Neerja has turned out to be a solid HIT. The film took a good opening, escalated very well over the weekend, and then sustained superbly over the weekdays. The appreciation continued to pour in and audience footfalls were consistent right through the week. As a result, the film brought in 35.32 crore, which is a very good number. In fact it is the second best of the year so far and just like Airlift, what makes the success of this Ram Madhwani directed film even more important is that it has scored well amongst the audience despite its niche and offbeat theme and treatment.
This is how Week One collections of films released so far look:
Airlift – 83.5 crore
Neerja – 35.32 crore
Ghayal Once Again – 33.25 crore
Wazir – 29.95 crore
Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 – 29.65 crore
