Boxofficeindia's representative Mr Ashok is doing BO reporting for Bollyvista , here's wat he has said...

By Ashok

'Charas' and 'Sheen' are non-starters with less than 20% openings. 'Main Hoon Na' has created many records all over but its fate depends on the next few weeks due to the record prices, which were fetched in some circuits. It is the second most expensive film ever for distributors after 'The Hero', with an all India cost including print and publicity of 17 crore. The film has fetched an amazing 7 crore+ net gross from the 7 big cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. The collections have started to fall at some centers.

Here's a list of top ten for the week ending May 8th, 2004.

1. Main Hoon Na
Number of Weeks: 1
Total Gross: 13.5 crore (updated on May 9th, 2004)

MHN 13.5 crores first week...damn that's awesome

Box Office Flash
Dateline: Tuesday, May 11, 2004

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------


Bollywood has been on a surprisingly good run recently with Ab tak Chappan,
Murder and Masti recording solid collections over the last 2 months. While
the former two are mid-level grossers with Rs. 8 and 12 crores respectively,
Masti is poised for over Rs. 20 crores in net business from across India.

Last week saw the release of Shahrukh Khan's Main Hoon Naa.
Main Hoon Naa released after the downturn for Khan's track caused
by the much delayed Yeh Lamhe Judai Ke which released earlier last month
to minimal collections. Though the public reaction to MHN was mixed overall
with the percentage of capacity ranging from mid-90s to low-40s in India,
MHN nonetheless received bumper opening week net collections due in large
measure to Khan's initial draw (YLJK notwithstanding) and the combination of
the the prevailing government subsidies in higher grossing theaters alongside
the inflation in ticket rates that have kicked in recently in the same.
First week net Collections are in excess of 4 crores from Bombay circuit, 3+ crores
from Delhi-UP circuit and in range of 1-2 crores each from the remaining major
circuits.

The film has been steeply sold. In the Bombay territory for example,
the break even point is at around Rs. 5.75 crores for Ashtavinayak Cine
Vision which is distributing the film on an acquisition price of Rs. 4.5 crores.

The film was launched on over 320 prints across India.

Overseas the film has done quite well, and is expected to tune out at around
$2 million in USA and UK each by the end of the film's run.

As a point of reference however, it is to be noted that western box office charts
show pure gross box office collections, ie ticket price * number of tickets sold.
Throughout much of India on the other hand, collections are reporterted not
as the original gross but rather as 'nett of gross', which is the figure after
the deduction of government surcharge/Entertainment Tax from the gross. The ET
being as high as 110% of the nett in some parts of the country, leads to
misunderstanding of the relative financial volume of ticket sales being
generated from the territories of India. A Rs 12-13 crore nett of gross collection
in India therefore is in fact closer to Rs. 20 crores in terms of actual gross
box office sales across the country.

Coming up this month: Despite not having a single solo hit to his credit, Abhishek
Bachchan continues to see studios and producers risking it on his projects.
The latest being Run, a remake of a Tamil film by the same name. Sunny Deol,
John Abraham et. al mix it up in Lakeer. Sridevi herself marks a comeback
of sorts with Akshay Kumar in Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahi. Mani Ratnam
presents his outlook on India's youth with Yuva, and the Rajshrees and Yashraj
banners attempt the small budget romance fares with Uff Kya Jadoo Mohabbat Hai
and Hum Tum.
