Padmaavat BO & Review Thread - ALL DISCUSSIONS HERE ONLY - Page 58

Padmaavat is heading for a huge second day where the film could go towards the 30 crore nett mark. The 25 crore nett mark will be crossed for sure on Friday. The film has the huge national holiday growth on top things are a bit calmer in places like UP and Haryana and more places are playing the film in the former.

Bangalore will have a full day today whereas yesterday it was limited so on the collections till afternoon 50% growth is certain and this could go to 60-70% which would take it near 30 crore nett. There will still be around 23-25% of the market missing on day two but that is better than the 30-32% missing on day one.

There is still a long way for the film to go due to the huge costs and it not being able to optimum business due to the bans and protests but its very much possible that the film would have notched up around 50 crore in two days plus the paid previews and with Saturday and Sunday to come.

These are good numbers and very good if we allow for the fact that the film is not playing in some states. The real value of the 50 crore is probably around 65 crore.

Am super glad that this film finally made it to the theatres and I got the opportunity to watch it but at the same time it's disappointing how the film depicted the practice of Jauhar with such inane glorification. Towards the end, I was like WHAT-IN-THE-WORLD was that whole Jhauhar scene and the voiceover after that supposed to mean 😳 That the audience should break into a huge a round of applause that the Rajput women (amongst them also was a lil girl) chose to throw themselves into fire when actually they could very well have tried to escape from the palace/sought refuge through a secret passage or something, in short they could have tried to save themselves in any which way instead of choosing such a brutal way to die 😳

Padmaavat had strong First Day at Box Office. Though it collects just above 18 Cr net range but it shouldn't be seen in that way. Padmaavat was a quarter fledge release. With most of the mass circuits were unable to screen the movie. There were some Trade and Websites which is predicting 26-27 Cr net range if Full Fledge release would have happened. This is completely rubbish. Padmaavat was not released in most of the Mass Centres and the hype was maximum there only. It lost almost 10-12 cr from this region itself. In fact hype is so huge that it could have opened anything, no limit was there in those places. Alos, the places which have opened it opens with fear, such as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad or even West Bengal too. This places already have excellent numbers it could have add further more or to say loss of 3-5 cr at least. Overall Padmaavat lost 10-15 Cr at least as we said we don't know what would have been the outcome if those protest area was not shut down or no fear situation because hype and buzz was maximum in those places rather than Mumbai, Kolkata or Hyderabad.

Not that I did not find anything worth appreciating about the film but the ending was simply bizzare and rediculous to say the least. It had me out of my wits.

I loved Deepika and Aditi the most in the film. Both of them have looked so gorgeous and emoted so wonderfully through their beautiful expressive eyes. Despite of the limitations of their respective roles both stood out.

I know it is unbelievable and incomprehensible from where we stand today, but I believe these unfortunate things DID happen in those times...They used to jump in fire so that the soldiers wont even be able to touch their dead bodies otherwise even their dead bodies used to be raped and dishonored, I believe!

But I hope SLB explained all this in the voiceover instead of making it look like the women died because they didn't want to live with their men being dead in the war! 😕

We are watching it today...Prepared for all the goriness and supposed tragic ending but hoping the constant bhajan of Rajputi valor wont annoy the heck out of us...😆 *fingers crossed*
