Singh Is Bling Advance Booking Report

Akshay Kumar is ready with his fourth release of the year and the good news is, the advance booking of Singh Is Bling, which opened counters at the box office earlier this week, has received a fantastic response.

The advance falls in the ‘outstanding’ category in circuits like East Punjab and Delhi/UP. Even at multiplexes in these circuits, tickets have been priced higher than normal movies, but the pace of ticket sales is better than all Akshay films that have released this year.

In other Akshay Kumar strongholds like Rajasthan, Central India and even Bihar, the advance booking is good.

In Mumbai, the biggest circuit for film business in India, the advance booking is average. In south circuits like Mysore, Tamilnadu/Kerala, the response has been below average to poor.

Singh Is Bling is on course for a very good opening on Gandhi Jayanti holiday. The film is certain to be the biggest opener for Akshay Kumar, but it remains to be seen if it can surpass the ‘Independence Day’ holiday business of Brothers, which collected Rs 21.43 crore on Day 2.

In the last couple of years, big films like Bang Bang and Besharam have opened very well at the box office. Bang Bang was excellent even though it released with Haider.

For Singh Is Bling, a good opening in North India is pretty much guaranteed, but it remains to be seen how the film opens at multiplexes in Mumbai circuit and the rest of India.

Stay tuned for our final #IndicineFBO prediction of Singh Is Bling, which will be published later today.
