Sarkar 3 & Meri Pyaari Bindu Are Theatrical Flops - 1st Week Box Office Collections
May 19, 2017Sarkar 3 and Meri Pyaari Bindu have turned out to be ultra disappointments, and how. Let's talk about the former first. The film has done just 9.50 crore* in its first week and that is lesser than even The Ghazi Attack [11.85 crore], which tells the tale. In fact, its lifetime total would be only a tad better than Noor [7.75 crore] and that is hardly saying much.
As a matter of fact there is no comparison with its Part I and II. While Sarkar had lifetime collections of 26 crore and that too way back in 2005, Sarkar Raj had netted 35 crore in 2008. Even if one doesn't count for inflation and ticket prices, Sarkar 3 would have the lifetime collections less than 50% of Sarkar and just around 30% of Sarkar Raj.

This is much lesser than even the first weekend of OK Jaanu [13.8 crore] and that itself was pretty poor.
Trending:
The lowest grossing film ever of Yash Raj Films in the current decade is Pyaar Impossible [6 crore] and thankfully Meri Pyaari Bindu is a little better than that. Still, that doesn't make the verdict of Meri Pyaari Bindu any different since theatrically, this too is a big flop.

Both new releases of the week, Meri Pyaari Binduand Sarkar 3, are on a rapid decline. If their weekend was low, Monday didn't see any respite and now Tuesday has turned out to be a formality. Meri Pyaari Bindu collected Rs. 0.65 crore* more on Tuesday and that has brought its collections to the Rs. 8 crore mark. The film will just about go past the Rs. 10 crore mark in the final run. In the hindsight, the film could well have been released straight on online streaming media. Perhaps in that forum the word of mouth could have helped it better since such films and genres can be given a much more convenient dekko at the comfort of home. Sarkar 3 has now formally brought a close to the Sarkar chapter in the filmography of Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma. The film raked in only Rs. 0.75 crore on its fifth day and the overall number stands at Rs. 8.50 crore*. This film too would just about go past the Rs. 10 crore mark and that by no means is even remotely close to what one would have expected from the dramatic series. All in all, a one week run for the two more films which just couldn't withstand the Baahubali 2[Hindi] wave. *Estimates. Final numbers awaited
