Gone are the days when only big films were awaited and accepted by the audiences. Now, the audiences are very open to small budget films as well that are starring smaller actors and not shot at exotic international locations. While the year 2015 saw the creation of the 300 crore club, there were also many small films that performed extremely well at the box office. In fact small films too have a fixed set of audience just like there is a fixed set of audience for the big event films. The audiences of these small budget films step in the theatres with the expectation of good content films which the industry has delivered this year. Films like 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', 'Talvar', 'Hunterrr', 'Margarita With A Straw' and 'Manjhi' have not only received a lot of appreciation from the audiences and critics for the content, but also garnered good box office collections. 'Talvar', a film based on the double murder Noida case starring Irrfan Khan, Neeraj Kabi, Konkana Sen and Sohum Shah received a lot of accolades even at film festivals and collected a total of 35 crore NET. 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', a film starring Ayushmann Khurrana and newcomer Bhumi Pednekar was set in a small town and was widely appreciated for the strong story and simplistic portrayal. The film collected a total of 33 crore NET. 'Hunterrr', a coming of age film by debut director Harshvardhan Kulkarni, starring Gulshan Devaiah, Radhika Apte and Marathi actress, Sai Tamankar found a big audience too and collected 13.50 crore NET. Kalki Koechlin took hearts away when she played a rebellious young woman with cerebral palsy in the film 'Margarita with a Straw'. The film did rounds of various film festivals and with this solo actress collected 5.97 crore NET apart from huge appreciations for story and performance. 'Manjhi', another real life story starring the two actors known for their performances, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte and 'NH10' starring Anushka Sharma and Rajkumar Rao made a mark at the Box Office. 'Court' and 'Masaan', both small budget ventures won immense critical acclaim but failed to work wonders at the BO. Most of the small films reflect India in a big way and are extremely rooted, may be in the locations (small towns), in the thought process, inspired from true Indian stories etc which helps the film connect to the masses of the country. Big production houses and producers have started backing small films to a great extent. Their belief and faith in such films is very high and they are seen investing in small budget films that also give them higher return on investments. According to a noted film critic and trade analyst, "While many smaller films did well this year, there were many that didn’t do well too. A movie, whether big or small, should be connectable; that’s what matters." Also, thanks to the unique marketing ideas of these films, audiences were more aware of the release and looking forward to watching the film. Once you get the audiences inside the theatre, the good content of the film has spoken and led to positive word of mouth which in turn leads to good box office collections.
Dilwale fell 55% on Monday as compared to Friday which is a bit more than the normal drop. Also with less business consumed on the weekend due to the clash the weekday trend should be better than normal. The business of Dilwale over the first four days is as follows. Friday - 20,85,00,000 Saturday - 19,50,00,000 Sunday - 23,00,00,000 Monday - 9,50,00,000 apprx TOTAL - 72,85,00,000 The first week business will probably be around 95 crore nett and then remains to be seen how well can it do in Xmas week but with this Monday drop a real big number is out of the question.
Bajirao Mastani was very steady on Monday dropping just 15% on its first Monday as comapred to Friday. The hold was similar all in most circuits but Mumbai leads with 21 crore nett apprx business as it has held from higher levels. The business of Bajirao Mastaani over the first four days is as follows. Friday - 12,25,00,000 Saturday - 15,00,00,00 Sunday - 17,75,00,000 Monday - 10,25,00,000 apprx TOTAL - 55,25,00,000 The weekend growth did not suggest this type of hold on Monday but that is probably as the film could not show optimum growth due to competition from Dilwale which scored over the weekend.
