Bharat collected around 7.75 crore nett on Tuesday and like Monday the drop is a little on the higher side. The film is not crashing out like the biggies of last year but the holds not good either. The seven day numbers of the films are 160 crore nett which is a good number but there are obstacles in the way.

Wednesday will be a crucial day to consolidate and remain steady as on Thursday there  is another big cricket match for India and collections are likely to be hit. If Wednesday sees a noticeable drop then the collections could be down at low levels at the start of the second week.

The plus is an open week in the second week but that is negated by the India Pak match on Sunday. The extended first week business will be a healthy 173 crore nett. and it remains to be seen how much it can add post the first week.
