There were many releases this week and collections were a disaster. A couple of weeks there were releases like Fryday, Helicopter Eela. Tumbbad etc which saw awful collections and this week has seen the likes of 5 Weddings, Baazaar, Chal Jaa Bapu. Dasshera, Gaon - The Village No More, Kaashi and The Journey of Karma.

The names of these films are horrible themselves so what to expect from the collections. Baazaar is the biggest film and has easily got the best collections but they are very poor. It is the only film that has a chance to get over 1 crore nett if there is a better turnout in the evenings. But this collections is a disaster for the film as its not the sort of film that will double or treble the first day numbers.

Saif Ali Khan used to get some fair numbers in the urban film backed up by good music. The likes of Love Aaj Kal or Cocktail did not much find much appreciatton on an all India level but there were takers in the metros but now these types like Chef, Kaalakandi and Baazaar is basically totally alien cinema to even the metros and there are no collections.

The collections of Bazaar may get past the numbers of Chef and Kaalakandi but that is probably because the release is wider and even if it does get past it will not be by much unless the the evening crowd really goes for the film.

The next best are 5 Weddings and Kaashi but both films are have extremely dull collections. Actually they have practically zero collections and will go nowhere at the box office. The releases are even worse which makes it a disaster Friday yet again.

The Hollywood release Goosebumps 2 which was also dubbed is as bad as a 5 Weddings and Kaashi and far below Baazaar. This has meant that the market is still dominated by Badhaai Ho which will be the leading film today by a margin.

In fact even Andhadhun despite being in week four could be the third best film after Badhaai Ho and Baazaar even though Andhadhun has taken a hit in collections on its fourth Friday and practically exhausted its run.
