‘Heroine’ Sails Through its 1st Week at the Box Office
Kareena Kapoor in a Still from Heroine Movie
First things first. There is a certain segment of media, industry and surprisingly even ‘aam junta’ amidst which a (wrong) perception has been created that ‘Heroine’ hasn’t done too well at the box office. Fair enough, so when it comes to the entertainment quotient, liking/disliking or general feedback, anyone and everyone has all the right to have a point of view or opinion; nothing wrong with that. However numbers have their own story to tell and if the first week collections of over 37 crores are any indication, Heroine has managed to sail through. Of course it could have covered a greater distance but it is certainly not a downer.
When a film is centred on the very industry of which it is a product, there are bound to be mixed reactions. ‘Heroine’ got that as well. However what was surprising was some sever backlash that it suffered from within the industry. Moreover continued success of Barfi! put further dent in the film’s collections. It was clearly fate coming into play because even UTV, producers of both the films, wouldn’t have imagined that Barfi! would enjoy such an extended run while Heroine, a film belonging to an altogether different genre, would actually get impacted by that.
Having said that, and as stated earlier, since audience too had its own opinion about Heroine, universal acclaim wasn’t expected for the Kareena Kapoor starrer. Still, for a film where she was the one holding centre-stage along with her director Madhur Bhandarkar, Heroine is next only to Vidya Balan’s Kahaani which stays on to be the biggest female centric grosser till date at 60 crores plus. In the final report card that would be out though, Heroine would be around 10-13 crore below Kahaani though if one takes into account the overseas collections as well, former would have a clear edge. Overall, an average affair.

Kareena is undoubtedly no.1.herione mak 37 cr in one week dt is quite good for a movie wt mixed reviews.critics feel insecure wd sum scenes in thd film for expl they delebrately said -ve words for the film.otherwise it iz best film of 2012.kareena star power shines throghout the week.kareena iz best performer.
would have loved to see Aishwarya in those slutty scenes and mouthing those slutty dialogues.
heroine has done magic inspite of mixed reviews.wch shows star power of kareena..bebo is d queen
Herione rocks.despite mixed reviews film managed to show good numbers.kareena performance help the movie to be a success.kareena is best
I don’t blame UTV, I blame the desperation of Kareena and Madhur 2 outdo other and God has really thought them. They where wishing 2 get 100cr, that is why screen print is 2,400. Imagine if it 1,400 print. Power to VIDYA
The figures are not bad, atleast the film is a success. Haters go to hell
