Agneepath: Steep Fall On Day 2, Day 3 Upbeat
- Agneepath Movie Poster
Agneepath, after a stupendous start on Republic Day (January 26), faced a steep fall in collections on Friday (January 27). As against a total net collection of Rs. 23 crore on the first day, the remake of the 1990 film of the same name netted Rs. 12–12.5 crore on day two.
Collections have picked up again today (January 28), which is the third day. It is quite normal for collections to come sliding down after a major holiday like Republic Day. Still, the fall of around 45-48% on the second day sent shock-waves in the industry. Those in the trade, who had not liked the remake, went into overdrive predicting doom for the film. However, a lot of tongues have stopped wagging today as the graph is showing an upward swing.
Maharashtra being the best on Friday, probably because of the Marathi touch and Maharashtrian characters in the film. A clear trend emerging all over India is that single screen audiences seem to be loving the high-on-violence film whereas the reactions of the multiplex audience is divided. The youth is liking the film more than the older generation. Also a section of the womenfolk is not too excited after watching the film, thanks mainly to the excessive violence, blood and gore.
Not withstanding the dip in collections yesterday, the fact remains that the film will fetch huge profits for all concerned because it got a phenomenal start. In fact, its opening day collections were more than those of any other film so far including Bodyguard which had collected Rs. 21.5 crore on the day of its release which happened to be the day of Ramzan Eid last year. Pertinent to note that the second day of Bodyguard was just as strong as the first day because Muslims are known to throng to the cinemas not just on the day of Ramzan Id but also on the following day.

It will collect 60 crore+ on 1st weekend.If weekdays show normal drop then 1st week wiil be 85-90 crore.Lifetime 120-125 crore. If weekdays show huge drop like Ra one & TMK then 1st week will be 75-80 crore.Lifetime 95-100 crore.
Agneepath is a mass oriented film and has less chance of surviving in the multiplexes.These kinds of films rarely succeeds in overseas,Ghajini being an exception.After record breaking opening day the collections are down by 50%.Bodyguard,Ra.One,Don 2 and Singham maintained their collections in first week but Agneepath might not be able to do so.
It’s a bad movie
hrithik ka performance bhi yar thanda he.
i m srk fan….
shahrukh khan is the best…
king khan…
all Sallu fans cannot digest the fact that agneepath will be a blockbuster….SRK and HRITHIK rock…
Lots of Khan’s bashing is going on amongs fans on the net.It is their love for their actor and thats understandable.But everyone should realise that statistics have to be accepted and there is no other choice.Here is the performance analysis of the three Khans in the last 20 years.Shahrukh was ahead in 1992(Deewana),1993(Darr),1995(DDLJ),1997(Dil to pagal hai),1998(KKHH),2000(Mohabbatein),2001(K3G),2002(Devdas),2003(Kal ho na ho),2004(Veer Zaara),2007(Om Shanti Om).Salman was ahead in 1994(HAHK),1999(Hum saath saath hain),2005(No entry),2010(Dabangg),2011(Bodyguard).Aamir was ahead in 1996(Raja Hindustani),2006(Fanaa),2008(Ghajini),2009(3 idiots).Shahrukh is the winner for 11 years,Salman for 5 years and Aamir for 4 years.In overseas Shahrukh was ahead in 1995(DDLJ),1997(DTPH),1998(KKHH),2000(Mohabbatein),2001(K3G),2002(Devdas),2003(KHNH),2004(Veer Zaara),2006(KANK),2007(OSO),2008(RNBDJ),2010(MNIK),2011(Don 2).Salman was ahead in 1994(HAHK),1999(HDDCS).Aamir was ahead in 1996(Raja Hindustani),2009(3 Idiots).Shahrukh has 15 out of 23 blockbusters in overseas and has 9 out of 11 all time blockbusters in overseas.He has maximum awards in the history of bollywood and has numerous international awards.In overseas Shahrukh is winner for 13 years,Salman for 2 years and Aamir for 2 years.As far as Agneepath is concerned it is a good movie and I am hopeful that it will cross 100 crores nett mark.I request Koimoi to display my message.Thank You.
