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
East Punjab - 23 lakhs
West Bengal - 7 lakhs
CP Berar - 8 lakhs
CI - 4 lakhs
Rajasthan – 10 lakhs
Nizam – 9 lakhs
Mysore – 23 lakhs
Others – 6 lakhs
Total – 2.19 crore
Now let us see what English
Vinglish did on Saturday. English Vinglish showed a huge jump on Saturday. The
collection nearly of English Vinglish on Saturday is nearly double than that of
Friday. 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.
