Article 370 has shown a fantastic trend in its opening weekend as the Yami Gautam-led film has collected Rs 23.25 crore over its 3-day period. The political thriller opened at Rs 5.50 crore on Friday and jumped by 35 percent to Rs 8 crore on Saturday. The film consolidated the first two-day trend with another spike of 25 percent on Sunday as estimates indicate collections in the range of Rs 9.50 to 10.00 crore.

Yami Gautam led Article 370 Emerges a HIT

The first day business of Article 370 was boosted by Cinema Lovers Day wherein the tickets were priced at Rs 99 all across the multiplex chains. The real value of Article 370 minute the offer is a jump from Rs 3 crore to Rs 9.75 crore over the 3-day period, which is 225 percent growth. The film is commanding a positive talk in the audience and should hold well on the weekdays and spring in a total that can fetch it a super hit verdict in the long run.

Article 370 is made on a controlled budget and the weekend trend has more or less sealed the HIT tag for this Yami Gautam film. If the Monday figure comes anywhere close to the opening day biz, the film could do blockbuster numbers in the long run and no verdict can be ruled out at this point of time as there is genuine appreciation among the cine-goers.

Crakk shows a dismissal trend in opening weekend

The second release of the week, Crakk, led by Vidyut Jammwal has seen a dismissal trend at the domestic box office. The actioner opened at Rs 4.00 crore on Friday benefitting from tickets capped at Rs 99. The film dipped to Rs 2 crore on the second day and couldn’t redeem itself on the make-or-break Sunday too as estimates indicate third-day business in the range of Rs 2.15 to 2.45 crore.

The word of mouth is just not there as the film is not able to trend despite a sampling in larger than usual audience base on the opening day. The three-day total of Crakk stands at Rs 8.35 crore and the film will be looking to finish under the Rs 15 crore mark in India. The budget is also on the higher side due to action being visualized on a big scale.
