Madhuri's 2nd release of 2014 fails at the BO

Madhuri Dixit's second release of 2014 fails at the box office

Comeback films of arguably Bollywood's most successful actress of her time, have failed to set the cash registers ringing at the box office. Aaja Nachle, Dedh Ishqiya and now Gulaab Gang have all failed to recover costs through theatrical business.

The reason could well be because of the choice of films that Madhuri has opted for. None of her films were expected to do well commercially, although Dedh Ishqiya remains her biggest success as far as critical acclaim is concerned.

Madhuri's second release of 2014, Gulaab Gang, opened poorly last Friday, showed decent growth on Saturday and Sunday but failed to sustain Monday onwards.

Gulaab Gang will collect 12 crore in its first week and finish with lifetime business of around 17 crore. The distributor's share will be in the 8-9 crore range.

In comparison, Madhuri's Aaja Nachle collected 14.27 crore in 2007 and Dedh Ishqiya collected Rs 28.1 crore earlier this year.

Below we have the day-wise business of the film

• Friday - 2.18 cr
• Saturday - 3.05 cr
• Sunday - 3.5 cr
• Monday - 1.1 cr
• Tuesday - 0.9 cr
• Total - 10.73 cr

Verdict - Flop

goodbye Madz!

see you after another 7 years now! it was a nice short trip- visit India soon again. Have a safe flight to US! :)

She can continue hosting JDJ😆 Her time as a lead actress is over .3 flops in a row

Did she really think she had a career? She was never known for her acting. Its not even about her age, she doesn't have any kind of talent or skills to do something substantial.

Look at Sridevi, 15 year hiatus. Came back and delivered a strong acting performance in a highly critically acclaimed movie. Look at Kajol, who has been coming and going after being married, and has been appreciated in every single movie.

Madhuri has nothing to offer. Nobody cares about her "thumka" and nobody is interested in anything else.

At least Juhi has delivered strong performances as an older actress, and not to mention as per reviews she ate up Madhuri in GG and acted circles around her.

BREAKING NEWS: Madhuri Dixit has announced her 4th comeback film titled "Nache Joker Gali Gali",the film will be made at a budget of 1 crore 😛

She doesn't need to have a career as a lead actress to have a career, emphasis on lead. Julia Roberts still has a career, just that she is doing small films that actually showcase her talent more than the BO hits.

dedh ishqiqa deserved a better fate. after queen the best movie that came out this year.

Madhuri is talented enough to have a parallel cinema career. Not every film needs to be a BO hit, not every actor needs to be a lead actor. We need a strong parallel cinema, good female roles, not flower pot ones. Who better than Madhuri and Juhi to spear head this

In terms of parallel cinema with strong female roles -I don't know about that. If actresses like Tabu and Urmila can be out of work because of the lack of female projects, then Madhuri/Juhi SHOULD be unemployed.

Maybe she got the message now that nobody is interested in her She can disappear now

Great, Denver is missing a Cardio -thoracic surgeon who is busy attending filmy parties in Mumbai.
