John Abraham-Sonakshi Sinha starrer ‘Force 2’ release date locked The much-awaited sequel to the 2011 action-thriller flick ‘Force’ will be hitting the screens on 18th November, 2016. While the original one starred Genelia D’Souza as the female lead, this one will have Sonakshi Sinha play a RAW Agent. On the other hand, Tahir Raj Bhasin of ‘Mardaani’ fame would be taking on from Vidyut Jammwal to play the baddie. ‘Force 2’ stars John Abraham in the lead (and we are waiting to watch him get back in action once again after 'Rocky Handsome'), and has been directed by Abhinay Deo who has previously given us ‘Delhi Belly’, ‘Game’ and Anil Kapoor’s TV series ‘24’.
Azhar had a low first week of 28.25 crore nett as the collections fropped on the weekdays after a not so good weekend. The first collections are still better than the lifetime collections of all Emraan Hashmi film since Raaz 3 barring Hamari Adhuri Kahani which grossed 33 crore nett. It should be able to edge past that film in the next week or so. The film fare best in Nizam / Andhra with a little under 2 crore nett. Mumbai clocked a figure of around 9 crore nett while Delhi /UP was 5.75 crore nett. The film should have done better but Saturday proved to be a big let down as the film just did not grow and after that it was always going to be difficult. The film should continue in theatres till the release of the next big film Housefull 3 in a couple of weeks time but collections will ne low.

It was another week when the initial honors went to a Hollywood release as X Men - Apocalypse opened better than the Hindi release Sarabjit. The opening of the Hollywood release is not great as it opened to just about decent collections but still that is enough to beat Sarabjit. The opening of Sarabjit is low at around 15%. The content of the film seems to be for North India but though the opening there was better than other places, it was still not upto the mark. The opening in both Punjab and Delhi was not uto the mark but if the film is too pick up these areas can go up fast as is dominated by high end multiplexes. Sarabjit will have an open field if it can score on word of mouth as holdovers are coming to the end of their runs and though the competition of X Men - Apocalypse has opened better the gap can be made up easily over weekend if Sarabjit has the reports. Delhi and Punjab will have to pick up fast if the film is to have chance at the boxoffice. The film has further problems in Punjab that it is facing competition from a Punjabi film Kaptaan and although Kaptaan has also just opened to average numbers it dominates the screen sapce in Punjab.
