Shaandaar Day 2 (Friday) Box Office Collections: Huge crash!

Dharma Productions’ Shaandaar has shown a huge drop in business on its second day at the box office. The film has collected Rs 7.55 crore, which is a 42% drop from Day 1.

The fate of the film has been sealed on Day 2 itself, as the word-of-mouth is mixed to negative and the film has failed to find appreciation among the youth – which was the film’s target audience.

‘Shaandaar’ was expected to perform well at high-end multiplexes, not just because of Dharma – Phantom backing, but also because of director Vikas Bahl (Queen fame) and Shahid-Alia pairing. Unfortunately, the drops at some big city multiplexes was sharp on Day 2 itself.

In comparison, 2 States which also benefitted from a holiday on Day 1, collected Rs 12.28 crore on Friday and Rs 11.89 crore on Saturday. The drop was negligible, but in the case of ‘Shaandaar’ it’s huge.

It remains to be seen where ‘Shaandaar’ goes from here. If the film shows a decent growth on Saturday and Sunday, the film could be heading towards weekend business of around 38-40 crore, but if the trend is poor, the Shahid – Alia starrer could end with weekend business of around 36 crore, which would be a very poor weekend considering the costs of the film.
