Rangoon had an epic crash on Monday as collections fell around 70-75% from the first day. The weekend was very low so normally a film would have a normal drop and hold at low levels over the weekdays but this film has faced the sort of rejection that has not been seen lately. Bombay Velvet, Fitoor, Mirziya and Rock On 2 are among the biggest disasters of all time but none of them crashed like this on Monday. Broken Horses is the granddaddy of disasters but that had no collections to talk off so that could not even crash.
The rejection on Monday is unprecedented but it was probably coming as the Shahid Kapoor / Vishal Bharadwaj combo had two rejected poor films in Kaminey (2009) and Haider (2014) so you should not really be trying your luck the third time as this sort of result will be around the corner. The costs got these two films to coverage but the public rejection could be clearly seen in the collections. The other hero Saif Ali Khan also had a widely rejected film with the director Omkara (2006) but did not learn the lesson that the main hero of that film Ajay Devgn probably did at the time. Its actually hard to put into words what has happened to Rangoon, there are debacles and disasters but this sort of rejection is a rare case. The business of Rangoon till date is as follows.
Friday - 5,06,00,000
Saturday - 4,75,00,000
Sunday - 4,50,00,000
Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 15,56,00,000 apprx
