Haq had a fair weekend at the box office when after an ordinary Friday, it did pick up on Saturday, only to have limited growth on Sunday. With Rs. 10.1 crores coming in, everything depended on how Monday hold would look like since it was paramount to a decent lifetime total coming in. The need of the hour was for the collections to be similar or at least close to Friday which had seen Rs. 2.03 crores been accumulated.
However, the drop was more than expected as Rs. 1.10 crore came in. Even if Rs. 1.50 crore had come in, then that would have ensured that till Thursday the film would have stayed over the Rs. 1 crore mark. However, this drop means that while today the film will still stay over Rs. 1 crore due to Blockbuster Tuesday offer, for tomorrow and day after it could well be touch and go.
The film doesn’t have any competition around it, which means the stage is wide open for it to perform at least at major multiplexes in core urban centres. This is where the film’s target audience lies as well. With 11.11 crores collected so far, the film would cross Rs. 13 crores by the close of first week. However, for 20 crores lifetime to be reached, it would all boil down to how does second Friday hold up. Eventually, it should still reach there but all associated with the film would have expected a lifetime of Rs. 30-40 crores given the pre-release hype and critical acclaim.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
