Business Done by Alone on 1st Day | Alone First Day Collection

Alone film is releasing on about 2500 screeen worlwide. Moreover, production budget of Alone is estimated about Rs. 35 Crore (approx.) However, this Horror mystery film is Directed by Bhushan Patel (1920:Evil Returns & Ragini MMS 2). Although, the songs of the film are much attractive as Awaara Awaara' and Katra Katra' can be seen as Top of Chartbusters. Also, Advance booking of Alone reported that the First Day Income of Alone can be good. Also, Alone Occupancy is reported about 50-60% on theaters.

This week, there are four Hindi releases - Bhushan Patel's Alone featuring Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover; Shankar's I, which released in Hindi featuring Vikram and Amy Jackson; Ritesh Menon's Crazy Cukkad Family featuring Swanand Kirkire and Shilpa Shukla; and Gurmmeet Singh's Sharafat Gayi Tel Lenefeaturing Zayed Khan and Ranvijay Singh.

Of this clutch of releases, only one of them - Alone - has hit the bull's eye and opened with 50 per cent occupancy all over India. In many circuits, the film has been running house full. Alone has been doing extraordinary business in single-screens. Whereas I opened with 10 per cent all over India, started with their second show for want of audience. Distributors feel Alone will clock magical numbers at the box office. Over to them:

Rajesh Thadani, Multimedia Combines, Mumbai

It appears that movie-goers have turned their attention back to the silver screen and, as a result, Aloneopened with 50 per cent all over India and in Mumbai too. The movie has stirred more interest at single-screens than multiplexes. Shankar's I has not yet hit the right chord as it opened with only 10 per cent but the film could grow by evening. Crazy Kukkad Family and Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene opened with 5 per cent each. Many shows were cancelled due to lack of occupancy.

Brijesh Tandon, HK Tandon and Company, Delhi-UP

Bipasha Basu's Alone opened with 40 per cent in Delhi and UP and the numbers climbed to 50 per cent from the second show. The film will see housefull shows by evening. The South film I didn't take a great opening in our circuit and the rest of the films opened at 5 per cent. Only Alone will work this week.

Jaspal Dhingra, Nanaskar Enterprises, East Punjab

It's very cold in Punjab but in spite of that, Alone opened with 40 per cent in multiplexes and 60 per cent in single-screen cinemas. Alone was a very well-promoted film with great music and a fantastic trailer. As a result, the film took a good opening and is expected to grow. Unfortunately, last week's Tevar is a complete washout. I didn't take a good opening, at 5 per cent. The rest of the films opened with 3 to 4 per cent.

Debashish Dey, Aum Moviez, West Bengal

Alone opened with 40 per cent at single-screens and 30 per cent in multiplexes, which is very good for a Bipasha Basu and debutant Karan Singh Grover film. It's definitely better than Tevar! Vikram starrer Iopened with 15 per cent, which is a decent opening for a South-dubbed film but the content is very good.

Sarang Chandak, Shri Rang Films, CP

Alone opened with 25 per cent in multiplexes and 30 per cent in single-screens. Collections grew from the second show onwards, and occupancy climbed to 60 per cent. This film will definitely enjoy a good weekend, especially at multiplexes. I didn't take a very great opening, as expected. It is also a very long film. The other films had their shows cancelled as no one turned up to watch them.

Jeetu Khandelwal, Pioneer Films, Orissa

It seems like we will have a hit film in Alone, which opened at 70 per cent in single-screens and whose first show was housefull at multiplexes. So, without a doubt, Alone will be a superhit. Vikram's I opened with 30 per cent, which is very good for a South film dubbed in Hindi. The only drawback is that this film is too lengthy.

Ravi Machhar, Sahyog Films, Nizam

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover's Alone took a 70-per cent opening, which is huge for such a star cast. The film is doing stronger business in single-screens than at multiplexes. It's a film for the youth and a very complicated genre but it seems like it will do great business. I didn't turn out as expected. Also, last week's release Tevar didn't do good business at all. Crazy Cukkad Family and Sharafat Gayi Tel Lenereleased in a very limited number of screens with limited shows.
