Heroine has good first day but fails to show growth on Saturday

Heroine collected a good 7 Cr nett on Friday as per as early estimates. The collection is pretty good. Heroine  has a female lead & there is no male lead in the film. So if we go by that then a female lead oriented film does very weak business in India. But Heroine has overcome that & has come out with flying colours.

But still collections are not upto the mark because the movie had a very wider release. The film performed very well in mass centers & it has beaten the collection of Barfi there. But in Multiplexes the collections were lower than Barfi by 20-25%. In premium multiplexes the collections are much lower than Barfi.

The audince report for the film is not encouraging but still it will show some growth on both Saturday & Sunday. Barfi has affected the business of Heroine in mutiplexes since Barfi has been hugely applauded by the multiplex audience.

Barfi is very strong in multiplexes on its 8th day as it collected 3.25 Cr nett as per early estimates. It dropped 60% from day 1 which is very good. The normal drop is 70% as does by big films so the drop for Barfi is pretty low. The total collection of Barfi as of now is 61 Cr nett approximately including its 8th day.

The major contribution of the film came from areas like Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab, West Bengal & Mysore. But the mass centers under performed.

Heroine is also a multiplex oriented film & it has been promoted very well but despite the release of Heroine Barfi remained rock steady especially in the multiplexes. Both Saturday & Sunday will witness a very good jump for Barfi & the second weekend will end up with very good numbers.

Heroine collected better in multiplexes with 55% occupancy while single screens were much lower wth 35-40% occupancy. With mixed word of mouth its remain to be seen how well it does over the rest of the weekend.

Hrithik Roshan to do the hindi remake of Knight & Day

Remakes have now become very popular in Bollywood. Everybody is very eager to do remake of successful films. And all the remakes are becoming smash Hits. This has now become the success mantra of Bollywood.

In 2008 Aamir Khan started this trend by making Ghajini which was a remake of a south film & than Salman Khan followed the tradition with Wanted.

All the A lister actors have started doing action remakes to enter into the 100 crore club. After doing some emotional movies like Guzaarish & Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Hrithik Roshan has also stepped into action. He started off with Agneepath which became very successful & he entered into the 100 crore club. Then he is shooting right now for Krrish 3 where he plays a Superhero. And now he has decided to play the role of Tom Cruise in the remake of Knight & Day. This movie became huge hit in the year 2010.

This remake will be directed by Siddharth Anand & will be produced by Fox Star Studios. Hrithik will start shooting for this movie after he completes shooting for Krrish 3.

But soon it will be finalised & an official announcement will be made. Since the co-star has to play the role of Cameron Diaz this is a very tough choice.

James Mangold's Knight & Day is a action-comedy & romantic film & was shot on a very large scale across different parts of the globe. The producers will take the same strategy for the remake also. The film is about a spy who is on the run.
