‘Dangal’ does second highest fifth weekend business ever, while ‘OK Jaanu’ is poor

Another record has been set by Aamir Khan starrer ‘Dangal’ at the box office. The movie has recorded the second highest fifth weekend of all time. The fifth weekend collections are Rs 5.85 crore nett. Only ‘3 Idiots’ has managed to stay ahead in the fifth weekend with a business of Rs 6.25 crore nett. So, ‘Dangal’ comes at the second spot.

The tax exemptions have surely benefited the movie as the numbers are strong in Delhi, UP and East Punjab. The total business of the movie is Rs 368.42 crore nett and the fifth week should close somewhere around Rs 370 crore nett. Although, it’s a tough road for the week as two biggies ‘Raees’ and ‘Kaabil’ are releasing on January 25, 2017.

On the other side, Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer romantic flick ‘OK Jaanu’ that released on January 13, 2017 is not doing a fair business at the box office. The second weekend numbers are around Rs 2.65 crore nett and the total business until now is Rs 19.81 crore nett. With just two more days left, until new releases come in, it looks like the movie will rarely manage any more numbers as the weekdays have started.

‘Dangal’ was a December 23 release whereas ‘OK Jaanu’ is hardly a week old, but ‘Dangal’ is still giving a tough competition to the new entrant.
