English Vinglish showed good jump over the weekend

On Friday English Vinglish opened to a poor response all across India. In multiplexes the collections were 15 – 20 % in the morning shows. English Vinglish opened to a much lesser collection in single screens than multiplexes. As a result the first day collection will come out to be very poor until & unless the film shows huge turn around in the evening & night shows.

English Vinglish is not a film for the youth, it is basically a family oriented film that is why it is bound to open low. So this film has a very good chance to pick up in the evening & night shows.

Now the first day numbers are out. The collection of English Vinglish is very low approximately 2.25 crore nett. Some multiplexes showed good collection in the evening shows & the reports of the film are very good among the multiplex audience but it remains to be seen how much the film jumps over the next two days.

The most important day of the movie is Saturday. And the film must show a huge jump on Saturday. If normal films shows a 25 – 30 % jump on Saturday then it is good but English Vinglish has a different picture. The collection of the film on Friday itself is very low so it should witness a much higher jump to stay in the long run. It should show a bigger jump than last week release Oh My God, Again Oh My God had a holiday on Tuesday but English Vinglish has no holidays.

The 2.25 crore nett figures is only for the Hindi version of the film, the film is also released in Tamil & Telegu. Now let us go through the territorial breakdown of the film on Friday.

Mumbai - 81 lakhs

Delhi/UP - 48 lakhs

Rajasthan – 10 lakhs

It is the biggest jump for a film on Saturday in recent years. The collection of the film on Saturday is approximately 4.50 crore nett & the two days total stands for 6.75 crore nett.

This much growth of the film on its second day gives a chance to the film to score high in its long. The total collection of the film that is 6.75 crore nett is still a low collection.
