Poor first week for ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ and ‘Sarkar 3’, whereas ‘Baahubali 2’ has good third week

It has been a really bad week for the last week’s releases, ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ and ‘Sarkar 3’. Starting with YRF’s ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ which has Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles, the movie’s business has been very poor. The movie managed to rake in Rs 9.25 crore nett in the first week which is very less. It started off on a poor note and the first Sunday could also not do much to save the fate of the movie. It’s going to be even bad in the second week as it has very limited amount of shows and may do a lifetime business of around Rs 10 crore nett.

The movie faced competition from Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar 3’ which starred Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role and also had to face the storm of ‘Baahubali 2’. RGV’s ‘Sarkar 3’ may have got almost double the number of screens, but it was disaster at the box office. The movie did a business of Rs 9.25 crore nett in the first week and it had started off on a very low note. Plus, critics too bashed the movie severely and sadly Big B’s star power could not save it.

Now talking about the powerful ‘Baahubali 2’, it has done a fabulous business even in it’s third week as the Hindi genre did a business of Rs 67.25 crore nett and it has become the highest third week collection ever. It has surpassed the business of ‘Dangal’ (Rs 44.02 crore nett) and the total business of the movie is around Rs 456 crore nett in just three weeks.
