Heropanti has thrown a very pleasant surprise at the box office. Even though the film was peaking at just the right time and it was expected that there would be good footfalls at the box office, what unfolded after a good opening Friday was simply stupendous. After a good weekend, the film stayed very stable right through the weekdays too. All of this meant that the collections stood at a very healthy 36 crore.

Now that’s a total that would have made Sajid Nadiadwala and UTV pretty content even if it was for the entire lifetime of the film. However, now the expectations have grown manifold and it won’t be a surprise if the film actually manages to cross the 50 crore mark.

For producer Sajid Nadiadwala, this is a big high indeed as his 2 States has already crossed the 100 crore mark while Highway fetched good critical acclaim while sailing past the safety mark. The film is a hat-trick success for him and now Kick is anyways expected to be the biggest of them all, while also making it four in a row for him.

As for Kochadaiiyaan, it stayed low in the Hindi version though it was a different story to tell in the Tamil version where it collected good numbers right through the week.
