Box Office Report: ‘Guzaarish’ get better performance not best!

Box Office Report: ‘Guzaarish’ get better performance not best!: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s arthouse yet commercial film Guzaarish has found many takers in the metros where the movie is doing well. But as the movie lacks mainstream masala that masses seek, its box office collections are lackluster in the rest of India.

With a poor start on its first day, the film with positive reviews from the critics could not really do better on Saturday and Sunday. However, in metros like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bangalore the audiences are appreciating the film.

The weekend collection of Guzaarish was mere Rs 14.95 crore approx. The coming days of the week will decide the film’s fate. The movie is also facing competition from Harry Porter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Harry Porter’s collection was also not bad; it collected approx Rs 8 crore from its first weekend.

Other releases of the week Deewangi Ne Hadh Kar Di and Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu were extremely poor at the BO. Both the movies will go unnoticed.

Coming to the overseas collection of Golmaal 3. The comedy flick is expected to finish its business with approx collection of $3.2 million. However, in India, Golmaal 3 had another huge week of Rs 29 crore approx which took its two-week total to around Rs 91 crore; it may hit Rs 100 crore mark in the coming days. The movie has been declared a Blockbuster.

Action Replayy, on the other hand, is a flop; the movie couldn’t improve its performance in the second week.

Box Office Report: 'Guzaarish' unexpected slow opening!

Box Office Report: 'Guzaarish' unexpected slow opening!: In the festive season when madcap comedies are all the rage, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dark and broody film Guzaarish wasn’t expected to get a great opening anyway.

The film, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, had an average, or even below average opening at many multiplexes in major cities. But as the rave reviews began to come in from critics, and the positive word of mouth from the viewers began to spread around, the film picked up in the evening shows.

Multiplexes in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune saw greater footfalls in the evening. The collection is likely to go up further on Saturday and Sunday.

Given the fact that the film has no major competition at box office except from Golmaal 3 which released two weeks back, Guzaarish is expected to do a decent business in its first week.

We will provide you the box office collections of the film soon. Keep watching this space.
