Sachin - A Billion Dreams Scores Well In First Weekend

Sachin - A Billion Dreams did well in its first weekend grossing around 24 crore nett in its Hindi format. The film also released in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and English and these between them will be around 3.75-4 crore nett with Tamil, telugu and Marathi all going over 1 crore nett each..

Its a big weekend for such a film and has basically done its business over the weekend. There is a very limited audience for documentaries in India and this film has probably consumed most of this audience in its first weekend. This may be of Sachin Tendulkar who is a big icon but eventually there is only a certain amount of people who will watch a film in this narrative so it will be huge surprise if this film keeps on going like this.The weekend is the sixth highest of the year and just 6.50 crore nett less than a big feature film like Kaabil. The first weekend business of Sachin - A Billion Dreams (Hindi) is as follows.

Friday - 7,18,00,000

Saturday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 23,94,00,000

Pirate Of The Caribbean - Salazar's Revenge had a decent weekend but the trend was not really there with limited growth on Saturday and Sunday also refusing to grow much. The two day business of Pirates Of The Carribean - Salazars Revenge is as follows

Friday - 4,25,00,000

Saturday - 4,75,00,000

Sunday - 5,00,00,000

TOTAL - 14,00,00,000

#SachinABillionDreams has a WONDERFUL opening weekend... Generally, docu-dramas have dim prospects at BO, but this one is an exception...
