#Neerja has the 2nd highest wknd of 2016 after #Airlift ...HIT already in 3 days !!! CONGRATS @sonamakapoor !!
Not only in India, but strong numbers are coming from Overseas too ... #Neerja is ROCKING globally ! @sonamakapoor
#Neerja goes from strength to strength. Fri 4.70 cr, Sat 7.60 cr, Sun 9.71 cr. Total: 22.01 cr. India biz. FAB! #ContentIsKing
#Neerja is a shining example of a BRILLIANT film backed by well-planned and executed distribution strategy and superb marketing...
With an IMPRESSIVE weekend total on hand, #Neerja is expected to dominate on weekdays too, with metros/plexes contributing HANDSOMELY...
#Neerja is FLYING HIGH. Day-wise growth in biz clearly indicates it has won hearts and conquered the box-office. Sun biz was TERRIFIC...
Caustic reviews often spread but no positive review of mine has gone viral like this. People love #Neerja, write of standing ovations. Bravo
Neerja had a good weekend recording the second highest weekend figures of 2016 after Airlift. The film is in second place but collections are almost half of Airlift. The first weekend business of Neerja is as follows
Friday - 4,50,00,000
Saturday - 7,50,00,000
Sunday - 9,75,00,000
Total - 21,75,00,000
The trend is very strong which has ensured a hit. The film has done very well in the metros while other areas grew on Saturday and Sunday but have probably not goe to the levels on Sunday to suggest strong final numbers in places in Gujarat and UP. The big cities are sure to do excellent business over the next few weeks.
Neerja has done very well in overseas as well as India despite being a non star cast film. The film may just top the $1.5 million mark beating the likes of Fitoor and Wazir which were bigger films. The film has grossed $575,000 in US / Canada which is the second best opening of the year in that market. Airlift had grossed $816,000.
The figures compare well with other films which were similar to this. The likes of NH 10, Queen, Kahaani and Mardaani have much lower figures while Mary Kom was around $1.20 million and $370,000 in US / Canada.
The trend in US / Canada and Gulf will ensure a good hold in Overseas and a healthy final total.
