensured that the corporate block bookings are the best for any film released this year. To celebrate Dhirubhai Ambani’s 82nd birth anniversary, Reliance Industries has spent somewhere around Rs 1.75 – 2 crore on 58,000 tickets of PK for all their employees. The screening for Reliance employees is scheduled for the New Year weekend (Dhirubhai’s birthday is on the 28th of December). Even at smaller centres, companies like Ultratech, Asian Paints and many others are giving away tickets to their dealers and staff.
Overall, PK is set for a long and successful run at the box office. The film is under-performing at smaller centres (exhibitors say, the increased ticket prices is affecting the occupancy), if these centres pick up, PK could challenge Dhoom 3’s record for the highest grosser of all time.
Watched PK? Post your reviews in the comments section below!
i am going watch it tomorrow.
@indicine..at wht time u will publish the actaul first day collection…plzz reply
Raju Hirani proves yet again why he is the best! But still most reports suggest, PK is more or less an Aamir Khan showdown and Hirani isn’t as gripped on it as he was on 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai.
PK is rock steady on Saturday and for Sunday, all the shows are almost full. It’s interesting to see if it can manage to run with the same pace but as of now, PK is looking very strong at box-office. Monday onwards, the real test will start for PK, whether it is going to challenge Dhoom 3 record and before that, whether it is going to cross the 200 Cr barrier.
Please post the 1st day collections of PK . I have not yet watched PK . I think i will watch it tomorrow .
PK review by Nipun :
PK! Undoubtedly the most awaited movie of 2014 has finally arrived. Expectations are HIGH like anything. After all, it has been directed by one of the best directors of India,Raj Kumar Hirani, who has given ever-green movies like Munna Bhai series and 3 idiots to B’town! The Amir-Hirani Jodi is back after 5 years with PK. Does PK live upto the Sky-High expectations? Okay, let’s find out.
The story of the movie is about a strange character PK(Amir Khan) who belongs to another planet. PK comes to Earth for some researches, But unfortunately he looses his machine that helps him to send the signal to his planet. So he starts searching for that machine. Accordingly, He gets familiar with human on earth and meets a girl, Jagat Janani (Anushka Sharma) who helps him. Jagat Janani and PK then try to show the true colour of a fraudulent Hindu Guru(Sourav Shukla) in public and the story proceeds. Sanjay Dutt, Shushant Singh Rajput and Boman Irani are playing the roles of PK’s friend, Jaggu’s Lover and Boss respectively.
Director Hirani always comes with some social messages. Here also PK is probably based on superstition, which mocks the differentiation of God by different groups of people and inter-religion marraiges. The first half is superbly entertaining. It maintains a consistancy over the plot with so much interesting sequences. You will have a genuine fun throughout the first half. The introductory scenes of the characters are praise-worthy too! The picturization of songs like “Bhagwaan Hai Kahaan re tu” and “Chaar Kadam” are impressive too. The flaws lie in the second half. A scene which didn’t click was the one where PK falls in love with Jaggu and a song titled “Love is a waste of time” suddenly begins. I feel that part could have been shot in a better way. Also, the Bomb blast scene in the train makes the over-all plot a bit clumsy. Twists and unpredictable sequences are good when they suit properly with the plot. Instead of Bomb blast, they could have induced any other reason to show why the man(the person who had sold the machine to Tejaswi) couldn’t reach to the TV show. However, what still works in the second half was the war between Tejaswi and PK. Also,The last twist over the love story of Jaggu and Sarfraz impressed me.
The cinematography was really brilliant. There were beautiful locations of India and the outer country(Belgium perhaps!). The song “chaar kadam” was a visual treat! The background score works well. Songs are sounding sweet at big screen. Sonu Nigam’s “Bhagwaan Hai Kahan re tu” sounds incredible.
The other reasons to watch PK are the performances of the actors! Amir Khan’s role was too challanging, yet he has given proper justice to it! He was the heart of this film. Anushka has played her part very well. Shourav Shukla has got an interesting role and He did very good job. Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt have small roles. But, they played their part well. Rajput looked really charming in the movie and even made a good impression.
Over all, PK is undoubtedly Watchable. The first half provides you continous fun and entertainment. 2nd half has flaws and some clumsiness, but they don’t make the film terrible. A few modification over the screenplay as well as editing would have made it better. The best and most interesting parts in the story of the movie are the different troubles experienced by PK when he starts learning about Humans of Earth to get familiar with them.
So finally, PK is ambitious and a brave experiment. It’s not perfect. But it definitely deserves your time. I am going with three and a half stars. Watch it for the good performances, the brilliant locations and the interesting parts you will find in the movie. Undoubtedly it’s one of the “BEST 5 MOVIES OF 2014” if not the “BEST”!
RATING: 3.5/5
Yes i watched yesterday but i will watch again sunday

Pk is a let down I left at interval time, movie is one of the worst movie of all time. It is mostly anti Hindu movie

{ personal opinion }
pk lifetime will be lower than 190 crore. overrated movie for quality peoples.
To all Aamir fans and Indicine (favoring Aamir & PK for some unknown reason)…3 Idiots and Dhoom 3 were not successful because of Aamir ….Aamir was successful because of these films. If at all Aamir was a great superstar (as you think) ..Talaash should have also been a 200+ grosser..
Its not Aditya Roy Kapoor who made Aashiqui 2 a hit….it was Aashiqui 2 which made him a hit
over all It’s OMG2 pravesh rawal is better than Aamir over rated and second half is crap. due to hoiday session otherwise it will srruggle for box office . we will see .
Collections will be less of 1st day coz of non holiday release and they will be real collections and not manipulated
PK is easily the best movie of this year having many funny scenes along with good message towards humanity
I love this film amir khan is class… Everyone is giving review…
If you are watching the film for giving the marks…. You couldn’t enjoy the film…..
First half and climax of PK is outstanding which makes PK a must watch movie
There are lot of funny scenes like fat barber scenes and people in theatre were laughing so loudly that some dialogues was difficult to hear after those funny scenes
They bth again have rckd….. pure genius both hirani ji and aamir…. marvellous…. If u hdnt wtchd ths muvie thn u hvnt wtchd anythng…. marvellous….. Amazing…. and out of my wrds…. pure excellence….
Just watched PK, this movie could fine if OMG hadn’t made. I personally don’t like what I expected. My ra omg for PK – 2/5
pk is a classic.the entire theatre clapped after d movie ended.the last time I experienced such response were during mardaani,2 states and queen
now its interesting to see pk can beat bang bang or not
This is a film which is really needed in todays culture.
SUPERB !!! A class movie and performance of Aamir Khan is A+ Level.
This movie are one of the Best Movie in this Decade (Must count in TOP 3)
Is Film mein kitne aise scene hai to aapke romte khade kar deta hai… Excellent Movie
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (Film of the Year).
So Finally according to Reviews overall, Haider & Queen are best movies as far as Screenplay & Contents are concern. So 1st time SHAHID overshadow all Big name by his Far more Superior Performance of the years. SHAHID will definitely be the Darling of Award ceremonies. Best intense Performance by most under rated or u can say unlucky Star of Bollywood. Finally PAID OFF. Good Luck Shahid for SHANDAR.
