Bollywood box-office report of the week (July 30)
By Box Office Editor
COMING FRIDAY
The coming Friday will see an almost open week with the Mallika Sherawat and Ranvir Shorey starrer UGLY AUR PAGLI being the solo Hindi release, as MUKHBIIR has once again been postponed. It translates into an advantageous position for UGLY AUR PAGLI and another earning week for the oldies like KISMAT KONNECTION and JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA.
LAST WEEK
Both the releases of last week, MISSION ISTAANBUL and MONEY HAI TOH HONEY HAI, failed to impress. While the Vivek, Zayed and Shreya starrer MISSION ISTAANBUL had a poor opening in Bombay, it was weak to ordinary everywhere, MONEY HAI TOH HONEY HAI featuring Govinda, Manoj, Upen and Hansika had a dull start in Bombay and was dull to ordinary elsewhere. Both the films are likely to go unnoticed at the ticket window.
KISMAT KONNECTION
After a great weekend, KISMAT KONNECTION dropped from Monday. At many places, the fall in collections was huge. During the week, the Aziz Mirza directed film collected 3.50 crores from Bombay, 1.05 crores from Ahmedabad, 1.50 lakhs from Anand, 1.70 lakhs from Palanpur, 1.20 lakhs from Deesa, 9.60 lakhs from Rajkot, 2.60 lakhs from Patan, 4.35 lakhs from Himmatnagar, 4 lakhs each from Jamnagar and Bhavnagar, 2.75 lakhs from Gandhidham, 1.55 lakhs from Adipur, 2.10 lakhs from Sangli, 3.70 lakhs from Solapur, 21 lakhs from Pune, 10 lakhs from Nasik, 1.55 crores from Delhi city, 30 lakhs from Noida, 16.50 lakhs from Ghaziabad, 8.50 lakhs from Kanpur, 20 lakhs from Lucknow, 4.25 lakhs from Agra, 2 lakhs from Allahabad, 3.70 lakhs from Meerut, 1.15 lakhs from Moradabad, 1.80 lakhs from Bareilly, 2.35 lakhs from Aligarh, 2.75 lakhs from Gorakhpur, 37.50 lakhs from Gurgaon, 16.50 lakhs from Faridabad, 3 lakhs from Panipat, 70 lakhs from Calcutta, 3.30 lakhs from Guwahati, 26 lakhs from Nagpur, 2.30 lakhs from Jabalpur, 1 lakh each from Bhandara, Gondia, Ujjain and Wardha, 3.25 lakhs from Amravati, 2.10 lakhs from Raipur, 1.45 lakhs from Chandrapur, 19 lakhs from Indore, 1.75 lakhs from Sehore, 4 lakhs (gross) from Ajmer, 4.10 lakhs from Bikaner, 1.70 lakhs from Kota, 50 lakhs (approx.) from Jaipur, 6.50 lakhs from Mangalore, 3.50 lakhs from Nanded, 1.30 lakhs from Warangal and 44 lakhs from Hyderabad. During its opening week, KISMAT KONNECTION has netted exactly 20.60 crores from India. And that without releasing at most of the PVR cinemas. The Shahid-Vidya starrer is set for another decent weekend and at least a semi-hit status from here on. KISMAT KONNECTION has also done quite well in the US grossing $ 430,822.
Box Office Status: Awaited.
