Rustom Emerges HIT - Mohenjo Daro Also Grows

Saturday 13 August 2016 23.30 IST

Rustom has emerged a HIT film as it has shown solid growth of around 15% on Saturday with collections to be around 16 crore nett which will take its two day total to 30 crore nett the biiger circuits of Mumbai, Delhi / UP and East Punjab have all seen good growth. The film is doing average business in places like Gujarat and CP Berar but average business in these parts is okay for a film like Rustom. Despite the first day being over 1 crore nett less than Housefull 3, the film has caught the business of that film on Saturday and it will have chances to challenge the 21 crore nett of Housefull 3 on Sunday which is the highest ever day in Akshay Kumar's career. Normally this would be tough but its a holiday on Monday so the business on Sunday will not see the evening drop which is normal on Sunday. This will make huge growth possible on Sunday though on the other side will be cap on capacity as less shows at peak times due to the clash.

Mohenjaro will also see growth in the 10-15% region taking its collections to around 9.75 crore nett for a two day total of 18.50 crore nett. The growth will come for Mohenjo Daro as well on Sunday but the problem is low collections. The start makes it tough for such a big film and now it becomes about some respectability which can come by staying in theatres for the next few weeks. Basically the way things are going it will do around half the weekend business of Rustom which is far too big of a gap.

They opted to see that movie over Rustom

I watched Rustom and gave it 2.5/5

Since the people who have recommended Rustom those who I cannot refuse ..I might watch daro soon i.e. in next couple of days. They say that visuals were great and it is a cinematic movie

I am sorry you feel that the movie was a waste of your time. What did you not like in the story and screenplay?

Of course I am no expert in anything cinematic but I thought the story set in the backdrop of a time that we really have very minimal information was actually quite good.

No one knows why such a vibrant place was deserted and the reason shown in the movie is not at all far fetched.

As far as the action is concerned, I wouldn't compare it to Bahubali at all because MD is a prehistorical and the latter is more of a historical fiction with a big dose of unnatural and totally impossible stunts. Case in point the way the main character prances and jumps over steep cliffs and hangs on to trees which would put the most proficient of rock climbers and even Tarzan to shame.

Anyway I digress. I would still be interested in knowing why you thought the story was bad.

Totally agree with the post made by someone which says that this movie has a bigger budget and a bigger negative PR.

Have a lovely Sunday folks!
