Aashiqui 2 Beats Himmatwala, Matru; SAW Enters Koimoi Top 10 – 2013 Movie List

This week began pleasantly for the makers of Aashiqui 2 and Shootout At Wadala, due to which there have been excessive changes in the Koimoi Top 10 2013 Movie List. Vishesh Films’ Aashiqui 2, that was previously at number 7 position after amassing a weekly total of 38.50 crores, post its 2nd weekend has built up to total of 46 crores declaring the film a Super Hit. With that, the film has outranked Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala (45 crores), Vishal Bharadwaj’s Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola (42 crores) and Dance Maverick Prabhudeva’s ABCD (45.5 crores).

Kanan Iyer’s tale of witches – Ek Thi Daayan – which tried to give Bollywood a taste of our folk lore based paranormal stories, did not appeal to the tastes of audiences. With a lifetime earnings of 26 crores, the film is already evicted from the Koimoi Top 10 Movie List of 2013.

Balaji Motion Pictures’ Shootout At Wadala which began with a brilliant occupancy at most money spinning circuits has assembled a great beginning amount of 30.80 crores by the closure of its first weekend. SAW now stands at No. 10 position, replacing Ek Thi Daayan.

Looking at the pace of the film’s business, SAW will easily surpass Jolly LLB (32 Crores), and Chashme Baddoor (40 Crores). The film elevated to good records within a very short span of time and is maintaining stable escalating performance at the box office so far. It’s pick up is astonishingly good and it won’t be a surprise if the film goes on to join the 100 crore club post earning its lifetime collections.

The trick here will be to notice whether the film manages to trump Race 2‘s lifetime collections as well. Race 2 which has maintained its Number 1 position of the year since January has finally managed to face some real tough competition at the box office.
