Both Madgaon Express as well as Swatantrya Veer Savarkar stayed over the Rs. 1 crore mark on Tuesday. This is the fifth day for both the new releases and since they are coming off an extended weekend, there could well have been a bigger drop when compared to Friday. Thankfully, that didn’t happen for either of the two films, what with their Tuesday numbers been quite close to Friday.
Let’s talk about Madgaon Express first. A whacky comedy, it has been doing well in pockets and while it deserves to be garnering much bigger numbers, it’s at least stable. On Friday it had collected Rs. 1.63 crores and now on Tuesday it stands at Rs. 1.46 crores, which is good if one looks from the drop perspective. Also, these numbers further ensure that till tomorrow, the film will stay over the Rs. 1 crore mark and all eyes would be on how does it sustain itself on Friday when Crew arrives. Currently, it stands at Rs. 11.34 crores.
On the other hand, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar has reached Rs. 9.32 crores in five days and will cross Rs. 10 crores mark today. This one has seen an even lesser drop as Friday collections were Rs. 1.07 crores and now Tuesday stands at Rs. 1.10 crores. This is simply negligible and one just hopes that a stable run continues in days to come as well. There are many other films in the running already, notably Shaitaan to a larger extent and Yodha to a little. With Crew arriving this Friday, it would be interesting to see how it maintains its hold in the second week.
