Saturday Update: Batla House And Mangal Mission
Sunday 25 August 2019 01.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network
Mangal Mission and Batla House showed big growth on Saturday as Janmashtami holiday continued on Saturday. There were parst of India which had a restricted holiday on Friday and other parts were on holiday on Saturday. Some places saw two consecutive days of holidays like Gujarat.
This has meant solid jumps for both films as Mission Mangal should be in the 12-13 crore nett range while Batla House should collect 5.50-6 crore. The Janmashtami factor and the open week has really benefited both films on Friday and Saturday as collections would be much lower otherwise.
Mission Mangal has recorded huge numbers in Gujarat on its second Friday and Saturday and the figures on Saturday in the state are probably only bettered by around 5 films in history for the second Saturday. They are better than Kabir Singh which had the best second Saturday in Gujarat / Saurashta so far this year and this is a film which is not really for this circuit.
