Judwaa2 Challenging to be BIGGEST of 2017-BOI

Judwaa 2 will be challenging to become the biggest grosser of the year for the Hindi film industry. The film has held strongly on Tuesday which was going to be the first test as its the first working day. The collections on Tuesday look like they are heading towards the 7 crore nett range which is excellent. The collections on Friday were 16 crore nett so the Tuesday collections look less compared to that but Friday was boosted by holidays in some areas. On top the film is coming of a holiday period and still to be hitting 7 crore nett on a non holiday Tuesday just confirms that the audeince has accepted the film. The first week is likely to hit 95 crore nett which would make it the fourth best first week after Bahubali - The Conclusion, Tubelight and Raees.

The box office has been a downer most of the year but now it will be an interesting next two weeks as Judwaa 2 chases the figure of Raees (128.77 crore) and Toilet Ek Prem Katha which is just about to finish its run with a little over 132 crore nett. If we take out Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion then Toilet Ek Prem Katha is the biggest film of 2017 but its going to have competition from Judwaa 2 and by Diwali it could be that this Varun Dhawan starrer beats the Shahrukh Khan starrer Raees and the Akshay Kumar starrer Toilet Ek Prem Katha. The second Friday is now the next test for Judwaa 2.
