Below average start for Bombay Velvet
One of the most awaited releases, Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet releases today, along with Hollywood action flick, Mad Max: Road to Fury.
Despite the expectations from the film, the collections have already taken a beating with a low score of 15 to 20% collections in the opening shows. While the film can look to perform in niche sectors, major multiplexes in Mumbai and Gurgaon are registering low occupancies. The film needs a massive turnaround to register a strong opening day, but judging from the present state, a double-digit day one will be a struggle.
Bombay Velvet faces strong competition from the Hollywood release Mad Max: Road to Fury, which has been performing better at multiplexes as opposed to the Ranbir Kapoor starrer.
Piku, on the other hand, closed its first week on a high. After registering one of the strongest opening weekends this year, the Monday collections only saw a 13% drop and the film collected Rs 4.40 crore. Piku had a steady week with only a slight drop from day to day, going on to collect Rs 4.10 crore on Tuesday, Rs. 4 crore on Wednesday and Rs. 3.70 crore on Thursday.
The first week total for Piku stands at Rs. 41.42 crore domestically. The film needs to achieve a minimum of Rs 55 crore in its lifetime to recover its costs, which seems highly likely.
