Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office: Has an excellent growth on Saturday, enters Rs. 100 Crore Club

Sitaare Zameen Par is showing the kind of trending which is frankly, quite unique to itself. No film in the last with a double digit opening has seen 80%+ growth on Saturday and then 150%+ growth on Sunday when compared to Friday. However, it did that last weekend. However, even though the saying is that lightening doesn’t strike twice at the same place, it’s happening indeed for Sitaare Zameen Par. Reason being that the trending is pretty much repeating in the second weekend as well. While Friday collections were Rs. 6.67 crores, yet again the film has seen huge growth on Saturday as Rs. 12.55 crores have come in. Though the growth is 60%+ this time around, even that’s quite huge as the numbers are still on the higher side. For a niche film like this, the collections are solid now and go on to indicate that it will keep running in theatres for a while now. In fact, even if 30%-40% growth over Saturday will come in today then not only will the film go past the Rs. 15 crores mark but a...

Maa Box Office: Kajol starrer supernatural drama grows on Saturday

After taking a start of Rs. 4.93 crores on Friday, Maa saw some growth on Saturday which has further firmed up its standing at the box office. Since the film had collected on the higher end of the predicted range, one wondered if Saturday will indeed see more than 20%-25% growth. Moreover, there was 2+1 tickets offer on Friday whereas none of that was there on Saturday, which means everything had to be organic at the box office. The film still managed to collect well and, in fact, saw higher than expected growth as Rs. 6.26 crores came in. This is a healthy number and while today it will certainly cross Rs. 7 crores, if it somehow manages to come close to Rs. 8 crores mark, then that would put it in a healthy position. A number like that will ensure that Monday collections would be Rs. 3 crores+ which would be good to take it through. So far, the film has netted Rs. 11.91 crores and a weekend close to Rs. 20 crores is there for the taking. This means a lifetime of Rs. 40 crores+ is n...
