The next few weeks till Baahubali will see the release of Saturday films starting with Phillauri this week and followed by the likes of Naam Shabana, Begum Jaan and Noor. There would have been Sarkar 3 as well which is in the same bracket no matter that the makers probably think there is some brand value but that has been delayed by a few weeks. Saturday films are the ones where which take a big jump on Saturday. None of these films have the elements to take an opening which makes Saturday all important. No matter what the opening 2,3 or 4 crore its about the growth and the trend.

The first in line is Phillauri which being a Punjab based film and the presence of Diljit Dosanjh will open better in Punjab and probably Delhi but its in Hindi and not in Punjabi so can't do the sort of numbers his Punjabi films do in the circuit. The film looks in two parts from the promos with the earthy love story looking decent but then goes into a typical rom - com which is passe for the box office today. If Mumbai can score then this film will work as North will be on for sure if Mumbai is working and these two are enough for a film like this.

The problem with all these films is also that they are almost totally dependent on the theatrical business in India. The satellite will only stand a chance if they work theatrically and digital which is the fast growing revenue source also gets the best deals when its based on box office collections.
