Yesterday we saw the release of the Saif Ali Khan – Rani Mukerji starrer Bunty Aur Babli 2. Being a sequel to the previous release in 2005, the film was expected to start on a decent note, with collections hovering around the Rs. 4-5 cr. range. However reports state that the film has underperformed. In fact, Bunty Aur Babli 2 has managed to draw Rs. 2.6 cr. on Day 1.

Surprisingly, despite being a sequel to a much loved film, Bunty Aur Babli 2 suffered from negative reviews and negative word of mouth. In fact, when compared to Bunty Aur Babli that released in 2005, there seem to be hardly any impact of the franchise value on the film’s overall collections. Interestingly, Bunty Aur Babli had managed to collect Rs. 2.68 cr. on Day 1 as compared to Bunty Aur Babli 2 managed to collect under Rs. 2.6 cr. What surprises the most is the fact that Guru Nanak holiday that was expected to help the film’s collections did little when compared to the negative feedback the venture received.

 

With just six days till the release of the John Abraham action film Satyameva Jayate 2, hopes for the business of Bunty Aur Babli 2 look rather bleak. In fact, the Akshay Kumar starrer Sooryavanshi that has now entered its third weekend running is expected to fare better than the new release. Trade predictions claim that Sooryavanshi will not only outperform Bunty Aur Babli 2 over the weekend but will also overshadow the new release’s business on week days as well.
