ev may did a very good business, but it was mainly due to its weekend only that generated a major chunk of its lifetime business in first 3 days.
after the weekend, the film that took thunderous start, instead of remaining strong, or even steady or even decent in most circuits... it crashed very very badly that only few films saw that sudden downward trend.

in most circuits it started felling everyday upto 70 to 85% from last day, and even the last weekend business was a mere 3.5 cr for 3 days, and in weekdays the situation is terrible when we talk about sustaining the business.
apart from a medium budgeted hskd there was and is no as such opposition either for ek villain, even then it wont cross 100 cr mark now while previously we heard about the talks of 150 cr + and even some suggested neat 200cr plus business. forget about 100+ crores, this film saw the biggest crashes among all movies released in 2014.

what u think r the reasons for such sudden demise and crash, that is way too huge for a film that was extremely praised, hyped and had an extra ordinary buzz everywhere just a few days ago.

(ps.. i am no hater of sid and shrradha..lol)

no movie to see other than EV. They were even promoting hard after the release. Then came humpty and crash.
EV was never a good film to begin with. Just awesome marketing tactics. If you are good at marketing then you can even sell rock and generate money. Ask the pet rock guy.

Because it's limited market quickly saturated.
It did not crash. It just had too great start than expected.
For a genre which normally makes 50-60 crore max, it did extremely well.

P.S. Don't exaggerate. No one said it would cross 150 or 200 crore. There were only questions about whether it would cross 100 crores and it did.
P.P.S. HSKD is a direct competition to EV coz target audience is same- the youth.

It generated huge buzz and certain sections of the audience were really keen to watch it. That's why it did huge business over the first weekend.
However, it is a dark theme and not a family film, so obviously the target audience was limited.
100 crore or 97 crore (depending on which source you believe) is fantastic considering the genre.

ofcourse its a big success, but as i mentioned mainly due to first few days only.
after that, every bo sourse told its huge crash story in a similar way. i am happy it did good business, but just wanna discuss its huge crash down with each day, that almost all sources penned about it.

And you want a definition of crash- check Humshakals figures. Now that was a solid crash. The business completely halted after 1 week run.

it hasn't generated as good WOM. first week collections because of the promotions & suspense factor.
look at other super hits of 2014. Queen, 2 states. very good WOM. EV, haven't heard anyone praising it so much except sid fans. 😆
