Those asking... #October starring @Varun_dvn is heading to be a recovery if keeps the momentum. Those who already announced this a Flop or disaster are some great human beings ,they have never done anything in their life but do feel entertainment by degrading others. Thanks

Varun Dhawan's 'October' yet again proves that Content is the King!

By Bollywood Team | Thursday, April 19, 2018 | 5:56:37 PM IST

One film which people have not stopped talking about since its release is 'October'. Whether it's Varun Dhawan's stellar performance or Shoojit Sircar's unusual take on today's 'idea of love'.

While the film did open to a warm response on Friday, what is interesting to see is that it's been steadily growing since then.

After a good weekend, all eyes were on how it performs on weekdays and the fact is there is just no stopping for this gem at the Box office. It's held very strongly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the trends suggest it will only grow stronger with the word of mouth.

Films like October prove that even now - Content is the true king!

The film has decided to never take a dip. It has been holding the box office strong even in the mid week.

The film has earned 2.43 Cr on Wednesday stating that the word of mouth of the film is keeping the momentum up!

With the way the film is going it promises to have a good second weekend too!

October Box Office Collection so far:

Friday 5.04

Saturday 7.47

Sunday 7.74

Monday 2.70

Tuesday 2.61

Wednesday 2.43

Total: 27.99

Box Office: October Set To Cross 40 Crore Lifetime, Aims For Hichki Lifetime Of 45 Crore

Nonetheless, what helped the film was fair and stable collections right through the weekdays.

Joginder Tuteja

April 20, 2018

Box Office: October had a passable first week as 30 crore* came in. Ideally, 35 crorewould have been decent as that would have set the stage for the Shoojit Sircar directed film to aim for the 50 crore mark. For that, the need of the hour was to have the opening weekend cross 25 crore. However, since that didn't happen, it diminished the film's chances to go for a reasonable haul.Box Office: October Set To Cross 40 Crore Lifetime, Aims For Hichki Lifetime Of 45 Crore

Nonetheless, what helped the film was fair and stable collections right through the weekdays. As a result of that, at least the 30 crore mark was crossed which is fine since anything could have happened after the opening weekend just about managed to cross the 20 crore mark.

A lot would now depend on how do collections hold up today. If the film stays on to be over the 1.75 crore mark today, it would result in 10 crore more come in during the second week which would help it cross the 40 crore mark. From there, it could then at least aim for crossing the Hichki lifetime total of 45 crore. That should be the new aim for the Varun Dhawan starrer because even though it is more offbeat than the Rani Mukherji film, it is still a bigger film due to star presence.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

Ok finally watched October, I'd be very honest about my choices, be it cinema, shows or social media, anything related to virtual world is a medium of escape for me from the reality, hence I tend to avoid watching Realistic films in theatres, but I could'nt be more glad about the fact that I experienced this film in theatre.❤️

October is not a movie, it is a tapestry of feelings woven together, intrinsically. It hardly says anything, but once you immerse yourself into this ocean of feels you understand so much & leave the theatre with a feeling you never knew existed it makes you rediscover it, its a kind of film where i can bet ppl will catch on the the underlying meaning of many subtle moments in every viewing. But even if u miss out on these one thing that stays with you is, Dan.

The basic plot is wafer thin, a lot is left on audience to interpret, so I'd try & just do that, coz there are things about the film I really need to get off my chest & mind😆

*****May contain spoilers*****

The film is not a love story but story about Love, a love so pure, natural & selfless that the ppl surrounding them (DAn & Shiuli) take their bittersweet time to understand it or atleast finally respect it.

Its just poetically beautiful how Shiuli's last coherent sentence in her fully conscious state was, "Where is Dan??" and the kind of effect it had on him, so much that eventually he was the only one who understood why she was becoming violent later on

Basing this totally on what they showed & not filling in the gaps myself, but how fascinating it was that the last word she spoke was Daa...a..n..❤️ co-incidentally the last alphabet she wrote was "D" and scribbled away the notepad (incredible detailing) & the last person who saw/imagine or bid her soul was Dan (The door- missed calls scene before he comes to her funeral was absolutely haunting) it makes you ask that is it possible to love someone so purely that you start connecting with them on a spiritual level...Dan is the answer.

Like I said its all on how you interpret it, but Dan is such a briliantlly written character and just as effortlessly played by Varun, the arc he travels is simply compelling, Dan comes across as the guy who doesnt give a damn about consequences, he doesnt make any effort to please ppl infact annoys them😆, he just doesnt care what ppl will say or think about him but ironically he is one of the most caring characters on celluloid or you will rarely come across someone like him,

my most favourite scene was his interactions with the nurse the one who kicked him out in the 1st meeting, to sharing the plight of nurses with smiling fondly at his casual "Main toh kar sakta hoon nurse se shadi" how he says par Gift lekar aana (whatever was that weirdo doing swinging on wheelchair?😆)

There are just so many scenes I cant stop myself from talking and thinking about❤️ be it the, eyebrow threading bit, receptionist scene, laundry mein aggresive scene😆 ventilator scene, Dan lashing out at customer, him being asked to leave the house by his friends, damn... Dan just lingers in ur head.

***** Spoilers over*****

The cinematography, camera work, rain shots, park shots, hotel-PG-Hospital shots or the way Kullu has been captured its just enchanting makes u feel like you are in the film with those characters, such natural performances by this all debutant support cast just have to mention the uncanny resemblance Banita & Gitanjali have features wise😆❤️ Background score was mesmerizing glad there weren't any songs in the film to disturb the ambience. Kudos to Juhi & Shoojit for this masterpiece, and lastly about Varun who delivers one of the most natural performances I have seen by an Actor in ages, he has worn Dan like a second skin, and makes you root for him right from the 1st shot of him trampling towels,

Its an out n out character driven Art-house cinema, yes it demands a lot of concentration & some patience, but once u submit urself the effect is lasting,

I'll give 4.5 Stars, not everyone's cup of Herbal Tea😆 but a MUST WATCH!!!!!

October Leads - Beyond The Cloulds And Nanu Ki Jaanu Very Dull

October continued to lead at the box office though there was a drop in collections though they should improve in the evening and it should still be the top film this weekend. The competition will not come from the new releases but from the holdover from last week Rampage.

The new releases Beyond The Clouds and Nanu Ki Jaanu opened to very dull response of 0-5%. Nanu Ki Jaanu should get better collections as it has a wider release but the collections will be bad no doubt. Beyond The Clouds is very niche and hardly holds any appeal.

The opening comparison of the opening show collections of Beyond The Clouds and Nanu Ki Jaanu are as follows. All the figures below are like for like.
