The encouraging reviews and all the buzz surrounding Raanjhanaa has worked in favour of the movie at the box office.
Starring Sonam Kapoor and introducing Dhanush to Bollywood, the movie by Aanand L Rai opened average on Friday morning but picked up during the course of the day. The Friday collections came to Rs. 5.12 crore net, which was average. More footfalls came in on Saturday and the collection rose to Rs. 6.81 crore net which is almost a 33 percent rise.
But wait! Something better was in store on Sunday.
On Sunday the film’s collection is said to have spiked to Rs. 8.15 crore net, again close to a 20 percent increase relative to Saturday’s collection.
The first weekend collection of Raanjhanaa comes to just over Rs. 20 crore net> It’s a good figure for a film of its stature.
The film’s leads, Sonam Kapoor and Dhanush, have won praises for their performance. The film is expected to hold its place during the week days.
The other releases Shortcut Romeo and Enemmy fared very disappointingly.
Meanwhile, Fukrey after its second weekend has cruised past Rs. 25 crore mark to emerge a hit.
The coming Friday would see the release of Ghanchakkar, starring Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan.
