Brahmastra (Hindi) had an excellent first weekend as it collected almost 105 crore nett and that too without a holiday. The growth was strong on Saturday as the first day was probably boosted by around 2 crore nett due to the semi holiday but mass pockets did not push on Sunday as they could have. The growth was good but there was potential to go higher

The film has scored all over in the first weekend with excellent business in the big 20 cities while others places range from very good to good. But as Sunday did not push up high it will be more about the bigger centres driven by the 3D version while B and C centres will be lesser.

The film saw solid growth on Sunday in places like Gujarat and Ci but in that 20-30% zone and if these places could have pushed up 40-50% on Sunday then it could have been said with certainty now that the film would sustain strongly in the long run but now its about seeing what the weekdays bring.

There was a negative agenda against the film on Friday with the national press picking up the big loss in share price of PVR and Inox and labelling the film is a disaster based on that. But post release on Monday the share prices have recovered as actual facts come across but now no one will talk about that. Its likely that people in the industry even highlighted this and obviously they have some sort of agenda as well as they will also not highlight the recovery.  The collections of Brahmastra (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 31,00,00,000

Saturday - 35,00,00,000

Sunday - 38,50,00,000

TOTAL - 1,04,50,00,000

The film did well in languages in South as it grossed 13.50 crore nett which is almost the highest ever for a Hindi film in languages. The Telugu verson is already the highest ever and in Tamil the film has also done pretty well with good growth on Saturday. This has however meant Hindi versions in these places are probably a little less than they should especially in Tamil Nadu. The film collected 118 crore nett across India in all formats.
