Manikarnika review thread *Final Warning Pg115*(move to next thread) - Page 65

"After the film's director Krish left to begin work on the upcoming NTR biopic, followed by Sonu Sood and actress Swati Semwal's exit, it has been reported that another dark cloud is looming over the film.

According to latest reports, the business head of Zee Studios, Sujay Kutty has been sacked. The reason for this is believed to be because he went ahead with reshoots that inflated the budget by an estimated Rs 30 crore, above the previously agreed Rs 70 crore total budget. The re-shoots were said to be done over a 10-day schedule, but now, the film will have multiple changes along with Ganesh Acharya choreographing a song"

Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi (Hindi) is continuing to hold in the weekdays which is a bit surprising as the general public response is negative towards the film. But eventually the word of mouth will catch up as the collections are low in key areas and what happens normally is other places do catch up and whether its on the second Friday or after only time will tell.

The collections so far are around 53 crore nett so the week will be finish at around 56.5-57 crore nett. So till dade the business of the film is decent boosted by the Republic Day holiday. There is weak competition this week so the film should continue to hold well technically but the reports are going to catch up at some point and a drop will come.

Delhi / UP remains the best market with the UP side being very steady and some centers in the state registering better collections than day one. The collections of Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 17,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 14,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,10,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 53,10,00,000 apprx

BOI finally stopped sugarcoating. Taran Adarsh is still at it lol. Dude is completely acting like this movie doesn't need 120ish crore to break even, going by the distribution cost.
