Dishoom had a fair first week of around 52.50 crore nett apprx. The film had a decent weekend and did drop on Monday but managed to stabilize on Tuesday though on Wednesday there was a noticeable drop again. The first week collections are the sixth highest of the year and are better than films like Baby and Tamasha from last year which had bigger stars. The best collections for the film are in Mumbai circuit with around 17.50 crore nett, the film should have done better in North but the Punjabi film (Bambukat) made the Punjab collections well below the mark. The Eastern India circuits also did not fare well though Gujarat and Central belts were reasonable. The top first week collections of 2016 are as follows.
1. Sultan - 2,08,99,00,000
2. Housefull 3 - 80,02,00,000

6. Dishoom - 52,50,00,000 apprx
The first week figures for films released in 2016 can be seen here
The film will depend on where the second Friday lands and then can it grow big on Saturday and Sunday. Last week the limited growth on Saturday was the key held it back from putting up a good first week but this Saturday should see big growth. Before Saturday, the Friday number has to be as close to the Thursday number it can. The big plus is weak competition which has meant it has held on to 6-7 screenings per day in the main multiplexes.
