After being at theatres for 9 days, Bell Bottom has gone past the 20 crores mark at the box office. The film collected in the 1 crore+ range on the weekdays but then on its second Friday, it went below that mark to bring in around 0.75 crore*.
Of course, the collections would go up again today, tomorrow and then even Monday (owing to the Janamasthami holiday). That would ensure that the 25 crores mark would most definitely cross before the close of the second week, though it has to be seen that how quickly does that happen eventually.
Most definitely these are not the kind of numbers that producers Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh and Jackky Bhagnani would have hoped for when they decided to bring the film to theatres. There were a lot of odds going against it but still, they took the plunge, which was brave on their part.
