With 120 Bahadur getting some good reviews coming its way, one waited to see if word-of-mouth will catch up and the collections will double up on Saturday. That didn’t quite turn out to be the case though as from Rs. 2 crores that were collected on Friday, the film moved to Rs. 3.25 crores on Saturday. Though growth is there, bigger jump was the need of the hour.
The Farhan Akhtar starrer is primarily for the major multiplexes at key urban centres and its doing well in pockets. However, the budget of the film warranted that it does well across board, at least, in all the multiplexes of A centres. This is what had helped Bhaag Milkha Bhaag emerge as a Rs. 100 Crore Club superhit and that film had got some support from B centres as well. However, 120 Bahadur has arrived at a time when it’s increasingly difficult to get audiences to theatres and that’s showing in the collections so far.
Two days’ numbers for the film are Rs. 5.25 crores and had this been the opening day number, then it would have been far better. There is a huge journey ahead for 120 Bahadur and one now waits to see if there is some substantial growth today that could make one look forward to the footfalls during the weekdays.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
