So October doesnt even have the songs that were released before? Not even in the background? 😕

I thought it does have 2-3 songs at least.

Like Piku had lovely background songs composed by Anupam Roy.

Im bewildered at Shoojit, why take talented music directors like Shantanu Moitra and Anupam Roy and then not utilize them properly? 😕

At least Lootera had beautiful songs, still memorable and a well known heroine who outperformed Ranveer in my opinion. And even good, well- known actors in side roles.

A songless tragic film with subtle love story has no chance to succeed.

Once, Every actor gets fever of doing something different to impress Anupama, Rajasen n Rajeev type critics to get 4-5*! Ranveer did it with #Lootera, Hrithik did it with #Guzarish, Salman did it with #Kyonki, Ajay did it with #MainAisaHiHun n now Varun has done it with #October

@KRKBoxOffice

Today, All the exhibitors are asking only one question that why ppl are not coming to theatres to watch #October when all fake critics have given 4-5* n all the bollywood ppl have declared it a master piece. Reply is only this- Public doesn't believe fake critics n Bollywood ppl.

October Shows Excellent Growth On Saturday

Sunday 14 April 2018 12.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

October has shown excellent growth on Saturday of around 55-60% with collections set to be around 7 crore nett. It will take the two day business to a total of 11.50 crore nett apprx. The growth was a huge 65-70% in metros though smaller cities are less which is expected due to the content of the film..

The Saturday trend is very solid for the film with growth being like many of these urban films like Piku, Neerja, Pink, Hichki etc. Last week Blackmail could only grow 30% despite having a lower starting point than October which made it tough for the film. The growth od October keeps the film in with a chance. A Secret Superstar grew 85% on day two but that was a huge national holiday (the biggest day for box office collections) and Aamir Khan factor who has an equity with the audience as far as content goes. So October with around 60% compares well with that also.

The Sunday growth will be more limited as these metros which have shown huge jumps tend to drop or be flat on Sunday and the help from other centres will be less but day two has put the film in a decent position if it can hold on the weekdays.

Just read this. This is normal for a multiplex-targeted film. Tamasha grew 30% on Saturday, going from 10 crore nett on Friday to 13 on Saturday. Of course, the film then fell on the weekdays, as WOM was tilting more towards the negative side. I'm expecting the same case here!

The word of mouth isn't negative as you predicted...it has already grossed 12cr...how will it now stop at 20cr lifetime

Many multiplex films fall on it 2nd day

When did I say the film will stop at 20 crores? I predicted 45 crores before release, and then after seeing the opening day collection and negative WOM, I said that the film will probably finish with lifetime collection in the range of 25-30 crores.

I also just gave example of rejected Tamasha showing 30% growth on Saturday. That film managed the growth after a 10 crore opening, whereas the opening of this film was half of that, so there was more potential for growth (October).

Trailer did not gave me much promise, and seems like it really had a slow start. Plus dark movies hardly work to work in India.

Plus this movie is the most untypical of Varun, even more than Badlapur.

I don't think it will work now(although I wish it does as I am sick of Varun/Alia witch-hunt in this forum).

As you said growth needs to be extraordinary but this type of movies don't really have big growth because of lack of four important aspects which make movies hit: relatable emotional touch, comedy, attractive music and action. A movie with peculiar emotional issues always fail to connect with masses.

As for critics review, I have stopped trusting them ever since bang average fares like Fan and ADHM were raved as cinematic masterpieces.

Anyways going to watch today, and let's see whether it is really a great movie as critics have said it another FAN/ADHM.

Also lol at people questioning Varun's stardom because of October.

It is like putting Messi/Cristiano in West Bromwich, and than bashing them for not scoring 50goals a season.😆

Well close enough...

The film is now sure to cross 35 crore nett and probably in midweek and even if it remains in the theatres for another week or two it will go to the 40 crore nett mark and possibly even higher. This Saturday growth has really given the film a second lease of life as the although the second Friday did not fall the collections were a little on the lower side.
