Oh My God
is not basically an Akshay Kumar starrer film. Akshay Kumar is not in the main
lead while Paresh Rawal is in the main Hero. Though Akshay Kumar plays the part
of God. It is basically a word of mouth film. The main audience for the movie
are family & ladies & the fate of the film depends upon its growth on
Saturday & Sunday.
Gujarat will open well since the movie has a Gujarati flavor
but the business in other parts of the country will have to depend on word of
mouth of the movie. Now lets see what it does over the entire weekend.
Oh My God
opened 30% - 40% at the multiplexes on Friday morning which is below the mark.
The collections are better in few parts of India but major parts of India
remained low. Now everyone is waiting what happens to the evening & night
shows as collection in the morning shows are not good.
The best
opening state was Gujarat due to the film’s local flavor. The film did not open
well in other parts of the country since it is not for masses or youths &
is for family audiences at the multiplexes.
So the main
business of the movie was expected to come from family audiences on Sunday.
Since on Sunday families come in huge numbers in the multiplexes. If a good
jump is noticed on Sunday then the film will surely do good business in the
long run.
Oh My God
did a business of 3.75 to 4 crore nett on its first day which is poor. The
business in Gujarat where the film performed best is average but the collection
elsewhere is very low.
In Delhi/UP
the film collected 75 to 80 lakhs, in Mumbai the film collected 1.50 crore due
to good business in Gujarat. Eastern & southern parts of India is very low
& central India is low with a collection of 55 lakhs approximately. The
film was banned in few places of Punjab that is why the film did not performed
well there.
If the film
grows 25% to 30% on Saturday & Sunday then the film will score well at the
box office.
