Ajay Devgn and Tabu led Bholaa saw a significant drop in its collections on Wednesday, with the numbers around 40 percent down from Monday and 45 percent down from Tuesday. The collections were up on Tuesday because of the boost that the film got on account of the Mahavir Jayanti holiday. The Wednesday collections are around Rs 2.75 crores and that takes the first seven day collections to Rs 52.75 crores nett. The extended week one shall end on Thursday and by then, the film will have collected around Rs 55 crores nett.

Bholaa Shall Continue To Be The Box Office Leader At The Hindi Box Office

Bholaa shall enjoy yet another open week at the box office with no new significant releases from the Hindi Film Industry. It shall continue to be the box office leader, right until Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Friday is a holiday and the Friday after that is a holiday as well. They should help the film maintain steady numbers at low levels. The second Friday, in all probability, should have collections higher than second Thursday and the second weekend can then be enough to take the film near and around Rs 65 crores nett. By the end of its run, the film will have crossed Rs 100 crores gross at the worldwide box office.

Remake Has Dented The Prospects Of Bholaa

Bholaa is a remake of Kaithi and remakes these days create a very wrong perception about and around the movie. Taking nothing away from the fair numbers that Bholaa has accumulated in its first week, these numbers could have been better looking at the merits of the film. It shall become the highest grossing remake film of the year but that's no achievement. Drishyam 2 is an exception and not the rule. It was benefitted by the familiarity factor of the first part and the first part released when making remakes wasn't something that affected the film a lot. To create a new IP, it is essential not to depend on another language film. Meanwhile, Bholaa is the third highest grossing Hindi film so far, only behind Pathaan and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
