Box Office: Kill Dil Gets Average Response

The expectations of the avid movie-goers in India were running high this weekend as Kill Dil took centre stage. The movie stars Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra, Ali Zafar and Govinda in the lead role and it is directed by Shaad Ali under the Yash Raj Films banner.

From the promos, Kill Dil appeared to be a hatke movie that would go well with the young Indian audience. However, the movie could not get a spectacular opening at the Indian box office despite Govinda and Ranveer Singh’s commendable performance. On the opening Friday, Kill Dil did a business of Rs 6.53 crore and netted another Rs 6.39 crore on Saturday. The business improved slightly on Sunday as Kill Dil managed to pocket Rs 7.26 crore. On Monday, it collected Rs. 4.1 crore.

Given that it was a solo release this weekend, it will continue to get similar collection figures all through the week, but at this stage, it looks unlikely that the movie will cross the Rs 100-crore mark. As per Wikipedia, Kill Dil has been made in a budget of Rs 35 crore.

On the other hand, Happy New Year has managed to survive 25 days at the box office. Its collection on the 25^th day was approximately Rs 44 lakh. Overall, the movie has now hit the Rs 200-crore mark and its total collections till date stand at Rs 205 crore.

On November 21, 2014, it will be the turn of Happy Ending to try its luck at the box office.
