Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's latest
directorial venture Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
(BMB), which features Farhan Akhtar as
flying Sikh, has topped the collection
with its excellent business at the Indian
Box Office in the first weekend. The Bollywood biopic, which has been made
with a whopping budget, has almost
recovered its production cost in just
three days. Its makers are all thrilled
with its performance.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag had decent
beginning with an occupancy of 40% to
45% in the morning and matinee shows
on Friday. The movie witnessed a
massive growth in business in the
evening/night shows. The film maintained the momentum all through
the weekend with a strong word of
mouth translating into superb
collections.
The Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor
starrer did exceptional business at the
multiplexes in circuits like Delhi, UP,
Punjab, Mumbai and Mysore. It also
registered good amount of footfalls in
circuits dominated by single screens. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has collected
approximately Rs 32.25 crores nett at the
Indian Box Office in the first weekend.
Its breakup is Rs 1.05 cr on Thu
previews, Rs 8.50 cr on Fri, Rs 10.70 cr on
Sat, Rs 12 cr on Sun.
But Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has failed to
beat the opening weekend record of
Farhan Akhtar's previous outing Zindagi
Na Milegi Dobara, which had raked in Rs
52.50 crore in three days. However,
trade experts opine that it is an excellent collection for Farhan as a
solo hero, and
the movie would take a complete week
to surpass Rs 50 crore mark.
