Box Office: Mohenjo Daro has a very ordinary start

By Joginder Tuteja

Mohenjodaro (3)

Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro has taken a very ordinary start at the Box Office. Even with low expectations, the film seemed like a double digit opener at the least. After all, it had opened at 2500+ screens and Rs. 12-13 crore were the order of the day to get into some kind of an opening zone. This seemed like a possibility too though no one expected to open anything lesser than Rs. 10 crore.

However, it seemed like audiences had made up their mind and that reflected from the opening shows itself which saw very low occupancy. Things improved though by the evening and night shows when certain premium multiplexes started showing 70%-80% occupancy. That buoyed the film with some kind of a number at the least, as a result of which Rs. 8.87 crore came in. Though these numbers aren't impressive by any means either, the challenge now is for the film to show better collections in days to come.

The film needs to see huge jumps today and tomorrow, which seems difficult given two major challenges it is facing - a) word of mouth around the core product that it is and b) competition from Rustom which is going great guns. Even if it doesn't take jumps today, the least it has to do is better its Friday numbers today, and then grow very big tomorrow and on Monday (Independence Day). If that doesn't happen, it would be curtains for the film and that would be very disappointing for it, considering Ashutosh Gowariker has given more than five years of his life into it.
