Not weird at all. It really shows the contrast!

Mahabir, who was a total stranger and on top of that her kidnapper, protected her. And not only that, he shunned his own man from the group for the wrongdoing.

Whereas, Veera's culprit, a distant relative (no unknown) was around her all this time. And her own mother tells her to keep it shut so they can "protect her izzat" ie. not let anyone know she had been abused.

I think that was one point where Mahabir's character started to elevate in the audience's eye.

Yeh jeena bhi

Na jeena bhi

Hai dono ka tum se hi vaasta

Main hi to hun tera pata

Hai doosra na koi rasta

Aye mujh tak wo tum woh tumko jo ho dhoondta

Meri khamoshiyon main bhi hai tu bolta

Ye jeena bhi

Na jeena bhi

Jo bhi hua hai woh tumse hua

I'm so hungover the Highway fever...the past two days, I've been suffering from the after effects *sigh* 😒

I even like The Mashup song...that I hated when the album released!

We have this thread as a sticky till Friday, na? Or, atleast Thursday night?

Highway Tuesday Business

The first five day business of Highway is as follows.

Friday - 3,25,00,000

Saturday - 4,50,00,000

Sunday - 5,50,00,000

Monday - 2,25,00,000

Tuesday - 2,00,00,000

TOTAL - 17,50,00,000

The film is holding up pretty well on the weekdays with low collections but it really needed a good second week to pull through but with Shaadi Ke Side Effects is likely to take away its audience in week two. A 30 crore lifetime total is looking out of reach.

Overseas - Hasee Toh Phasee V Highway

The overseas business of Highway was slightly less than Hasee Toh Phasee as the former did not perform as well as the later in The Gulf. The gap in The Gulf is a fairly large $150,000 and this market is now the most importanr for overseas business..

The business in US/Canada was very similar for both films while Highway fared well for the type of film of content that it has in UK as UK is market which prefers the commercial entertainers.. A 100k plus opening weekend total in UK is a good result for the film as the total is 40% more than Hasee Toh Phasee.

Below is the overseas comparison for the first weekend between Hasee Toh Phasee and Highway.

Overseas - Hasee Toh Phasee V Highway
Territory	Hasee Toh Phasee	Highway
United Kingdom	76,023	106,581
US/Canada	$336,985	$326,654
Gulf	$370,000	$220,000
Australia	Aus $58,842	Aus $40,39
Rest Of The World	$120,000	$120,000
TOTAL	$1,000,000	$880,000

Highway is doing pretty well at the BO now! It has picked up from Monday and is holding steady. In fact, NDTV reported that its business was up by 42% during weekdays as compared to weekends (that rarely happens, unless the WOM is extremely strong)

This film might not be a BB, but it will surely recover money and make profit too!

Kruti, I think the budget is less than 20 Crores all inclusive. It cannot be an expensive film...there is no star-cast as such, all the supporting characters are newbies and the film is shot only (and beautifully) in North India. The film has already recovered its cost by now and is holding pretty steady at the BO!

Even everyone I know who saw Highway loved it! I just don't get why the critics were so harsh on the film?😕
