The Good and the Soft
Pinkvilla calls Wednesday’s hold good, with the drop from Monday under 15%. The week-on-week drop has also improved, from 73% to 68%. That’s still steep, but it’s “moving toward stability.”
The softer side: the film looked set for a Rs 100 crore second week. A weaker-than-expected Sunday and another noticeable Monday drop knocked it off that path.
The Rs 400 Crore Puzzle
Here’s the odd fact: eight Bollywood films have crossed Rs 500 crore nett, yet none has finished between Rs 400 crore and Rs 500 crore. Drishyam looked like the film to break that pattern, but it’s now headed for around Rs 375 crore.
Pinkvilla offers two reasons:
- A franchise ceiling: as a continuing-story sequel, its audience has limits. Footfalls should land near Drishyam 2’s 1.50 crore.
- A front-loaded run: a big holiday and hiked ticket prices in week one gave a huge opening. Prices dropped on second-week weekdays, which made the fall look bigger while footfalls stayed relatively stable.
What It Means?
Even at Rs 375 crore, the film is a major hit and a strong finish to the franchise. Want background on the star? Wikipedia’s Ajay Devgn page covers his career. For more box office updates and entertainment news, browse TechnoSports.
