My box office predictions for Badhai Ho and Namaste England

Badhaai Ho has had an excellent extended weekend of 44.50 crore nett with Delhi NCR and East Punjab showing extraordinary collections. There was limited growth on Sunday but that was because it was the fourth day and the business is less in the Sunday growth markets like Gujarat, Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI.

The extended weekend business is enough to ensure the film is a HIT and the weekdays will tell how big of a HIT the film can become. The film is going to do huge business in Delhi NCR and East Punjab but a lot depends on what level the appreciation is in other markets as these will have to do well also for a really big number.

The collections of Badhaai Ho till date are as follows.

Thursday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 11,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 44,50,00,000 apprx

Namaste England grossed a little over 6 crore nett over its extended weekend and the weekend number is what it should have done on day one and that is on a worst case scenario. The collections of the film are over 3 crore nett less than Namaste London released 11 years ago.

The collections of Namaste England till date are as follows.

Thursday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 6,10,00,000 apprx
