Akshay Kumar’s latest release ‘Singh Is Bling’ has opened very well at the box office on Friday. The morning shows in North India took the second best opening of 2015. The occupancy was way ahead of every other release this year, except Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
The advance booking was good in circuits like Delhi/UP, East Punjab, Bihar, Rajasthan, Central India.. and these are the centres that opening very well on Friday morning.
‘Class’ circuits like Mysore and West Bengal recorded poor occupancy in the morning, which was expected since most Akshay Kumar films have received a lukewarm response in these circuits.
The other south circuits were affected by Vijay’s Puli, which has received poor reviews, but continues to remain the first choice on Day 2. Apart from Puli, Singh Is Bling also had to share screens with Kapil Sharma’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, which has done exceedingly well in its first week and hence retained more shows than expected. The other release of the week, Talvar, is carrying incredible reports too.
Like most Akshay Kumar films, both the mainstream media (which includes critics) and social media have been unfairly negative. Baby was probably the only exception, but a entertainer like ‘Singh Is Bling’ was never expected to achieve critical acclaim. The response from the audience varies from mixed to positive, is what exhibitors say.
7PM Evening update: Singh Is Bling is looking at opening day business in the 17-18 crore range. Mumbai circuit has picked up after a slow start in the morning. There are also reports that single-screen business in the North has shown slight drops after a strong opening in the morning. The film will be competing with the big T20 cricket match between India and South Africa, which is scheduled to take place at 7PM today. The impact of the cricket match could very well decide if the Day 1 total goes higher or falls lower.
Stay tuned to Indicine for updates!
Even Ranbir Kapoor got 21 cr opening, that too, two years ago. if it didn’t open anywhere near 25 cr, akki’s superstardom is gone baby.
It will cross 95 crores this tym.
Very entertaining movie. Will be blockbuster for sure
Another holiday wasted by Joker Boy..!
Exhibitors must form an alliance n ban this bandar from releasing his craps on holidays…!
Don’t forget the target market of this movie …
20 cr is huge number for such a movie
Even 18 is big …
Too big
4 craps in 1 yr inc 2 holiday releases n end result is he couldnt match 1 release of Salman or Aamir over the previous 12 months…! What a joke this joker boy- bankrupting exhibitors / distributors / producers with each new release…!
Kapils KKPK is first choice this wknd again then The Martian…!
Nice
25 crore approx 1st day
Great entertainment yaar..
movie alredy flop ho gaya … innational holiday only 16crs shit…shame akasay kumar …plz stop such a shit movie other wise you also next chanki pandey…….movie flop ho gaya just waiting dungle
@indicine stop doing chamchagiri of joker boy. Akshay’s movies are crap and he is the biggest shameless joker who doesn’t know anything except greed. Media is fairly and rightfully negative towards him for the obvious reasons.
Disappointed, it should gave 25k opening
Just watched it…first half was awesome…second half was bad…actualy very bad…akshay amy Lara done well….bt prabhu disappointed again…sorry akki fans Bt this is not gna work…bttr luck next time..
This is singh has no bling. Sorry too say that but that is the truth.
SIB +Dilwale Worldwide collection will be equal to Domestic collection of PRDP
Haters Keep Burning
3 million views in 24 hrs
you heard it here first folks, I’m a being told right now that some bhuddha in Bengal known to all the people fed up of him as ArjunKapoorFan thinks that the whole of Bengal will not watch a movie which he has not liked, and only watch films he liked such as the packed-house running Tevar, Dawaat-e-Ishq and Kil/Dil.. This is Indicine ka Chand Nawab reporting from Comments Section.
Depite the clashes. And KKPK still running the movie will still do 20cr. Without those clashes it will have done 27cr. But still not bad lifetime 140cr inshallah
good luck for akshay.
i think the movie can cross 100 cr
Kya movie hai Meine toh Thursday hi dekh Li Thi at Doha Qatar (middle east) me kya response Tha public ka sabi show houseful the fantastic movie ever..
I honestly feel stardom of akki in north is comparable to Salman khan of today and Sunny deol of 90s..
This is his 4th film of the year without anyother big name yet film opened to bumper response..
Hats of to akki..
Coming back to other circuits yes his stardom is fading due too various factors..
Although i earnestly believe if he does one movie a year that too a family entertainer not mindless he can achieve 30 cr opening on a holiday..
Love from an Aamir and HR fan..
Akki is best bollibood hero good movie
What ever will be 1st day collection. From today it will be completly washout. It is just crap nonsescial movie. Yesterday our group of friends also didn’t like expect 2 my friends who r akshya fan. All ghanta awards, golden kela awards , golden rosberry awards etc will be for singh is bling this year . Akshya will surely wins all worst actor awards for raftar singh this year.
Well done @indicine you guys gave us an accurate figure! Tomorrow is the real test. Today being holiday. Am happy cos Akki fans will easily be talking about holiday movies of Akki because it’s his highest. Personally nothing special but good time past. Some retards are talking about lesser screen counts what about TWMreturns? and bhaag Mikhail bhaag? Pls stop childish excuse esp @chechi. But happy for him cos it’s his highest. So record wise and knowing opening day depends on star power barring movies like talaash drishyam where the same actors in other genres(more audience friendly) gave as high as double of Sib if sib collection is 16 or 17. So we like it or not the truth is I actually thought Akki would join the 2nd generation celebrities who gave from 20-30 opening day which includes Rk and Hritik. He failed. Still 3rd generation superstar with 15-20 opening like Sid Ranveer category. I ddnt say it it’s just there on the record books of box office pulling machinist!! Really I thought he would fall in class b category with RK and Hritik. Based on akshay name alone and an above average rewiew and wom. No doubt he is still a huge star in the country so my wish is let airlift and rustom try and shoot akshsay barring 2nd generation box office machinists to 1st generation box office already proven Machinists!! with 30 crs-40crs + openin day cos he actually suppose to fall in this category comprising of Shah Aamir Salman and Ajay.
Best of luck khiladhi. It hurts seeing your contemporaries commanding that category while despite your hard work you are still way behind them.
@Ultron agreed. It’s really insult to our nation’s freedom fighter and legend Mahatma Gandhi whose birthday anniverseries are ruined by such disgusting crap movies like Besharsm, Bing bing, joker is gobar, etc.
How many chances this guy gets? He is the most protected superstar in terms of sites like indicine finding and finding excuses for him!
Still behind Ranbir Hritik Ajay SRK Aamir Salman. Hard to digest but till he proves it he will always be in doubt and an actor not to fully put your golden eggs in the basket before they are hatched.
This movie is scene to scene 97% copy of Korean movie “My Wife is a Gangster part 3”. Last fight concept he copied from Telugu movie Maghadheera 100 men fight (Rajamouli movie). 100% copy movie. Not sure if the producers bought the remake rights from Korean movie. He got his name by remaking 2 telugu Blockbusters in Hindi (Pokiri as Wanted and Vikramarkudu (Rajamouli movie) as Roudy Rathord).
@Navin If u think that films like Baby,GIB and Brothers is crap then bro stop living…Baby is one of the best Action thriller have all time…
And what about craps like ETT,Jai Ho,Kick and there’s much more craps were done by Salman Khan…
But at least he did a good movie like BB…But still for me Dhrisyam is the best movie of this year so far…So don’t use hate speech…SIB, it’s a better entertainer than Khan’s crap…Don’t comment about any movie without watching it…I watched this movie and I’ve to say “Full Paisa Vassol Movie”…
And to all the haters go get a life…Don’t comment about anything without knowing about that…The shittiest fault of Indians…
Very dissapointed i expected a 20cr+ opening i mean Besharam (crap film) even got 20cr+ oprening and Akki still can’t achieve a 20cr + opening
I watched Talvar yesterday i dare say Irrfan Khan deservs an award for best perfomance.
I will watch it again
