Bang Bang and Singham Returns took similar starts at the box office, but unlike films that have managed to cross the 200 crore mark, both films failed to sustain over the weekend.
However, Bang Bang has sustained well in its second week, the collections are much better than Singham Returns. The business from all versions of Bang Bang is about 25 crore more than the Rohit Shetty film.
The Hrithik Roshan – Katrina Kaif film is now the 2nd highest grosser of 2014 after Salman Khan’s Kick.
Some points:
- Both films released on a holiday, Singham Returns on Independence Day considered to be one of the best days for business and Bang Bang on Gandhi Jayanti. The Hrithik starrer had plenty of holidays in its first extended weekend.
- Singham Returns got a solo release, while Bang Bang was released with Shahid Kapoor’s Haider.
- Singham Returns has tremendous brand recall value as the first film ‘Singham’ not only did well at the box office but was also a massive hit on television.
- The budget of Singham Returns was much lower than Bang Bang.
