Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Ahilya
Bamroo
in
I
Want
To
Talk.
Last
week’s
release,
the
Abhishek
Bachchan
starrer
I
Love
To
Talk
was
a
multiplex
film
and
aimed
at
a
niche
audience.
Though
the
film
boasted
of
a
good
performance
by
Abhishek,
there
was
hardly
any
promotion
around
it.
That
reflected
in
the
collections
too,
as
the
film
opened
at
around
Rs
25
lakh,
taking
the
overall
weekend
at
just
over
Rs
1.25
crore
(Rs
12.5
million).
It
will
fold
up
at
less
than
Rs
3
crore
mark
(Rs
30
million).
Bhumika
Chawla
and
Ajay
Devgn
in
Naam.
Ajay
Devgn’s
Naam,
which
released
two
decades
after
it
was
made,
saw
some
decent
promotion
but
hardly
any
footfalls.
It
saw
a
weekend
collections
of
just
Rs
1.50
crore
(Rs
15
million),
which
means
the
lifetime
collections
will
be
very
low.

Vikrant
Massey’s
The
Sabarmati
Report
is
a
success
story.
After
doing
reasonably
fair
in
the
first
week,
the
film
is
progressing
towards
Rs
35
crore
(Rs
350
million)
lifetime
collections.
In
the
second
weekend,
it
fared
even
better
than
the
first
with
Friday
bringing
in
Rs
1.55
crore
(Rs
15.5
million),
Saturday
was
superb
at
Rs
2.65
crore
(Rs
26.5
million)
and
Sunday
was
over
Rs
3
crore
(Ra
30
million).
Preity
Zinta,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho.
But
it’s
the
re-release
of
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
that’s
doing
the
best
business!
The
Shah
Rukh
Khan-Saif
Ali
Khan-Preity
Zinta-starrer
has
done
close
to
Rs
5
crore
(Rs
50
million)
business
already
by
the
close
of
the
second
weekend
and
is
the
favourite
amongst
audiences
currently.
The
Nikkhil
Advani
directorial
is
a
success
story
all
over
again,
two
decades
after
it
first
released.
Given
its
current
box
office
trend,
a
lifetime
of
around
Rs
8
crore
(Rs
80
million)
should
be
expected.
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan
and
Raakhee
in
Karan
Arjun.
The
other
re-release,
Karan
Arjun,
fared
surprisingly
low.
Despite
getting
quite
a
few
screens
and
shows,
it
managed
to
cross
only
Rs
1.50
crore
(Rs
15
million).
The
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Salman
Khan
starrer
deserves
better
and
one
waits
to
see
if
it
catches
up
in
the
days
to
come.

Allu
Arjun
in
Pushpa:
The
Rise.
Allu
Arjun’s
Pushpa:
The
Rise
has
re-released
as
well,
ahead
of
its
sequel
coming
up
in
December,
but
the
collections
were
under
Rs
75
lakh.
The
film
practically
came
unannounced
and
there
was
hardly
any
awareness
around
it.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
