Great Grand Masti struggled on the account of a pirated version of the film being leaked a couple of weeks back. The film grossed around 8.25 crore nett in its first weekend. The collections are so bad that the lifetime business of the film is not going to be much higher than the first day of Grand Masti released three years back.
The film was also affected by Sultan which was always going to be number one choice over the weekend. Its hard to put a number on a film when these sort of things happen but if the film was not leaked and released on the date its was initially scheduled to release on then a 25 crore nett weekend was probably fair value for the film. This is going by that films like Wazir and Neerja were around 20 crore nett mark and Ki & Ka and Kapoor & Sons were a little under 25 crore nett. Great Grand Masti would have opened higher than these films but maybe not had the growth. The daily weekend collections of Great Grand Masti are as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 2,50,00,000
Sunday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,25,00,000 apprx
Its still very unlikely that the film would have matched its predecessor even if the film was not leaked but it would have done much better than it has.Now Great Grand Masti will loose very heavily as the recovery was really dependent on India theatrical being a Sex Comedy but with such poor results its recovery will hardly be anything. This will probably end this genre for sometime and if films are made of the genre they will be only low budget ones.
