As was always on the cards, Yodha saw further push in numbers on Sunday and ended up collecting Rs. 7.25 crores. This is good because it has happened with number of films in the recent past that Sunday growth has just not come, and the collections have largely remained stagnant when compared to Saturday. In case of Yodha though, there has been a day on day increase in numbers since release and that at least gives the film a chance to bring in some sort of numbers at the box office.
The Sidharth Malhotra starrer has now reached Rs. 17.51 crores and though a lot more is expected out of it, one now waits to see what happens from Monday onwards. The BOGO offer was announced for the weekend, and one waits to see if this happens during the weekdays as well. Such an offer has a cost to the makers so it cannot really be used as freely as it also has more of a strategic importance. Hence, what’s required is that footfalls continue to come in. The word of mouth is so positive that even with regular plans, Yodha continues to gain traction.
The other release of the week, Bastar, has turned out to be a no-show though. The collections have jumped when compared to Friday but then that itself was so low at Rs. 35 lakhs that even with Rs. 80 lakhs* been collected on Sunday, there is a really long distance that’s yet to be covered. The Adah Sharma starrer would need a miraculous hold from Monday onwards to survive in theatres.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
