Vikram Vedha First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 2 - Vikram Vedha which collected decently on the first two days did see some growth on the third day of its box office run though the growth is very negligible considering the film had such low collections on the first two days. ## The early estimate collections are set to be around 14.50 crores net box office collections which is again a low number for a huge action film like Vikram Vedha that too on Sunday. The limited growth pretty much tells about the appreciation of the film by the paying audience.## West Bengal continues to do his business as a standalone circuit but the northern belts and Mumbai proved to be a disaster for Vikram Vedha despite being frontloaded action films which these circuits prefer.## The first Sunday collections will take the entire box office collections to over the 37 crores mark and the minimum expectations from Vikram Vedha in the first weekend was 50cr so the film already has a shortfall of 13crs which will affect the lifetime business of the film. The Monday hold becomes very important for films that did not have a good weekend and if Vikram Vedha holds well on Monday then it can still reach 75cr lifetime though that looks very tough.## Stay tuned...

Vikram Vedha First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 1 - Vikram Vedha which had a below-average first day of 10.58 crores net box office collections has shown growth on the second day though the growth is not at the level which was expected from the film. The film has shown around 15% to 20% growth only when there was an expectation to hit 40-50%.## The growth also looks less due to very low opening day collections, especially for a film which is a mass entertainer starring a major star like Hrithik Roshan. The early estimate collections suggest 12.50-13 crores net.## Vikram Vedha has failed to attract even a decent audience in any circuit or center except for West Bengal where Hrithik Roshan has a better standing as a star. The entire North is silent for Vikram Vedha which is a surprise for a big action film with a popular star cast.## The first two days' collections will take the entire box office collections to over the 23cr net mark which is a low number. The film will get growth on Sunday and single-screen audiences might come in big numbers due to the holiday but since the appreciation of the film is not much, The growth could be limited. The first weekend collections are set to be between 38-40cr and it should hit 40cr to make a decent first-weekend number.## Stay tuned...

Vikram Vedha Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, September 30 - The big box office release of the day "Vikram Vedha" starring Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan in title roles has been released in theaters. Vikram Vedha has been released on over 4000 screens in India and close to 2000 screens overseas, making it one of the biggest releases ever in terms of size for the Hindi film industry.## There was huge anticipation for this film in core Hindi belts due to being an action genre film with Hrithik Roshan who excels in this genre like very few stars. If we go by the records then Hrithik Roshan is probably the 2nd biggest star in the action genre after Salman Khan but the action in Vikram Vedha is different from the likes of War, Bang Bang, and Dhoom as they catered to a universal audience and had the backing of huge production value, great music, excellent publicity, and big production house. Here, Vikram Vedha is devoid of such things.## The morning occupancy suggested that the film will be a nonstarter but it grew in the evening and if the pace continues in the night shows then it will be a positive result for the film due to its upward trajectory. The early estimate collections suggest 11.50 crores net but as said if night shows outperform then even a 12 crores opening could be achieved. ## Hrithik Roshan's last film War took a record-breaking start and the expectations from this film were more as he was coming after almost 3 years at the box office. If we compare the good old days then Hrithik Roshan's Kites had collected similar numbers on the first day in 2010 and that was on nonholiday too.## There are no centers that recorded big audiences but if you compare standalone then West Bengal has done good business on the first day probably due to festivities and Hrithik Roshan. Surprisingly Delhi/UP has done better than Mumbai despite the content catering more to the Mumbai audience due to being a dark action thriller film. The film needs to show big growth on Saturday and eventually have its best day on Sunday to record a healthy first-weekend collection.## Stay tuned...
