Raees Drops On First Monday ,Kaabil poor

Raees had a drop in collections on Monday as it grossed 6 crore nett to take its total to 98.25 crore nett. The drop is 55% from Friday which is on the higher side and the film really needed to clock up a 7 crore nett plus Monday. It has won the clash with Kaabil as that film is unlikely to reach the five day weekend total of Raees but that is not really the objective for the film. The fact that the film was best in where Shahrukh Khan films outperform rather than where mass films do best was a problem over the five days and on Monday the better circuits came down also as these mass types don't sustain there. The reports in the multiplexes especially North were not there and that told on Monday as the holds in single screens were much better. The weekend ensures its a safe film but that will be about it. The first six day business of Raees is as follows.

Wednesday - 20,25,00,000

Friday - 13,00,00,000

Saturday - 15,50,00,000

Sunday - 17,25,00,000

Monday - 6,00,00,000

TOTAL - 98,25,00,000

The extended first week of the film is set to be around 112-113 crore nett but the Monday drop makes it tough in the second week even though no major releases. The second week will also be close in terms of the clash with Kaabil but the lead is already too big for that film to making any big inroads into it.

Kaabil (Hindi) had a poor Monday as it grossed 4 crore nett and took its six day total to 58 crore nett. The drop from Friday is 45% and better than the normal 50% but that is because collections on Friday itself were poor. Its the same story across the country with Punjab in the North doing just 35 lakhs nett, West Bengal in east doing just 25 lakhs nett and Gujarat in the West collecting only 40 lakhs nett. South India is even worse. The film had a chance on Monday as the collections of Raees also had a drop so this basically the acid test for the film but to be at around 4 crore nett on Monday does not give it a chance to have good final final or cut into the lead of Raees. The six day business of Kaabil (Hindi) is as follows.
