It has been a long time coming but finally there is light at the end of tunnel as Brahmastra is on course to emerge a HIT as it shows a good jump on Saturday. The jump is not huge in terms of percentage but its excellent trending for a film of this size and more importantly where the jumps are coming.
North India and Gujarat / Saurashtra have show excellent jumps on Saturday meaning these circuits which run the distance are now on board for the film. Also across the Hindi belt which could have easily dropped today the film is very steady and even up in some of these circuits. The Hindi verson came in at around 31 crore nett on Friday as a couple of circuit numbers came in lower and the Saturday number is looking to be 37 crore nett. There is a drop in languages but still that side could get around 3.5-4 crore nett in but the story is about the Hindi version now.
Despite the very good opening day there was a concern that it was being driven by the Southern states and though it was due to the partial holidays it is still not ideal for a Hindi film to have South leading but that has all changed on Saturday as core Hindi markets come to the forefront.
A circuit like Gujarat / Saurashtra will jump from around 2.75 crore nett to 3.75 crore nett and there will be more to come tomorrow. This was a key area as it signals other Hindi mass markets are now sure to jump tomorrow with Gujarat likely to be showing biggest jump. There were many B centres in East Punjab which were on the lower side but Saturday has seen that turnaround.
The wait is always for Monday when it can become a certified HIT but the signs are good of acceptance for the film and hopefully Sunday will push it further. the two day collections in Hindi should be around 68 crore nett while all formats will be around 76 crore nett plus.
