Besharam Is One Of The Biggest Disappointments Of Recent Times

Friday 11th October 2013 11.30 IST

The collections of Besharam have crashed further on its second Friday with its all India figures likely to come in below 75 lakhs nett. The way the collections are going the film will struggle to collect even 5 crore nett in its second week.

The film has emerged one of the biggest disappointments of the year of recent times, not in terms of losses as there are other films which have lost more but in terms of what it was expected to do.

If we take this year for example, the other major disappointments are Himmatwala, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobara and Satyagraha but none of these films were expected to put up the numbers that Besharam was expected to do. With a national holiday start even a worst case scenario was 100 crore for Besharam before release but it shows that when content is totally rejected what can happen and how fast collections can come down.

Of course they are not. They are so careful with their predictions usually. It was the first time they claimed a movie would outdo 3 Idiots business (without even looking at the first look, amazingly enough!).

To look at it in perspective,lunchbox released on 350 screens and made 1 crore the friday Besharam released.

Exhibitors and distributors are upset with the 3600 hundred screens not earning any money.

This week ,Besharam has a free run at the boxoffice😲... in empty theaters! With so many big films struggling to get a proper release and a few having to be shifted to next year,trade is obviously up in arms..

Besharam Has 2.75 Crore Nett Second Weekend

Monday 14th October 2013 10.00 IST

Besharam grossed 2.75 crore nett approx in its second weekend takings its total 54.25 crore nett. The film has seen the sort of crash that is rare for big films with the film falling 90%.

The 60 crore nett looks a huge distance away and the film will finish at around 56 crore nett with a distributor share of 30 crore approx.

These totals have come with a big national holiday on day one and if that had not been there the collections of the film would have been even less. The loss on the film will be around 20 crore with recovery from all revenue sources to be around 65 crore on a 85 crore investment.
