Rock On 2 Disaster Not Because Of Demonetization

The disastrous fate of Rock On 2 has nothing to do with the currency demonetizing issues but to do with the film itself. The collections are lower than they would be if if everything is normal but the key for these films which only have chances in metros is the second day growth. It can be said that demonetizing also affects that then it should also affect Dr. Strange which grew a huge 113% on Saturday. This film is aimed at the same markets as Rock On 2 and despite the cash crunch it showed huge growth on Saturday which was a possibility for Rock On 2 also if the film had merits. Despite dull start and other issues it still had a chance to rescue itself by doing what Dr. Strange did but as the film was rejected it could not. Below are the weekend figures for Rock On 2 and Dr. Strange (Second Weekend) with the crucial growth on Saturday highlighted
