Bang Bang hits the 100 crore mark in 5 days while Haider holds well

With no surprise to any predictions made for Bang Bang’s business, the film has been able to experience a thumping box office run in the first 5 days. With an extended weekend in the offering, the film collected 94.13 crores in the first 4 days and entered the 100 crore club on the fifth day. The film has now become one of the biggest openers of all time stating the star power of Hrithik Roshan.

The long extended weekend helped Bang Bang enjoy a good run at the theatres despite a potential competitor like Haider. Though Bang Bang was always going to be the first choice for a lot of people, the contrast in collections was way high. Looking at the trends, Bang Bang has a good chance to write a solid cinematic figure for itself since the audiences are turning in with large numbers. On the other hand, Shahid Kapoor’s Haider didn’t disappoint either. While the film earned better reviews than Bang Bang on every count, the word of mouth made sure there wasn’t a fall in the collections. The film now holds well at above 30 crores which is good considering the competition and its restricted appeal. The film is expected to hold well since the word of mouth is pretty good.

Even the overseas market had lots of good news to offer. While Bang Bang became one of the highest openers of all time, Haider’s business witnessed a solid jump owing to its reviews. With the kind of business the two films are doing, the cinematic trade has all good reasons to smile. Let’s wait and find out since a lot of biggies are yet to see their fate at the box office.
